target pistols

[el maipino]

Having recently purchased a original model 10 and fwb65 target pistol, I am liking this sort of of pistol. What others are out there?. Looking at NON co2 or PCP to add to my collection.

links or pics appreciated.

Well, you've started with two of the best. How about:

LP53?

If it's from a collecting point of view as much as shooting, there are 3 Italian single stroke pneumatics dating from the early 1980s:

Air Match 400/600/650 series - sidelever cocking, barrel moves forward slightly to allow it to be loaded.

Fiocchi P10 - underlever.

FAS 604 - overlever, similar in general layout to the Gamo Compact.

I'm afraid I don't know much about the production history of these guns, or how common (relatively speaking) they might be in this country, although the FAS 604 sometimes appears for sale in the collectable section.

The Feinwerkbau LP100 is a beautiful long pistol, single stroke pneumatic with lots of power - 5.4 ft/lbs and the usual FWB build quality, superb trigger and barrel etc.

Hammerli Master or Hammerli Single if you like something a bit older, very nice. The Master has a type of regulator on it for the CO2.

The Walther LP2 and LP3 very good quality, hard to cock though.

The FAS AP 604 was still available new just last year from BAR. I bought one and love shooting it (Badly)

Does the LP100 really produce that amount of power ??

Mine made 5 ft/lbs with lightweight H&N Match High Speed pellets, so 5.5 with heavier pellets would seem reasonable. It is a very long pistol with a long pump-stroke and a long barrel, its well engineered and power in top match pistols was part of their bid to be more accurate as the pellet spends less time in the barrel, so is less affected by the shooter's post trigger release wobble.

Why not a Baikal izh-46m.Its a lovely pistol
