Difference between a Feinwerkbau model 65 and a Steyr LP 10?
I started shooting middle of last year, with an old Feinwerkbau model 65 that was lent to me. Now, my college's coach is suggesting that I buy a Steyr LP10. The problem is, that there aren't any local dealers selling this, and if I want one, I'll have to import. With my current average of about 90/100, is it worth it?
The differences
1. Its Pre charged Air so no cocking
2. It has better sights than the 65
3. It has a better trigger than the 65
4. Higher velocity than the 65 ( so it may be more forgiving of shooter movements)
5. Better and more ergonomic adjustments
6. It has a compensator which theoretically improves accuracy
7. It has a ported barrel which reduces muzzle flip
8. They both have recoil absorbtion but the LP10's is far less clunky than the FWB 65.
They really aren't comparable pistols the FWB 65 is a great pistol and in its day it was the top (its day has passed) the LP10 is a great pistol and is still in its day (one of the two top pistol in the world right now).
Only you can decide the value of moving to a newer LP10, buit rest assured you won't be losing any thing by going from the FWB 65.
I shoot a LP10 but I'd also look at the Morini 165 EI(I prefer the short) and the FWB P44. Morini probably has the best trigger on the market and the P44 has a very nice mechanical trigger ( I have seen complaints aout the finish wearing on the P44).
