Don't like it? Look on the Classified here.
For your use, I'd buy a FWB65 and save a bundle.

The answer is to buy what fits you and feels best. The LP10 has a recoil compensator which the LP2 doesn't have. I suspect the LP1 doesn't either but I don't know.
My advice is to go try a few before buying anything.

Hi bzizzi373, I think that LP1 is about $600 over priced.
best of luck;

The most popular air pistols for serious competition seem to be the Steyr and Morini. I would choose a pre-compressed air pistol rather than a single stroke pneumatic or CO2, if you are going to shoot competition. If you get a pre-compressed pneumatic, you will have to consider that you will need a scuba tank or manual pump to fill the cylinders. The scuba tank is the best option, because the air is dry.
I have had very good luck with used guns and air pistols. A good used gun can save you a lot of money.
