I've had the FWB P85 for several weeks now, and made some direct comparisons with the Steyr LP50. The trigger on the P85 is slightly better than the LP50 trigger and has more options for adjustment. On the other hand, it is possible to remove the trigger unit on the LP50, and if you have several...

I got an answer now. -> "The GK1 V1, V2 and V3 were all made/designed/produced at the same time and the only differences between the V1 & V3 are that the V3's loading lever is the opposite way round (better for left handed shooters) and the internals are made of lesser quality materials."...

Ok. That's interesting information. Perhaps not very reassuring though. But it's good that they're changing the version designation, so it's possible to navigate around the changes. Will do. :)

As luchtbuks.com was the ones who brought this to the table, I have dropped them an e-mail asking for what improvements the "+" implies.

What sparked my curiosity was this picture posted below. It is clearly marked V3+. And then I started looking around for information about what describes the different versions, without finding anything in particular. That's why I asked if anyone could tell me what the different versions entail.

I have no idea, that's why I asked what the different versions entail, in post #98.

No, it's an internally improved GK1 https://luchtbuks.com/en/new-version-huben-gk1-v3

I see Huben have released a GK1 V3+ now. What exactly are the actual differences between the V1, V2, V3 and the V3+ ?

Thanks for good ideas. I already have a Weaver rail coming in the mail, and an idea for the design. ;)

That's one way to go. From the center line of the block to the lever there is a little over 10.5mm available. I'm working on a solution with a Weaver rail that is narrow in the area where the lever is, and extends a distance forward over the barrel. I have a hope that this will work out and look...

Yes, that's the grip for my P8X. The postal service was rough when they handled the package with the P85, so a small piece of the wood on the grip had come loose and the rear sight holder was a little bent when I got it. So I'm waiting for a new grip and rear sight holder. Luckily the rear sight...

Then I think the smartest thing you can do is try to get a second hand LP50. If you don't like it, you can sell it for the same price you bought it for. And as Gwelo mentions, you can get trigger units with different trigger weights, several types of grips and Weaver-type mounts for the LP50...

The Steyr LP50 trigger isn't bad. It just isn't quite as good as the best triggers on single shot pistols. Personally I have no problems using the LP50 for precision target shooting. I might loose a few points in a 60-shot match, but it won't be a dramatic difference. The best thing would be if...

No. I have a couple of those. I'm looking for a small, light weight, open red dot sight.

The P85 is a direct competitor to the Steyr LP50, intended for ISSF 10m 5-shot air pistol programs, and as a training option for reasonable volume training for rimfire and centerfire programs. In terms of power, no ISSF 10m air pistols are made with power in mind, they are designed to be easy...

I wrote: but I might be tempted to go higher if that is necessary. ;) Thanks. I'll look into both! I'm pragmatic and like to follow the "spend more, buy once"-principle, rather than "buy cheap, buy twice". 👍

The rail measures 11.6mm across the top, a little wider than the standard 11mm rail. And as you can see from the picture below, it can be done, but not the best fit and the mount must be place far back to make sure the cocking lever can be operated. As for the shroud, it can be removed and you...

Interesting. Thanks. 👍 However, I still seek recommendations for small red dot sights with parallax set to 9 yards/10 meters. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

I have been looking for a suitable open red dot sight for a while now, to put on an ISSF 10m match pistol (Steyr LP50). But I am struggling to find something that meets my requirements. I want something that is small in size, has a red dot of 2 moa (or max 3), with parallax set to 9 yards/10...

It depends on which version of the LP50 we are talking about. The HP runs out of air rather quickly. 😳
