PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Machine translated

SPA Artemis LP400 is a single-shot pistol with an integrated piston, ideal for plinking or target shooting at 10 to 15 metres. In addition to lead pellets, it does not require any additional accessories such as CO2 cartridges or filling with a compressor or pump. At first glance, its inspiration by the iconic Colt 1911 pistol is obvious.

Operating principle

Cocking the hammer unlocks the slide; tilt it open and insert a pellet into the rifled barrel in the slide. By closing the slide, the gas piston is compressed, so the pistol works similarly to a break-barrel air rifle. Once the slide is locked, the pistol is ready to fire.

Vzduchová pistole SPA LP400 text

The single-action trigger is very light and sensitive. The rear sight is adjustable for windage, and under the barrel there is a 22 mm Weaver rail for mounting a flashlight or laser.

The pistol is made with a metal frame with a black finish, and the grip panels are plastic.

I wouldn't recommend considering it a piece of target-shooting equipment; its accuracy and consistency are clearly lacking. However, it’s perfectly fine for just having fun shooting at cans or little monster targets. That said, it’s no match for the Weihrauch 40 or Beeman 17—let alone the Weihrauch 75.

This is not a sports publication—it is for entertainment only. If you already own a 6mm GBB pistol—like a Marui Glock—there is no point in buying this Artemis. The accuracy will be the same, but you’ll get far more enjoyment, accuracy, and range out of a gas-powered Glock. Plus, using a quality 6mm pistol will be cheaper in terms of ammo costs.

Immediately after purchase, you need to remove the grip panels and lubricate all the trigger mechanism joints with molybdenum grease. Let the entire mechanism run so that the parts can break in a little. Once that is done, the pistol shoots accurately enough to rival the Weihrauch HW40 and even slightly outperform the Crosman 1377.

Would I buy it a second time? Probably yes—I’m handy with tools. I’ve done custom work on plenty of airguns and firearms, so as a project piece for applying one's skills and know-how, this Artemis 400 is a decent option. But as a pistol to take straight out of the box and start training with? Unfortunately, no.

  • It is quite comfortable to pump—significantly easier than the Weihrauch 40 and Beeman 17 !!! Even a 7- or 8-year-old child can handle it.
  • It feels more compact and solid in the hand. It gives the impression of being a single, cohesive unit rather than a jumble of loosely assembled, rattling parts.
  • The sound is very quiet—it’s perfectly fine for shooting at home at a distance of 7–8 meters.
  • It’s funny, but bullets can be reused—provided you have a soft bullet trap. Many bullets hardly deform at all.
  • It handles light (0.47g), medium (0.51g), and heavier (0.67g) pellets equally well. Shooting with the heavier pellets feels slightly more satisfying—there is a sensation of slight muzzle flip, giving the impression that the pistol isn't just making a quiet click but is actually firing.
  • It’s very convenient to take along for shooting outdoors. However, keep in mind that the bullets are made of lead and aren't exactly eco-friendly.
  • The weight is comfortable for a woman or a teenager, and the handle is comfortable even for someone with large hands.
  • The overall build quality is quite neat.
  • The pistol's balance—(balance is not the center of gravity)—is superb. It is better than that of Weihrauch and Beeman models.
  • The trigger button pinches your finger at both the top and the bottom. Compression is inconsistent, and lubrication doesn't help; as a result, the muzzle velocity fluctuates by as much as 15 meters per second.
  • The accuracy is on par with BB pistols.
  • The trigger pull is terrible. Worse than on cheap 6mm toy pistols.
  • The front sight is 3.8 mm thick!!! What genius made the rear sight notch 2.8 mm wide while the front sight is 3.8 mm? I had to file the sides of the front sight down to 2.5 mm and then paint it with matte gun enamel. Now, at least, the front sight is actually visible inside the rear sight notch.
  • Lubricating it is extremely inconvenient, as it is more difficult to disassemble than the Beeman 17 and Weihrauch 40.
  • It is simply impossible to use without filing down the front sight, shimming the barrel, or performing complex, constant lubrication to maintain compression.

I have a similar one from Gamo and Beeman, but I fell in love with this one.

  • Affordable price, nice appearance, accurate thanks to the fluted barrel and fine trigger.

It’s quite a big gun, great fun for the garden, no filling needed, you just need pellets and you shoot, accuracy is fine. You can shoot at 5 m, costs around 50 CZK.
