Hello Will,
Although I've not owned a 90, I can relate some second-hand impressions gleaned from my friends at a German shooting club
that I am a member of. The overall impression is that the 90's trigger really isn't any better than what came before, and is only
moderately reliable. Not all of the gunsmiths are willing to work on them, or even know how. That, plus the fact that the
batteries aren't easy to find (may be different in the US) make the 90 a seldom-seen pistol.
I would certainly like to have one to add to my collection of 10m weapons, but I certainly wouldn't make a 90 my main shootin'
iron (sorry, I'm from Texas...)unless I could get one at a really decent price.
hth,
Phil Reedy

I owned one years ago, a friend of mine still owns one. Best trigger I have ever had on any gun
including several other FWBs (C20 x2, P30), High Standard firearms including a Bob Shay 10X.
The batteries are a little difficult to find, but most of the larger camera shops stock them.
Otherwise its a model 65.

I've had a FWB 90 for more than 10 years, shot it in competition for about 3 years, and although I shoot other cas and airguns
now, the FWB 90 is still a favorite. Trigger is great, I've had no problems at all re: batteries, and reliability has been tops (should
be -- it's just a 65/80 with an electronic trigger). Buy one, shoot it, keep it even when you move on to something that cocks
easier., . . they didn't make many of these.
still holds its own accuracy-wisethr
