New Walther lbp?

24" and less, a place to discuss all things handgun related, section 7.3. Long barrelled revolvers, long barrelled pistols and section 5. Overseas contributions are more than welcome.

They should have been proofed in Germany .

If it has UK proofs on it ...................... I would ask why .

I believe from a quick search on Facebook this relates to "Oceania Defence"

Nice to see more competition in the LBP market in the UK, however it looks like they literally stuck a tube on the front for the barrel and a coat hanger on the rear.....

and messing around with their shop page, you can add options such as

Machined slide to accept a red dot
Round Faux Suppressor

add those to the basic price and your up to £1041.

personally think it looks better with a faux suppressor rather than the tube for a barrel.

I was on the verge of ordering one, but, after looking at the reviews of the non-LBP version the sleeved barrel put me off.

Mine is having a ported barrel and faux supressor so will need proofing over here.
