By Daniel from USA on 2012-03-22 11:16:17 Things I liked:This is really a finely crafted co2 gun...one of the best from Umarex. Great detail and hard to tell its not a powder burner. Plus, it just looks bad-#%! Don't you agree? The co2 loading is easy and all guns should use this system. Very accurate and easy to shoot well. I put the mount on it (see my review on that) and a red dot. So much fun! Good trigger for a double action. Single action is better. Oh and you get a LOT of shots per cartirdge.Things I would have changed:I prefer the glossier finish. I've heard they used to come like that. The sights are not target sights, but what you get is more authentic. I wish the wooden grips weren't so pricey! I can get custom made target grips on the 2240 for less. What others should know:If you're looking to get into these co2 action pistols...this is the one to get. |  |

By Maria from USA on 2012-09-04 19:45:31 Things I liked:The gun feels good to hold and looks awesome. It is accurate. I also like Walther's eight shot rotary clips.Things I would have changed:Well, for an alleged 450 fps I would have expected a little more... power. To make a fair comparison, I have a Walther Nighthawk (400 fps) and a Gamo PT-85 (450 fps). At the same distance where they bury the pellets in a wooden board, this gun barely reaches the target. One side of the handle comes off to allow access to the CO2 cartridge. Getting it off is all fine and dandy, putting it back on, not so much. It'll probably be easier with use, but there HAS to be a better way to do it. What others should know:When I first ordered my Walther CP88, I got a defective one. It shot sometimes, and when it did I could just as well have tossed the pellet by hand. I mean, the pellets traveled maybe three feet and fell to the ground. Pyramyd Air kindly provided me with a return shipping label and I sent it back. I got the replacement today. When I first tried it I thought, "You've gotta be kidding." It shot, but the pellet bounced off a Shoot-n-see target without even peeling off the paint. I tried shooting an empty soda can, and the pellet made the can wiggle a little. It didn't even get a dent. I shot a few clips and the gun perked up a little. Now it manages to make a hole in a soda can. I guess it works, but I definitely expected more. I really like Walther airguns, and I want to like this one too. I will shoot it a little more, but if it doesn't start working better it'll have to go back. |

- Things I liked:Realistic feel, looks and weight. The 6" is very accurate once you set the sights to match your own eyeline. Powerful yet does not eat up your CO2.
Things I would have changed:Trigger pull in double action, Need a good lazer sight that will fit.
What others should know:Outstanding air gun. Easy & fast to load. Buy extra mag.s you won't be sorry. Misfires-few to none. - Things I liked:Weight and feel is close to a powder burner. Nice case.
Things I would have changed:sights
What others should know:Fps with new co2 is 420fps with CPHP. Drops quickly during shooting. Warms up, and good again. - Things I liked:Lots of metal - definitely feels "real". Even with a less-than-rigid front sight assembly, accuracy is slightly better than my Umarex Beretta 92.
Things I would have changed:The double-action trigger is horrible. It seriously stacks at the end of travel ... and sometimes won't fire unless the trigger is released and pulled a 2nd time.
What others should know:If you'll only shoot in single-action mode, you'll probably be happy with the CP88. However, if you want to shoot it in double-action, the trigger will need to be worked by an accomplished smith. - Things I liked:The gun feels good to hold and looks awesome. It is accurate. I also like Walther's eight shot rotary clips.

I will shoot it a little more, but if it doesn't start working better it'll have to go back. - Things I liked:Full metal, Germany Made Quality, the gas cartridge load machnism. It's a great gun
Things I would have changed:If the aiming blade has a white dot it will be perfect
What others should know:buy more mags, u will need them - Things I liked:I'm not an expert. I'm satisfied with my purchase (the CP88 and Pyramid).
