Hi All Many, many thanks for all the replies - this is why I like this place so much:-) Right, just to update you all, I decided to put my money (or score) where my mouth is at the weekend and decided to test out a few things - shot two initial comps on Saturday, coming out with 545 and 548 respecti...

I remember Don Nygord causing a mini-revolution when he came up with the short barreled FWB65. Many thought they HAD to have one. See normally I would agree Rover and say that may be the only reason I want one is because it is there - but I have to say that the results I have had with the short ver...

Friday morning moan - advice and help please

Morning All Firstly, apologies for the lengthy missive, I have been dwelling on this topic for sometime, I sort of know what I need to do, but it is finding the courage to stand by my decision! Right, a few months ago I decided to try out an lp10 compact - loved the gun, the balance, the feel of it....

Exact Barrel length and Shroud length for Steyr LP10 Compact

Hi All

I know it is a long shot but has anyone got the exact length of both the barrel shroud and barrel (precisely in mm please) - or has anyone got one they could measure accurately for me ?

Thanks in advance

I think the biggest problem facing walther with their new series of pistols is that they are in big danger of pricing themselves out of the market - recommended retail for the standard alutec shrouded version of the LP400 here in the uk is £1500, add the cost of an extra cylinder, weights and better...

Hi Rover Thank you for confirming what I have been saying for sometime - I have met a great deal of subjective discussion about the use of rifle pellets in a pistol, and when questioned on such a matter, those who stand by this fail to give any logical reason. I have used the JSB greens since swappi...

Hello Dev When you say 'sensitive to pellets' can you give an example of what you mean - I have used most pellets from the cheaper training pellets (branded as Geco's in the UK) right up to the most expensive brands such as H & N and have found that all of them will comfortably hold the 10 ring ...

Yes it is available for the general public. I have also seen several sold on Egun, some new, some used. It seems the delivery delay can be relatively big. Do know why, if it is due to too big demand or due to low amount produced ? Given my past knowledge of Walther's production, I think that much o...

Walther Lp400

Hi All Just wandering if anyone has seen these used in anger yet? I know Walther aren't usually the best at keeping to release dates, but I thought these were due out to the general public a few months ago, or is it just those 'in the know' that have been given the chance to have the first few produ...

Hi Guys

Thanks for your replies, this is really, really useful - Greg, I love the range notes, especially the toilet notes - I have been telling the juniors to alway do a quick tour of the facilities just in case ;-)

Training/Competition Diary - what do you write?

Hi All I am looking at this from a coaching perspective and a competitor perspective and just wanted to ask what other people put in theirs ? I know this is very much a personal thing, but I want to see if there is a commonality amongst shooters. My general points include: range - condition, lightin...

I am not sure of the exact diameter, but the only triggers I think that are available are the standard LP2 trigger (which I prefer), the tec-hro version (which is nasty after a while, particularly with anything close to 500grams trigger weight) and there is a version that mec do that is similar to t...

Ah, sorry Rob - the original poster asked about the loudness of the Lp10 compared to the Lp10E, which I can confirm as I have both here - the loudness of the LP10E compared to the morini I couldn't do as I don't have a morini here. I have been lucky enough to compare both the triggers side by side, ...

The grip on the LP10E is adjustable in exactly the same way as the Lp10 as the electronic mechanism is connected via a wire (not a flimsy one either) rather than being solid.

Hope this helps

There are no noticeable differences between the lp10 and the Lp10 E, I have just shot both upstairs (this would of course depend upon the power you prefer to have yours set at) - as for morini and steyr, sorry, I cannot compare the two yet but might be able to at the weekend.

I have put about 400 shots through mine already since getting it at the weekend; I will try to summarize my (unscientific) findings thus far; trigger - on a par with, if not better than the morini - there isn't a lot to make you choose between them, although, for me, the steyr seems that bit more ad...
