Walther Lp400

Hi All

Just wandering if anyone has seen these used in anger yet? I know Walther aren't usually the best at keeping to release dates, but I thought these were due out to the general public a few months ago, or is it just those 'in the know' that have been given the chance to have the first few production ones.

Just interested really to see how they are performing, if at all yet

Yes it is available for the general public. I have also seen several sold on Egun, some new, some used.

It seems the delivery delay can be relatively big. Do know why, if it is due to too big demand or due to low amount produced ?

Given my past knowledge of Walther's production, I think that much of their efforts go (rightly economically) into the larger orders for police and army weapons, so production capacity for air pistol and rifle is relatively low - I am surprised there are secondhand ones already - is that a telling tale already?

You see almost any model of AP sold used on Egun. Many very little used.

AP are free -> many people buy one and discover that 10m AP is very demanding and require a lot of effort and training to learn really shoot well -> many AP resold very little used.

The Walther LP400 is a new and beautifull pistol, so it attracts buyers.

I saw one at ISS about 6 weeks ago. It was the first one that had come in. He has/had others on order as well

The Australian importer is hoping to have all four models at the Melbourne Shot Show next weekend. I also am looking forward to handling this new model, and forming a first impression.

Looks great Alex. Did you order the second cylinder separately, as I was informed that they were shipped with only one ?

Yes. I ordered a spare cylinder.
It only ships with one cylinder.

May i ask how much did the pistol cost along with the additional cylinder.

I paid $1595 for the pistol plus $182 for the extra cylinder.

What made it more difficult was that I knew this was not the first time I had let such a moment pass. When Daniel was five, I took him to the school-bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. I felt tiffany silver jewelry,Gucci Clutches,cheap tiffany rings the tension in his hand holding mine as the bus turned the corner. I saw colour flush his cheeks as the bus pulled up. He looked at me-as he did now.
