FWB FWB P85 Multi Shot

[Gwelo]

Emailed FWB as to their new P85 about a week ago. Response below.

Both Champion's Choice and Pilkington's told me they would NOT be carrying the pistol. Sales @ Pyramyd Air knew nothing about it but said they would inquire and get back to me, nothing yet. Krale (Netherlands) said the same thing. Couldn't get ahold of Oberle and Buck Parson is the gunsmith for Pilk's so didn't try.

The only pricing I recall was 2600 Euros which would be about $2800. That was from a gun writer and can't remember who/when. Seems quite high as the Steyr LP50 is about $2200. Time will tell, hope it's lower.
Evidently they will offer two power levels, similar to Steyr.

Anyone heard anything else? Comments welcome.


Thank you for your inquiry dated March 22, 2024.

The five-shot compressed air pistol model P 85 will be available to order from April 1, 2024. Our website will probably be supplemented with the new articles over the Easter weekend or in the coming week.

The first models are expected to be ready in June 2024. Due to the high level of interest in this model, delivery times may be longer at the beginning.

I will be happy to send you the order sheet for the model P 85 as an attachment so that you can already put together the desired configuration for an inquiry.

Damn, that was a steep price, if that's true. I was hoping for something close to or somewhat below the price of the LP50. But that means I can probably be shooting a P85 throughout the fall. If the price isn't TOO steep...

well the pistol is a year late already

3D printed grip! Really?

Glad that I don't have more money than sense...

 

[marflow 777]

not printed, it is 3D shaped grips they more than like can be rotated for your hand position
this is the write up about the P8X grips that are wood

The position of the 3-D moulded grip can be adjusted from the outside using adjusting screws without having to remove the grip from the gun.

it is odd that a pistol which would be based on the P 8X would be this far behind and they have been making 5 shot pistols for years and i would think that would not be a problem but here you are with pistol that is far behind on a release date or maybe it was cancelled

Not 3D printed. 3D means it is adjustable in 3 directions, plus the adjustability of the palm rest.

But that said, FWB do offer a hideously ugly grip they call MeshPro that looks like something 3D printed...

 

[marflow 777]

well the black synthetic grip would light and might look ugly but could feel good in the hand

I've been in contact with Bjorn, sales rep with Krale, trying to get pricing/delivery info on the P85. He has been in contact with FWB and received a "Configurator" which needs to be itemized before final price can be established. Problem is neither of us can make it work, half the time it comes back with the dreaded Error 404! The rest of the time it locks up while making selections. Give it a try and see if it works for you.

https://www.feinwerkbau.de/en/products/air-pistols/fwb-p-85

I did learn that prices start at 2350 Euro which includes 19% VAT (Euro customers only) so US price would start at 1975 Euro which is currently $2143 so not so bad I guess! I would think that price would include a basic pistol with 2 cylinders, grip and a mag or two but not sure.

The "Configurator" choices include:

Barrel length: 177mm or 255mm (7 or 10"), power output: 7.5 or 11 Joule

Version: Standard Freehand or Benchrest

Grip: Walnut, Laminate and the black one shown above, L or R hand in various sizes.

Magazine(s): 5 shot and Single shot training mag

Attachments: Not sure what the choices are here.

Laminate grip.

Well, now the configurator is working, but the price... I just bought a Steyr EVO 10e, so the P85 will have to wait for a while...

 

[Helmet]

Mine is finally on it's way. It should arrive in a couple of weeks. FWB took their time with the P85, but hopefully it's good and worth the wait.

 

[Gwelo]

That’s pretty exciting! Anxious to hear all about it!
Where did you order it from and how did you configure it?
They don’t seem to be available in the US, even Krale doesn’t list them.

 

[Helmet]

I have been "nagging" the Norwegan dealer for the last 18 months, so now that FWB is starting to distribute the P85, I'm among the first in line to get one. But I guess both Krale and other dealers soon will list them in their shops too.
I'm getting the full length, 7.5 Joule pistol with laminated grip.

 

[Gwelo]

That should be a great shooter!
Have they determined pricing on spare magazines and air cylinders? Does it come with 2 cylinders?
Wonder if the cylinder is the same as the P8X.

 

[Helmet]

I haven't seen any pricing on the spare magazines yet, but the cylinder is the same as the P8X.
It comes in a case (similar to the case the P8X comes in) with two cylinders, one 5-shot magazine and one 1-shot magazine.
And if the rumors are true, the trigger is on par with the P8X.

 

[Gwelo]

Just to bump this up I used the configurator and chose both 2 and 3 magazines with the difference being 40 euro. That includes 19% euro tax so probably in the $35 range. That would put them in the same price range as mags for the Steyr LP50 purchased from Krale.
Helmet: Any update?

 

[Helmet]

Estimated delivery is in two days (Tuesday 17th).

 

[Helmet]

Picked up the P85 today. I haven't had the time to try it out yet, except for training mode. Hopefully I can give it a proper test on Thursday.
The trigger needs some adjustment before it gets anywhere near what I'm used to, the first stage is way too light for my liking.
But that's just adjustments...

 

[Gunnertrones]

NYDELIG KURT!!

 

[Kim]

Cool!

Questions if you would:

1. How does the magazine advance? Trigger pull? Air power?
2. Is there air release with dry fire?

THanks! Kim
