FWB FWB 65

The 65 and Izzy are two pretty awesome pistols! Years ago, I made the choice which to keep and went with the FWB. Which I still love, mind you - but now really wish I'd just hung on to the IZH, too. 🙁

If you're an old cuss with creaky joints like me, here's a trick for cocking the FWB springers. The traditional method is: hold it upright - grab lever overhand - pull sideways, like so:

But I find it's much easier on wrists and elbows to: hold it palm up - grab lever underhand - pull up, ta dahh:

Lefty here with a righty FWB , I actually hold the body of the gun in my right hand and pull the lever with my left "flatening" the gun open across my chest . Very easy leverage .
