Page 2 - Walther CP99 Compact with Laser Reviews

This is a wonderfully rendered reproduction of the Walther P99 Compact. It has the proper weight and heft and points beautifully, just like the original. Overall quality is superb. The laser sighting device is easily zeroed, and easily removed and reinstalled. The gun shoots with real "punch!'

Past about 10-20 feet, accuracy is downright poor, with each BB curving off (way off!) the line of sight. This pistol's larger brother, the CP99, is (in comparison) a serious piece of weaponry, shooting pellets very accurately through a rifled barrel. The CP99 does give up some of the handiness of the Compact, having a long trigger pull and only an eight round capacity.

Value for the money is excellent! Especially nice is the trigger and blowback action, making the pistol behave very much like the original. I have to highly recommend this one!

This gun is great! It looks and feels real. I love how the action locks when the magazine runs out. The gun is very strong, which adds to it's authentic look. And the laser is very strong. This gun is also amazingly cheap!

Love the gun.. already have a review written by me ( G). This is an amendmant to what I just found out about the laser sight and how I fixed it.

The laser sight on some guns shipped from Walther have the locking bar installed BACKWARDS. When you look at the laser sight attachment, the angle of locking bar SHOULD FACE towards the rear of the sight. If your laser attachment is loose when you slide it on the gun, that means you got one that the locking bar was installed BACKWARDS.

If you get a laser attachment that is not snug on your gun when you slide it on and moves back and forth easily, the locking bar that is spring loaded is BACKWARDS. Some people use tape or some means of keeping it on but this is not necessary !!!! All you need to do is get a small phillips head screwdriver. Take the batteries out and you will see a small phillips head screw. Unscrew it and pull out the battery holder a bit. Then look down inside (with a flashlight) and you will see ( 2 ) more small phillips head screws that you must remove (preferably with a magnetized phillips head screwdriver). This will allow you to take out the entire apparatus. Then you slide out the locking bar and turn it around :) Re-assemble the apparatus as you took them out, replace the screws, and you have just fixed your laser attachment to lock on to your gun as it was designed :) Takes about 10 minutes :)

The gun is VERY well built and extremely fun to shoot. i love the blowback functionality as it gives the gun some kick and a more realistic feeling when shooting. You are able to shoot very fast with this gun and the trigger pull is very minimal which helps speed and accuracy. I get about 60-70 shots out of a 12gram CO2 and loading the bb's in the magazine is easy:) Get extra magazines as all you have to do is drop your empty one out and slide a full one is. This is one of the most fun pistols to shoot for around $100 and totally worth the money.

THE LASER SETUP:( The laser is excellent quality, BUT, it is WAY too loose on the gun and virtually worthless except for looks. It slides around and will actually fall off the gun after some shots. EVERYONE has issues with this if you read all reviews from here and other web sites. If you are willing to modify it somehow and you have access to MacGyver for help, it may work out but I have yet to figure out a good way to make it solid on the gun. TOTALLY WORTHLESS accessory and I would have purchased the package WITHOUT the laser. I own the Walther CP99 Pellet pistol and the laser is dead on and very solid on the gun, so, it's VERY unfortunate that Walther made this laser accessory so worthless on the CP99 Compact. Buy the gun WITHOUT THE LASER. I warned ya :)

The gun is very accurate (for a bb pistol) but when using the sights the gun will seem to shoot high. It seems to be sighted in with the fixed sights at about 10 meters. Shooting anthing closer you will have to aim BELOW your target to hit target. The sights are FIXED and not moveable so you have to learn where the hit pattern is for this pistol. Also, buy extra magazines for easy reloading. I bought the package that has 2 extra magazines which is only $15 and worth every penny.

Gun feels great in hands, has a nice kick and report, uses CO2 well, more powerful than I thought 345fps would be (nice hole in a quality wood door). Easy to load. Build quality is excellent

Anything I would change would really be nitpicking, I am very pleased with this gun.

BBs will roll out of barrel if you pull the trigger with a clip in un-cocked (even on safety). CO2 loading can be a bit of a hassle at times. My gun fires a bit low and the fixed sights cannot be adjusted but with the laser (can be adjusted), I can hit a 2" target at 40ft 95% of the time.

This gun has a nice solid feel to it. The clip is robust and drops free of the grip when you trip the release. The gun looks and performs like a champ.

The spring in the safety lever is a little strong. It takes a lot of pressure on the serrated "blade" of the safety to make it slide. The laser likes to fall off since the spring on the catch is too weak. When the safety on on, pulling the trigger still pushes a BB out of the clip causing the next shot to be a double (or you can point it at the ground and the extra BB will roll out.)

Add a small piece of electrical tape to the bottom of the barrel where the laser slides on. That gives it a nice tight friction fit. Accuracy is so-so but that's what I was expecting with BBs. Still able to plink cans at 25 feet or so. All in all I'm quite happy with the purchase.

This is my second CP99. The 1st one went to my son. He loved the look and the blow back feature and I never got it back. So, I got me one with the laser system to one up my son. The gun is well made and solid in your hand. Feels like the real thing. So far ,I haven't had any problems occur. Very good workmanship. Excellent value for your hard earned money. I rather have this,than spending it on high gasoline prices.

Not a thing.This gun is GREAT!

Buy extra clips ,you are going to need it.

This is a PS blog......I have used the piece for several weeks now and still love it.....very accurate and looks and feel are awesome......Only real drawback was the loosenin laser sight, and that is the reason for my PS.....

Take a strip of BLACK DUCT TAPE....tear it into a 1/2 ince by 4 inch strip.....cut a small hole in one end just to cover the on/off switch on the laser sight....place this hole over the on/off switch and stretch the tape back and through the trigger guard and up the other side of the laser sight.....I did this and have had NO MORE incidents of the laser sight loosening up.....works great and the black duct tape keeps it looking great..

Don't hesitate to buy this piece....well worth the extra effort

I really love the total piece...Looks and feel are incredible, along with the weight and blowback....I set up a small range in my back yard and I am afraid the police are going to show up, thinking I am firing a real pistol ....

The only thing I would change is a couple features on the laser sight.......on mine, the battery cover falls off very easily with the kick this piece has..... and the whole laser comes loose after a few shots, laser snaps in solidly, but the weak locking tabs don't hold with the kick of this piece.....I think that could be remedied by the manufacturer with a few stronger springs in the locking mechanisms on both..

A great piece for the money.......and as in other blogs...use the Daisy zinc BB's...

Great accuracy and even better with laser I got perfect head shots with it, realistic feeling,realistic blowback. Looks real with ot without laser.Really great quality.Its really good on the co2 I get like 80+ shots I dont know why people says its not efficient.

Right now the gun is almost a perfect 10. The only thing I would added is an open chamber and make it both double and single action. Probably the co2 is not powerfull enough to make the slide go all the way back so walther designed it to go half way back when runs out of ammo,but it seems real anyways to the untrained eye. Dont get me wrong this is my favorite gun of all 13 I have.

The laser is great but you have to keep the eye on it because it come loose after a few shots(powerfull blowback). Also get the extra magazines I bought them and didnt regret it.Try to get some Daisy zinc bb's the copperhead dont work well with mine.

Very well made. It looks, feels, and fires like the real thing. Great action in your hand, with a real kick. Very good accuracy with the laser. Hard hitting for many shots....at least 50 before any drop off. Great realistic magazine loading and release.

It is great!

This is great quality engineering for little money.