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:The CP88 seems to be sturdy. - Things I liked:This is really a finely crafted co2 gun...one of the best from Umarex. Great detail and hard to tell its not a powder burner. Plus, it just looks bad-#%! Don't you agree? The co2 loading is easy and all guns should use this system. Very accurate and easy to shoot well. I put the mount on it (see my review on that) and a red dot. So much fun! Good trigger for a double action. Single action is better. Oh and you get a LOT of shots per cartirdge.
Things I would have changed:I prefer the glossier finish. I've heard they used to come like that. The sights are not target sights, but what you get is more authentic. I wish the wooden grips weren't so pricey! I can get custom made target grips on the 2240 for less.
What others should know:If you're looking to get into these co2 action pistols...this is the one to get. - Things I liked:Excellent pistol from Umarex. Handles very nicely. Perfect weight and balance and well made. Uses the tried and true 8 shot internal rotary mag. Accurate and looks like the real gun from Walther. Get a lot of shots from a single cartridge. Easy to load the co2 and pierce the seal. Holds air indefinitely. This is one of the nicest they make.
Things I would have changed:I prefer the glossier finish. Not quite as accurate as the S&W 686. Finish can be scratched.
What others should know:Looks good with the walnut grips too, if you're willing to give up an arm and a leg for them. I'm thinking of getting the nickel one to make it a pair. - Things I liked:Well made, accurate and feel like real firearm.Easy to load CO2 and ammo.
Things I would have changed:It will be great if next one come out with more power!!!, Love it!!
What others should know:Buy extra Mags!! it eating pallet quickly - Things I liked:Well made. Fit my hand very well. Very accurate up to about 40ft.
Things I would have changed:Clip jams. If you re-center clip it works fine. Nice gun. Very expensive.
What others should know:As you know, CO2 doesn't work well on cold days. This is a fun gun to shoot. - Things I liked:FIT AND FINISH ARE GREAT. LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE A 45. METAL AND HEAVY, LIKE REGULAR GUN.
Things I would have changed:NOTHING, LOVE IT.
What others should know:GOOD ACCURACY WITH 7.9G WADCUTTERS, LIMITED ONLY BY MY SKILL. - Things I liked:New to air guns, but very impressed by this product. Seems very much like the authentic item, with impeccable finish & function. Easy & intuitive to load both CO2 & ammo. Excellent value for the $$. Would not hesitate to acquire another Umarex product in this price category.
Things I would have changed:An accessory rail would be nice, but this is probably not true to the original. - Things I liked:Everything, it is very realistic, well made and accurate. It performed flawlessly right out of the box. If you are thinking about buying an air pistol this should be the one.
Things I would have changed:Tap and drill the frame to accept a standard metal scope rail.
What others should know:I am new to airguns but not handguns. I had low expectations but I was very pleased with the quality of the CP88. I get 88+ shots per CO2 cartridge and have had no mechanical problems. I make my own targets, 16 1" bulls eyes per 8 X 8 target. Using the CP88 and a MRS sight I routinely hit 14 of bulls eyes shooting freehand from 8 meters. I could not be happier. OBW, I shoot indoors and noe of my neighbosrs has complained about the noise - the CP88 is very quiet. - Things I liked:Full Metal!! Pretty close to the real thing and is pretty heavy!! Though not as heavy as the Beretta 92 FS which is a good thing. Trust me on this one!! Best replica air pistol I've bought yet!!
Things I would have changed:The double action is much weaker than the single action. Single action atleast on mine is more powerful than the beretta's.
What others should know:Buy extra mags!!! And mine loves domed pellets! - Things I liked:The CP88 is built with good materials, balance and accuracy is as good as it gets
Things I would have changed:The 8-round magazines are prone to falling and if it was slightly modified could be made to prevent this from occurring.
What others should know:Accuracy is good and the gun is pretty loud compared to other CO2 pistols - Things I liked:Nice clean metal work.Very well made!Easy to load CO2& pellet clip.
Things I would have changed:I added a set of Walther adjustable sights.I would love to have a under barrel laser pointer as the Walther CP99 CO2 has! The 92FS Beretta has one!!!! Hint,hint !!
