When the US dollar was stronger you could get one Euro for about 85 cents.

Now that same Euro will cost you $1.23.

I have the Hammerli 208s. In order to safely dry fire this pistol you need to use the little red plug that comes with the gun. Other than that there is no dry fire mechanism on the pistol.

I havent used that pistol, but since you are in Jacksonville you might want to talk with Steve Moore of 10x Ring service who is also in Jax. He is a factory authorized service center for FWB as well as several other high end European manufactures. I'm sure he could offer some insight as to what you ...

Any Steyr LP10 shooters in the Indianapolis area?

Hi, I'm thinking about selling my LP1 so I can buy an LP10. Initially I had thought about the FWB P40 but like the Steyr so much why make a total change like that. If any of you guys live in the Indy area I'd like to hear from you and possibly arrange a meeting to I could see one of these guns. Also...

I have really enjoyed your reviews and though them to be quite informative.

I'd like to know if you have any plans to review the new FWB P-40? From what I have been able to find out there seems to be enough of a difference between it and the P34 to justify it.

Thanks, Tom

Ditto to the Hamerlli 208s, I have put over 3000 rounds through mine with nothing but perfect feeding, extractions and accuracy. They arent cheap but I think they are well worth the money. Some people will say its an old design with a lot of snap which causes problems with rapid fire events. I have ...

I use the Champion Olympic's and think they are great. I measured the distance from my eye to the front sight post and had lens ground for that exact distance. It really makes it nice squarely through the center of the lens. Make sure you have them put an index mark on the lens at the 12 o'clock pos...

Any FWB P40 owners in the Indianapolis area?

I currently shoot the Steyr LP1 and am thinking about selling it and getting the P40. But prior to actually making the transaction I'd like the opportunity to actually see the gun. If anyone in the Indy area has one I'd like to talk with you about the gun and how it compares to others you have fired...
