Very nice review, thank you for sharing all these details! Last year I bought a Feinwerkbau Modell 2 air pistol (CO2 model, in mint condition) off a fellow club member, I'm extremely impressed with the 40+ year old technology. The trigger mechanism is still top notch and even though CO2 as a propellant is slightly more cumbersome because of the refilling process (no gauge, you need to weigh the cilinder, and there has to be at least 20 degrees of temperature difference between the cold pistol cilinder and warm bulk bottle) the pistol is definitely more accurate than I can hold. Speed is super consistent too, always an important factor. Glad to see the Czech athlete Pavel Schejbal use one of the FWB P8X models, the pistol should get more exposure, it deserves it. Greetings from the Netherlands!
I have 6 of the 14 guns listed.....LOVE them all.....the 80 is incredibly accurate and in immaculate condition. The other favourites are the P30 and P44....but ALL are incredible air pistols!
Good morning! I was going to train now in the morning and a Pellet came in the opposite way... of some beatings on the P44 and when I went to shoot I wouldn't shoot! I tried to activate the cocking and nothing, it didn't come to the end and suddenly fired two shots... I went to see from the absorber to the manual and turned to the right the screw before was before the 3mm! It was good! Was it really a hame to absorber? Thank you
Thank for this very complete and informative review. I have just one question. Can the cocking lever be moved to the right side for left handed shooters? Thank you!
Can you help me? I was going to practice this morning and the Pellet enter backwards! I shake a litle and take a litle beats to come out and next when im gonna shoot it wont shoot and past a few seconds shot alone! I think it could be the absorber and pull the lever up ao turn the screw to the rigth just a litle! Take a few shot and then works normaly! Is a P44! Do you think is was the absorber? Thank you
Excellent review ;) Between a Tesro pa10 pro and this fein P8X theris amost 400 € less for the tesro. Do you think this P8x is the best choice for the price ? you have it since 6 months what do you feel now ? any trouble ? do you improve your results. Thank you
i think the P8X it;s worth the 400euro more. i think the p8x it the best choice for mechanical triggers. i do think that if you have the money, it's worth to get a CM200 with electronic trigger. i love my p8x. it feels very good, no problems at all... but the results did not improve significantly :)
@@ArmeVechi thank you for your quick and honest answer. I discover air pistol 8 months ago with a baikal mp46. When a friend share a tesro it was wonderful, so now i want to have my own match pistol and the choice is difficult because at this price no buying error is possible.
Hello! How are you? I have a P44 I récrives from christmas 2024 but is the was a gift from my brother and with her in one year and one or two months in Shooting Sports in 1/31/2024 i reach 503 points and úntil today 516! Before I had a FWB 103 for 2022 christmas! I have a question about the ABSORBER I didn't understand that of the 3mm and 6mm of the manual! When I shoot the pistol on the piston behind the Pellet a metal appears in the hole that when cocking the sticker I see between the grip and the rear sigth a piece that retreats when I raise the lever and advances when low, but if I shoot I don't see anything coming back! This without taking the grip or disassembling anything and seeing through the groove... is the absorber inside? Thank you! Grateful
Hi there, Can I ask a quick question about the cylinder? Do you have difficulty to get the cylinder screwed on? Recently, my friend bought a P8X. But he found the cylinder is really hard to screw on and off. It’s ludicrous tight. I did some research on TargetTalk and saw someone says because feinwerkbau use one piece aluminium to build the cylinder, so the thread doesn’t like others stainless steel. So it’s a bit hard to screw on because aluminium is ductile material. But can apply some grease to make the work easier.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah probably the best way to rectify the tight fit is putting grease on the threads at the first place. Maybe my friends has already damaged or tweaked as he didn’t know it needs the grease. Thanks again.
Did you see the guy with the superiority that I sent a comment saying that I had a FWB 103 and that I reached 492 points with it and that I had it at Christmas 2022 that was when I started shooting and that a week with the FWB P44 that I received at Christmas 2023 the two offers from my brother I made 494 points and he said that it was very little that in the first Match he made 519 points and after two months 550? Because on 31/012024 I reached 503 points and so far I have reached in training 28 times making a maximum of 516 and 502 and 511 in the club! Because I would like to know how someone without technique and practice scores 519 points in the first test and 550 after two months? This you can see right away that it's a lie because not even the WORLD champion WAS LIKE THIS!!!
Thank you for an excellent presentation. You have made my mind up - my next purchase will definitely be a FWB P8X.
Thank you for this channel and focus on Olympic competition pistols

no. i don;t know of any airpistol that offers that feature..
@@ArmeVechi yeah, so I had to go with the lp500 blue angel instead.
You can swap the cocking lever over on the Hammerli AP20 pro range for left hand use.
@@32dooscoop I got the walther lp500 blue angel instead. Very happy with it.
@@TheBoldHairspring I'm looking to upgrade this year. The LP500 is one I will be checking out, thanks.
👍😊
Thank's for this video. Have you a reference for the compressor adaptator to charge the little pistol bottle ?
you mean where to get a fill adapter?
you can buy from here: buinger.com/Feinwerkbau-Fill-Adapter-Set-Compressed-Air
@@ArmeVechi OK . Super. Thank’s

Can we dry fire with p8x without releasing air.
yes. there is a button for that. watch the video

yes. that's the absorber. it goes rearwards when the pellet goes forwards.
@@ArmeVechi i try shoot and look and it doesnt move backwards!!! If move I can not see! How I know is well ajusted?
Thank you

Hi! One question, the mark of the air cilinder, is the date of fabrication of expiration?? And how much they last?
hi. yes there is a mark of fabrication date (year and quarter). they last a long time, but the safe legal usage is 10 years.
@@ArmeVechi nice so mine says IV/19 means april of 2019, so I have cilinder until 2029 right?
@@didactech28 IV/19 would mean 4th quarter of 2019. so...october-december.
but yeah, the cylinder it ok until the end of 2029
@@ArmeVechi thank you so much! This is an amazing air pistol!

i put FWB grease on the threads as soon as i got the pistol. the cylinder screws on and off very smoothly
