William, I understand what SamEEE is trying to say here! I've been struglling with my LP400 trigger for 2 months now! The sear adjustment is a pain in the ass, millimetric adjustments are needed to get an acceptable trigger!"The LP400 isn't bad either - but the ones that I have seen down here didn't impress me in terms of sear overlap adjustment; maybe they have fixed that now? In my inexpert view the sear grind angle wasn't quite right[?!?] and as a consequence the grub screw did not affect the sear overlap in a meaningful way."
Pardon my extremely inexpert view, but this would seem to disqualify the Walther from serious consideration. If Sam's observations have any truth to them the conclusion is that these guys don't know or don't care about getting the absolute basics right.
As to the original question - and leaving Rover to post his usual, dyspeptic "Look in the archives" - if you're in the US and if budget matters, a Benelli Kite from Larry Carter should not be ruled out.
I'm sure the engineers at Walther know what they did, and why they did it, but I do think they exagerated! I believe the problem is the sear angle, that is set for a very crisp breakup! So crisp that 80 grams feel like 200 grams my old Benelli!
I know it will get better With time :) And I do love everything about my LP400!!!
