Hi,
I am happy to inform you that my p44 arrived today



Questions anyone?

Kent

Kent I'm sure you will enjoy it, got a chnace to try one on the trip to Germany a couple of weeks ago. It's the nicest pistol they have made to date IMHO. Enjoy, let us know what you think about it after you put a few rounds through it.

Congratulation
i am still waiting for mine.
So what is Your first impression?
balance, trigger, sights.

stale

An internet search turned up nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA, CraigE

Beeman carries the P40, so I assume they will also import the P44.
http://www.beeman.com/price.htm

Champions Choice also lists the P40.
Since Pilkington imports the AW93 from FWB, they could likely get a P44 as well

The P44 looks OK.

They had to do something quick as the P40 was a bit of a dog... It must have lasted only a couple of years, compare that to the Steyr LP1 at 10 years and the LP10 7 years and still going.

I have a Feinwerkbau P40 match air pistol.
I have my pistol for about 1 year, the pistol is fine and never have a problem.

I see the new model P44, I don see great changes to induce me to sell my pistol and buy the new one.
؟somebody see or try the new FWB P44? ؟should I have to change my pistol for the new model?

Now I am shooting 560 in air pistol, but I was shooting 556 with my old FWB C10.

Best regards,


Nano

This is an interesting post by Nano in a Canadian Shooting forum .
Should have asked his permission ? Nano, do you grant me permission ?

Actually , what drew my attention in his post was the fact that he was shooting with his old FWB C10 what he shoots now , more or less , with his more modern FWB P40 . This means that the pistol makes little difference in scores.

Hi,
My advice will be to trade the P40 for a P44!
No body will bye your P40 tomorrow. It is dead.

Kent

Kent, more of your nice pictures please! :-)

I second Stales questions, how does it feel, sights, balance etc. Muzzle jump and recoil feel compared to a LP10?

/Axel

Hi, what sort of picture?
Balance is right where blue and gray color meet.
Give me a week or two; I decided to buy the pistol today.
LP10 does not have anything that is missing on P44. The trigger shoe comes a lot further back. It was easier to change 1st and 2nd stage weight. The rear sight can be elevated in ordinary style AND at another place in a new style. The range is more than one target.

Added some pictures

Kent,
Wondering how the pistol is set up for dry fire. And, did you get the accessory weight bars/weight? How/where do they attach? Thank you for going to the trouble to post the pictures and provide information.

CraigE

Hi,
No weight bars was provided with the gun. That is around 50$ extra.
Have bought them but you may do fine without.
Dry fire is easy, just press a button. Sorry for a blurr picture.
Kent

ok so can we get on with the real review now? please?

i am really eager to know how it shoots. it is the lightest currently right?

i remember hearing that it takes 6 months to get used to a new gun so prob the scores will climb.

Hi Kent!

Nice pictures!

A picture of the barrel and compensator would be nice.

/Axel

Hi,
Dear Guest!
It does not feel light when shooting but I can shoot for hours...
No, the score has not gone down. It takes some time to test all possible adjustments. I have changed the grip to a RINK right from start. Original Morini was OK but this is a large investment so why stop it from being perfect? Does 10 points makes a difference for you? It does for me.
Are you willing to put hours into the sport? I am. P44 does recoil, LP10 does not. P44 can be adjusted, but recoil is not inportant for me.
Added weight today but that is if you want a heavy front. I can do better without it. The weight does not touch the barrel.
How it shoots? Well, that depends on who is behind the pistol. Let me put it this way; I do not think a LP10 or 162EI can reward you better.
No gun can substitute for training.
Axel: Pictures coming. Rear sight can be set further back 10 or 20 mm so it can just go into the box. Front sight has two positions.

Kent

This will be the last pictures! The targets does not say that the pistol is good. It is to say that we are getting along well today.
Kent

Kent,

Thanks for taking the time to both post the pictures and provide the comments.

Craig

You two seem to get along pretty well , enjoy each others company , and many tens !

Chris

Thanks Kent!

Beautiful shooting there. 100p and 99p !!! :-)

I have one more question: What about accidently loading 2 pellets, is it as simple as with a Morini? I did it today for the first time. It was only a small club match, but still... Very frustrating!
