Page 2 of 3 - Walther WALTHER CP99 BLACK Reviews

Very compact, and fits my hand well. This gun has a very solid feel. It weighs in at 1 lb 13 oz (including the laser & CO2 cartridge). My chrony tests showed 70 consistent shots followed by 10 pretty good shots from one CO2 cartridge. Average for the 70 was 367 fps, with a sigma of 10.5. This was with slow shooting, 30 seconds between shots, using RWS Diabolo Basic ammo (7.2 grains). Accuracy is respectable for an multi-shot action pistol like this one. The average group radius is 0.36 inches at 10 meters. The laser is easy to adjust, and stays on-target well. It is probably too dim for bright outdoor use, but works well indoors. It turns on with a little switch on the right side. The laser uses two 357/303 batteries, which should be good for about 5 hours continuous use. So don't forget to turn the laser off when not in use.

The trigger in single action mode has a really long, heavy pull to it. It's still fun to shoot quickly in this mode, but accuracy suffers a bit. It would be nice if Umarex could improve this feature. Their S&W 586, for example, has a smoother single action trigger.

Finding the right pellet type to fit the internal round 8-shot magazine is important. The manual recommends wadcutters or round nose, NOT pointed (to prevent jamming). In addition, not all pellets seem to fit right in the little holes. Some are slightly smaller, and fit loosely, which can cause a jam. Some fit so snugly you need a tool to press them fully into place (e.g., the RWS Hobby).

I like everything the looks, power, weight and accuratecy of this pistol.I like the fact that I can drop out the co2 mag and put it in my pocket to worm it up. All this and it come with a laser on it, Very cool.

Not a thing !!!!!!

I did have to adjust rear sight, but thats no big thing. This gun is so accurate that I shot 4, 8 round rotory clips through the bullseye at 20 feet with the sights alone,(NO LASER).Oh I did have 1 flyer top right. I purchaced this CP99 with laser and saved a few $$$, it also comes with a extra back plate to change the size of the grip. All I can say is everything about this pistol is GREAT, I Love it! Not only a great buy , but Great pistol !!!!!!!!

Fun gun to shoot. Fairly accurate too. Looks great. Fit and finish are fine.

Nothing at all.

First few shots are hard. Sometimes (but not often) a pellet will get knocked loose and the magazine won't rotate.

The look is as real as any quality reproduction. The feel is even better, with heft and comfort of the real firearm. The CO2 in the grip and the release are well integrated. Accuracy with single stage trigger is good and more importantly, consistent. Laser is easily dialed in to zero, and holds position very well. I can do 8-shot groups about the size of a quarter at 10 yards. I get about 50-60 good shots per cartridge.

It would be great to have blowback to cock it for single stage shooting. The CP99 Compact does this, that feature would make this pistol perfect. The sights match pretty closely to the real firearm, which is not a target pistol; meant for close quarters defensive or offensive use. The sights are well suited to that level of accuracy, but not at all suitable for precision bulldoze shooting.

Double stage is hard, kills accuracy. Single stage is however, very good. Some people seem confused, this pistol has no blowback, so semi-auto is only with the lousy double action. For single action, it must be cocked with every shot. Laser is low power, good indoors and shade, but not easily visible in sunlight. It is a joy to shoot, highly recommended.

The overall look and feel of the gun. It's very, very close to the real Walther p99.

The plastic magazine release (I am always afraid it's going to snap off.) It would also be nice, that whenever you slide the magazine fully home, that the release would go back to it's original position (without you having to 'click' it back in place.)

By and large, this is a pretty darn nice pistol, and well worth the money.

This is a hefty realistic looking version of the real firearm and feels the same in my hands. The accuracy is increased with the laser and when dialed in, it can consistantly shoot within the size of a quarter at 30'. The hand grip can be easily changed for a larger hand with the extra grip cover that is included.

Make the double action an easier trigger pull and not so stiff.

This is a double or single action pistol and is somewhat difficult to pull the trigger in double action. The single action is smooth but requires the slide to be pulled back first, requiring some mucle power in your hand to pull the slide back. I get about 70 shots per co2 then the accuracy really drops. Overall I think the gun is awesome but not a beginner person pistol.

I have already written a review about this gun, but would like to update it. Again, I am very excited about this air pistol. I recieved a replacement for the lazer that was broken upon shipment and have sighted it in with the walther lazer. AMAZING. I have a basement range and have consistantly put nickel size groups together regularly! The foot range is 21' but I have done some at 30', no difference. I use beretta wad cutters and Crossman light premium and have no problems. I do, HOWEVER, have a pellet unseat from the magazine upon the initial first few rounds from a new CO2 cartridge. The power is significant initially and blows the pellets away from the magazine causing a rotational jam of the magazine occasionally. I know this happens, so I am aware of it, only on the first few shots from a new CO2.

There is really nothing I would change on this gun. It is a good as it gets. If blow-back was added, then the power would suffer, therefore, I am happy with no blowback. I have the real iron in .40 cal, so no extra realism is necessary for me on the pellet item!

This is one of the finest air pistols in CO2 that I own. It beats just about everything in my safe, Walther CP88, Beretta mod. 92 and the Beretta PX4-storm.

Finally!!! An airgun that I have been waiting for! I have several quality air pistols, CP99compact, Beretta PX, Walther CP88, etc. but this one beats them all! I love it. Quality metal frame and slide, magazines with CO2 cartridge, pellet mags of metal, DECOCKER, interchangeable back strap, SMOOTH trigger action and a safety that ACTUALLY isn't a nightmare to use. This is the best of the bunch folks! I haven't tried sighting it in with the lazer yet, because the lazer was broken in shipping. I did try another Sig Sauer lazer on it and it is Very accurate. Since it has metal sites that are not adjustable, the lazer is the only option for accurate shooting/plinking. This gun will be enjoyed for many years to come---note: no jams either!!

The box, as has been noted by others, is not of the quality as the pistol. The Walter CP88 has the best box, but of course, is more costly gun. I don't like all the white writing on the right side of the pistol!

This is a QUALITY air gun and would be a great addition to any collection. If I had only one from my collection to keep, this would be it. That's saying a lot, since I have 100's of $$$ in air pistols. Purchase this one on my recommendation and you won't be sorry.

The gun has a good feel and weight to it. The accuracy of each shot is pretty good, but drastically drops when you're low on CO2. The laser accessory is a great add-on that is straight on accurate if adjusted properly.

I would want the carrying case to be bigger and the foam inside of the case to be the egg carton type of foam that are found in most other cases.

This is definitely a quality product and you can tell the moment you load and fire your first shots. I would highly suggest that anyone purchasing this gun, get additional rotary magazines and CO2 magazines for continuous fun without having to spend a lot of time reloading.

Great looking pistol. Laser easily attatches/detatches without tools. Sighted in nicely and holds lock. Great design to fire it double or single action. The mags are made of metal !!! Co2 loading system is superb and adds to the realism of the pistol.

Only the case it comes in.

This pistol screams Walther quality. Very smooth action that is a joy to shoot. I found the battery cover a bit difficult to replace once the batteries were installed on the laser sight. The case it comes with is pretty small. There is barely enough room to store extra pellet mags. There is no room for an extra Co2 mag. Very small problems for what is a great pistol. You will not be dissapointed.
