Walther LP52 air pistol
These are the views on the above of an experienced pistol shooter remembering his previous ownership of an example. Now long gone these, his, words are now 45 years old so unfortunately there is no chance of getting him to confirm, unless someone has a ouija board. The source is good and can reasonably be taken as proof that at least three existed in the UK. These are the shooters words.
"The only modern pistol whose looks I like. It has a reputation for accuracy. In this I was disappointed; it was the most erratic pistol I ever handled. It's power was erratic even with sized Diablo pellets and friends to whom I lent it all agreed with this facet, though one person was surprised as he had found his to be good. I sent it back to be overhauled but it was little better then. Also the backsight broke- a cheap alloy casting.. The ball to retain the sight came out. So I finally got rid of it. It also had a vicious kick that cut and bruised your hand under the overhang of the grip. In short my model was rubbish!
(I know a man who only shoots this pistol. With it he can call his shots and do remarkable things. Amongst his mods. are to trim the overhand. The unusual recoil puts my shots high with his pistols.
