Notes
Sometimes erroneously catalogued as an Anschutz product; the LP400 is manufactured by Carl Walther. Anschutz produces match air rifles but not the LP400 air pistol.
Background
The LP400 succeeded Walther's earlier LP300 and became one of the dominant pistols in Olympic and ISSF 10-metre air pistol events, prized for its low felt disturbance and infinitely adjustable ergonomics.
