me too, I like a light pistol. going down to Bisley next month to have a fondle......Europa wrote:97nick, my LP400 carbon (M grip) is less than 900g with an empty cylinder. The FWB could be more than 100g heavier (with a medium grip). Not a big deal to many shooters, but something to consider. Also, the LP400 trigger spring experimentation appears to have been resolved. I think the grip locking bolt might be more robust now as well (compared to earlier models); Ulrich may be able to confirm these updates?
I prefer to shoot a light pistol. The carbon is lighter than most AP's, while still retaining all the necessary professional functionality.
I really dont know yet, I shoot a Styer LP10, (an old one, absorber doesn't work any more so needs to be fully serviced)Europa wrote:97nick, which pistol will you buy, FWB or Walther? I'm curious to know where your head's at with regard to this, because choosing a pro pistol is a big deal. I sweated for ages before buying mine (what if it's crap?). Having an emotional expectation about a purchase, followed by a delivery of the actual item are two, totally, different things. Anyone have any interesting experiences?
What is it about the Steyr sight that irritates you? The fact that the notch is adjustable for both width and depth? Or is it that you don't need a screwdriver or allen key to adjust the elevation and windage? Or maybe the ability to move it forward and aft to change the sight radius?97nick wrote: ... the sight on both the Walther and FWB look great, Steyer sights really irritate me!...

Yeah, those are pretty annoying features, it would be much better without them...
The Walther sight is nice, except for needing an allen key to adjust.
The FWB on the other hand... Looks like it was designed by a committee!
There's no need. All of the manufacturers are perfect and make perfect guns. That being the case, there's no reason to have any discussion about any guns in the future.SamEEE wrote: Bit out there but I have access to a bus, do you guys want to line up and throw all of the pistol manufacturers under it as I drive past?
A Scottish Claymore?django wrote:Light pistol work only on practice. In tournament with adrenaline rush you need heavier weapon. Trust me :)
Funnily enough, I was searching through old threads for information on lubricants and found that someone else had a "cylinder launch" a year ago.pgmlml wrote: The cylinder and pistol threads on the LP400 are not steel! magnet does stick to it :/
No, but when you're that close to a cylinder launch you tend to remember it.Europa wrote:David Levene, do you lie in bed each night hoping that the LP400 monster will not disturb your sleep? Also, you appear to claim significant knowledge about this particular pistol. Do you actually own a Walther LP400?

Fondled the Walther yet?97nick wrote:me too, I like a light pistol. going down to Bisley next month to have a fondle......
Not strange, simply a lack of time. To search through a thread like this one, which has not much to do with the original theme takes some time, and actually I've got only some minutes per day to look through several boards and helping some fellows, who have contacted me via private message. This here was purely coincidence, because the board marks this thred as "read", although it is on top of the list and contains obviously some new postings.David Levene wrote:pgmlml wrote: I notice that Ulrich hasn't said anything about the stripped cylinder threads; strange.
