Grizzly Ranger/Artemis LP400 Pneumatic Pellet Pistol

 


I have a soft spot for inexpensive, low power pellet pistols, and so when I saw an Ad asking $30 for this nearly new air pistol on a buy&sell website,  I bought it without a second thought.


I would prefer the .22 cal model, with its muzzle velocity of 210 fps, but this .177 cal shooting up to 270 fps will still be fine for some discreet, living room plinking & chronograph testing.


This is the type of air pistol that really benefits from Crosman's lead-free lightweight 5.4 grain pellets. They are a great choice of non-toxic pellet for indoor shooting, and the low powered airguns usually perform much better with these, than with heavier lead pellets.


It does look like an M1911.
