Re: Got my Walther LP500 - but there's a catch

Response from Krale - "Thank you for your email! I checked this for you, and you did receive the correct LP500. This is their newest model, this has unfortunately not been amended yet on our website, which is why you did not receive the one that was shown. We do not have the carbon version avai...

Re: Pistol targets click chart

I have some constructive feedback for your document (which I think is great, BTW) In your document - how-to-click-a-pistol-issf-windage-and-elevation-sighting-instructions Section - Changing from precision to rapid fire pistol targets You state "ISSF pistol shooters aim at 6 o’clock on precisio...

Re: Got my Walther LP500 - but there's a catch

I don’t think Krale did anything wrong. You ordered a LP500 Expert and that’s what you got. You got the the latest expert Walther is selling. The only place I have seen the change listed is on Carl-walther.com. Everywhere else still shows the carbon fiber with the red tip. When I ordered mine from ...

Re: Got my Walther LP500 - but there's a catch

According to the Walther website, all of this seems 100% correct. Looks like the Expert does ship with 2x aluminum cylinders now. I just wish Krale would have updated their website to reflect the change - it's extremely difficult to manage customer expectations when you promise one thing and send an...

Seems you are correct. Shame about the carbon fiber cylinder substitution though, wish that had been stated on the Krale sight.

If you ordered a single carbon fiber cylinder, would they ship 2 aluminum ones? That would probably be a good deal :-)

Got my Walther LP500 - but there's a catch

So, I ordered a Walther LP500 Expert with carbon fiber cylinder from Krale earlier this week. UPS dropped off a package today, but what I got seems to be the competition model with aluminum cylinders. Ugh. Note the silver tip in the compensator denoting the competition model as opposed to red for ex...

Re: Inband left US market

Freetarget may be the way to go. I contacted Allen Brown , organizer of the FB Freetarget group and got pricing for the electronic portion of the build. Very affordable. They build looks pretty straight forward. Think I'll give it a go and report when finished.

Inband left US market

Been looking at the Inband target systems and was ready to pull the trigger on one... went to the website and they've pulled out of the North American market as of today citing logistic (manufacturing & shipment) concerns. Rats.

Re: Walther/Hammerli Air Pistols Gone From US Market?

I just ordered a LP500 expert from Krale (Netherlands) yesterday, due in Memphis this Friday (UPS, $30 shipping). I wouldn't hesitate to send anyone to them. The ugly truth is that many of the folks selling Walther's in the US buy them through the Krale wholesale program and just middle you. If they...
