Overview
The Walther LP300 is a single-shot, pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) 10-metre match air pistol chambered in .177 (4.5 mm) for ISSF Olympic-discipline air pistol competition. It feeds from a removable aluminium air cylinder charged to 200 bar with an integrated pressure gauge, and offers a finely adjustable two-stage match trigger (sear engagement, travel, position and pull weight), an adjustable rear sight with interchangeable front-sight widths, and a configurable target grip. Produced from 2001 to 2008, it was the predecessor to Walther's LP400 line.
