PCP Pistol Comparison

Post by dulcmr-man »

A friend passed recently and his widow is offering me first choice to purchase one of the following:

Steyr Sport
Walther LP 400
Pardini K12
Feinwerkbau P44

I already own a Morini 162 EI and like it a lot.

Is there anything I should consider in choosing one over the others? I've shot all of them and there are minor differences in the feel of the grips, but nothing that jumps out at me.

Your comments are much appreciated.

I didn't know there was more than one kind. It's a single shot PCP air pistol. That's all I can say for now. Will have to look at it in person and get more data.

I have a soft spot for the P44 because of the phenomenal trigger.

If you really can't decide, the one with the youngest cylinders. If you don't shoot matches where that would make a difference, grab the one your friend preferred to use; it will be the best remembrance.

Failing all else, go for the prettiest colors.

It doesn't matter which you choose. Buy the cheapest and spend the difference on bourbon and beer to toast your friend (and some Scotch for William).

Good advice, William. Will see which one he liked best.

Another piece of good advice, Rover. As always, you've made me smile.

It really does need to be experienced to be appreciated.
