Walther-Hammerli FP60
Anyone out there using the latest FP60? I've read the archived comments here about the earlier versions and am curious how the new one has evolved.

I've got one and I love it.
It's the best gun I have ever shot. The test group that came with it had an extreme measurement of 13mm. My best group at an extreme measurement is 16mm. This thing is a hole puncher
The rounded trigger blade takes a little while to get used to, but because the point of contact on my finger is so small I am able to place my finger in exactly the same position every time, my trigger control has gone through the roof. I prefer mechanical triggers to electronic and I love the feel of it.
There are a lot of clever adjustments on it, the depth of the sight notch can be adjusted by a screw, the rake on the grip can too (via a hole in the grip.)
It also one of those pistol that wants to sit still. It is very well balanced for me. It also gives a lot of feedback. I know exactly when I've shot a great shot or a poor shot.
The weight system that comes with it is also fairly easy to operate and the balance can be changed quite simply.
There are a couple of things I don't like.
The factory grip sucks. After 2 days of playing with it I gave up and got a Rink grip for it and it works really well, except for being a pain in the ass to put on, like every other Walther ever.
It's typical Hammerli where you need a big hand, because the back of the grip and trigger are so far apart (see Hammerli 208 for more details.)
The barrel, whilst brilliantly made is long. The shortest sight radius is 449mm.
All in all a great pistol and I would recommend it to anyone.
Good luck
