Leshiy 9mm suitable for smaller calibers?

[Madeintheuk]

I have a lead on one, but no desire to own 9mm. How many parts are different on these compared to standard leshiy 2’s other than big plenum and jets?

Is it safe to say I could run a smaller caliber at much lower reg pressure with the larger plenum and get more efficiency for that caliber (with a jet change of course)?

Why wouldn’t it be down tuneable? The only downside for you is simply making it into a more practical platform…

Yeah you’ll be shooting these small calibers at 2000 fps. The 9 has a massive plenum and is jetted and tuned to move some heavy lead. You’ll have to call Edgun west to see their recommendations on what jets, puck and regulator setting they recommend

My thoughts exactly…

Lead free .177 pellets at 4000 fps

I was hoping someone with experience with the setup can chime in. I have no real need for a 9mm, but the price is super good, and I could sell off what I don’t need to buy the parts that I do. My worry is that the plenum has diminishing returns for what I want. I’m not looking super powerful, just a basic 25 pellet shooter.

I have the 9, It’s a beast. I don’t think anyone has detuned it that I’m aware of that has experience doing so. There aren’t that many 9s out there. You’re better off just finding a L2 in the caliber you want ready to go.
