Hammerli AP20 Pro?

I would like to know if anyone has tested the AP 20 Pro?
What parts that are common to the LP 400?
Since it is a new AP what is the expected reliability in the long run?
Thanks

Not much the same as an LP400 as far as I know. Maybe only the grip and cylinder.
To be honest, I don't rate the AP20, you would be better off with a used LP400 or LP300, or Steyr or Morini or Pardini.

The Haemmerli AP20 Pro is a modified AP20, with the wooden grip from the Walther LP400. Which means: better grip as the AP20 (polymer grip), but no longer ambidextrous. It also has a longer tank with integrated manometer, but parallel under the barrel. The angled mount (after turning the triangle housing) would still be possible, but then the AP would no longer fit into the ISSF proof case (or whatever this is called in English...) - this only works with the short tank of the normal AP20.
