Re: Isakov and Walther LP400
97nick, which pistol will you buy, FWB or Walther? I'm curious to know where your head's at with regard to this, because choosing a pro pistol is a big deal. I sweated for ages before buying mine (what if it's crap?). Having an emotional expectation about a purchase, followed by a delivery of the ac...

Re: Isakov and Walther LP400
97nick, my LP400 carbon (M grip) is less than 900g with an empty cylinder. The FWB could be more than 100g heavier (with a medium grip). Not a big deal to many shooters, but something to consider.

Re: Isakov and Walther LP400
I just purchased the carbon (long) version. A light and well-made pistol, the trigger is better than I expected. The grip and sights are sensibly designed; a pleasure to shoot.
