1.Production on Russia plant with modern CNC. perhaps a bit lower costs (labor) but the state does not give permits to manufacture guns (thus Demyan LLC was born at Austria). Even if it gave permit the cost i expect it to be around the same for same QC and finish on ALL surfaces. Remember IJ-35 and ...

khaidurov designed great pistols but correct me if i am wrong with the exception of TOZ-35 (which is single shot) most of them were built in very small quanities for the members of former soviet union team and the team had its own gunsmith to keep things up and running (as all big teams). that's now...

remember that factory prices are always lower than what we as actual customers pay. there are distribution costs, VAT, profit margins and so on that inflate the final price ... we will see when it finally appears for sale in gun stores but imho we will not see it under 1500 euros (at germany because...

AW93 costs about 1600~1700 euros in Germany online shops. P44 costs around 1200 and LP10 costs around 1200-1300. My guess would be that since the general arangement of SP08 is similar to AW93 producing SP08 in Austria would result a price closer to 1800.

there is of not use to install the sensor inside an expired cylinder because sensors have cables that will make mounting the culinder very hard.[/code]

The thing is LP300 after the initial period that every new pistol has to go through seemed to be a very good alternative to the LP10 - 162E, having a very distinct look and its own unique characteristics (like 300bar tanks for example). I wonder why walther took such big departure again in their des...

its interesting. Most interesting to me is the electronic trigger in SSP and the removable butt in LG400 rifle ( like steyr air rifles). Also interesting is the fact that walther introduces new models every few years.

Accuracy wise it is more than ok for home and local matches. I agree tanks are old but still usable (i use my old lp10 tanks even though i do have a new one). trigger and grip you might have to drive there and try them. if they feel comfortable then lp200 isnt a bad choice.

no pistol is flawless. my club gsp were having difficulties at the latest match, i have seen an ssp failing, a cm-22 very selective of ammo. even pardini had a jam at a rapid fire final at a recent wc. more important is customer support from the factory

i believe this is a wrong question. you should try to test as many of air pistols as you can and then choose the one you feel more comfortable with because all pistols shoot inner tens from a vise. personally when i shoot with my izzy i find it more satisfying than when i shoot with my 162E or LP10.

interesting about the FP60. perhaps i was confused by the holes for the counterweights that look like sam/mg ones. but it is nice to know that options do exist beside the morini/toz road

if my memory serves me correctly the most noticeable difference between the 35 and 35M is the shape of the trigger guard - the 35M has a larger trigger guard and more angular in shape. Also the 35M includes a band around the barrel near the middle and the 35M front sight also displays a band ( in 35...

Steyr no longer has it in their catologues. i have seen one in my country but never actually touched it .. it was a very weird looking pistol indeed