What others should know:Great value for the BUCK these days. Works great down @ my 10 meter range! - Things I liked:The feel, weight, and balance of the pistol are superior to any gas pistol I have ever used. Accuracy is second to none for a gas pistol in this price range. In short, it is well worth the money.
Things I would have changed:Nothing!
What others should know:The best (most accurate) ammo to use for this pistol is wadcutter. - Things I liked:This is a true hobby grade pistol, built for an enthusiast. Materials are metal where it counts and plastics where it makes sense, like the grip panels. This pistol looks and feels like a firearm and not a department store toy. This is not an inexpensive pistol, but it is an excellent value for the money! There is no reason this will not last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Things I would have changed:This pistol should come equipped with fully adjustable sights instead of the fixed front and drift adjustable rear sight.
What others should know:Out of the box, the rear sight and barrel weight were loose. I attribute this to vibration and/or thermal cycling during shipping. I used the included hex wrenches to tighten both the sight and barrel weight and they have remained tight ever since. This pistol shot well and grouped well, but the rear sight was much too short and the pistol grouped about 2 inches low at 25 feet. I installed the optional Walther adjustable sight package and was able to dial in the elevation properly. I highly recommend installing the adjustable sights to get the most out of this pistol. - Things I liked:This is a beautiful and exciting air pistol that looks and feels like the real firearm. I'm glad I purchased the compensator attachment, it offers more accuracy and FPS. The rotery 8 shot clip is easily placed into the slide opening that is released with a side lever, then simply cocked by pushing the barrel back into place. The CO2 is very easy to load by releasing the left side plastic grip cover, rotating down the simulated magazine lever, and placing the CO2 into it's compartment, followed by rotating the mag lever back up into place. The double action trigger pull is long but easily cocking the hammer back will provide a smooth single action.
Things I would have changed:Really nothing, the pistol is great
What others should know:The CP88 is scopeable by replacing the rear adjustable sight with a Walther Combi rail. This rail is plastic but strong and allows for 11 mm dovetail or weaver style mounts from any scope. I chose the Leaper red/grn DOT scope with a 11mm dovetail mount that works perfect and delivers pinpoint accuracy at 30 or 40 feet. I have several air guns and this is my best and most accurate shooter. I can get about 8 clips of strong shots before the pettets start to drop. The only problem with this gun is that it makes my lesser priced guns stay in their cabinet. - 12

Things I would have changed:The gun functions flawlessly, although a gun with a price tag such as this should have a Fiber Optic sighting system as a must, or as an option in the least,
What others should know:I found that 5 mags(40 power shots) is the norm after that you see a noticeable decrease in m/v, and accuracy. The gun is quite heavy, but it is all metal,and with good care will give you a life time of shooting enjoyment. The plastic foam lined case is nice, and saves you from buying one separately(this is not a gun that you just toss in a drawer after shooting it, If you want to keep the finish looking good, a foam lined case is a must)Use good quality pellets, and never insert a cartridge without polishing the tip and adding a drop of oil to keep the seals lubricated and pliable.I'm not a fan of flat-head pellet's, so I can't recommend any, but this shooter does love it's choice of dome's, I've tried almost every brand out there. RWS Super Dome's, Gamo Hunter's,Crosman Dome's/Field Point's, H&N Field Target, Field Target Tropies, Silouettes, Baracudas, all worked extremely well, but One Brand, thats especially hard to find came out on top,,Kovohute Standards shocked me, I thought I was getting a lot of fliers, and after close inspection found them to be all going through the same hole(this is from a bench-rest @ 15 meters). Not too many pointed pellets to tell you about, most of the ones i have on hand fit fine, but would have a tiny bit of the tip sticking out, or would be flush, and jam somewhere around the 4-5 round.& as I said earlier, Crosman SuperPoints fit the mag's well, and give terrific result's,& @ 7.3gr, they give a decent muzzle velocity of close to 450fps
