Thinking of buying a FWB 100. Anyone know how they hold up? Im afraid of these single cocker pistols should I be?

I haven't used the FWB, but it has the ergonomics, accuracy, and velocity to be perfectly satisfactory. I do use a Pardini 58 pneumatic along with two other pistols and see no difference in the scores. I like it a lot because it requires no additional accessories besides pellets. It has saved me on a couple of matches when I've had problems with other guns.
There are those who don't care for the pumpers because they say it makes them tired. I bet they can't hold them up either! The effort to pump one of these is nothing once you determine the most efficient method.
If it's like other FWB's I've shot it should be sweet!

i hope you made a mistake because mod 100 is no longer in production. the current version mod 103 would be a better buy due to the removable cocking lever. it brings the weight under 1kg when removed and can be left on to act as sort of a stabaliser.
you might want to consider compressed air types. i think they might be cheaper to buy. additionally having less moving parts is always a good thing.

If the SSP rifles are anything to judge by , the 100 should be very reliable , and have a pretty nice trigger to boot . SSP's intrigue me , I'll deffinatly get one some day . It would be good if you could find out how much the 100 and 103 differ , and if parts will or won't be a problem .
