Page 2 of 4 - Walther CP88 4" Blued Reviews

Power house for a compact pistol, extreme accuracy straight shooter, smooth action, light weight yet solid feel, no leak or gas loss co2 load. . .solid co2 puncture, easy to shoot, rotary magazine does not pop out when opening the slide (like the Umarex Baretta 92fs).

Lower price or include wood grips.

Easy fit in the hand and easy to shoot. Not as big at the grip when compared to some others as the Baretta 92fs. Higher priced pistol but worth giving a try. This gun is a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend.

Excellent feel and weight. Easy to load and fun to shoot. This is the most accurate pellet pistol I own. It was accurate out of the box. You can't tell that the handle is plastic until you remove it to load the CO2 cartridge. Well balanced.

Nothing, I really like this pistol.

Great value for the money

Very hefty and lifelike. Feels very nice in hand. Love the slide for loading the magazine!!!

Nothing yet...

I purchased my first CP88 in January and put close to 8500 pellets through it (and approximately 85 12 gram co2 cylinders)until one of the cylinders jammed in the grip/cylinder head. I tried a number of methods to dislodge the cylinder to no avail. Sent it back to Pyramid for repairs and they wound up sending me a new one in its place. Thank You! What great customer service. Since shooting the replacement, I have found two additional cylinders that have not seated properly on the first try so I removed them but was able to use them successfully in a Walther CP99. This pistol's cylinder head may be a bit more finicky than others. I still like the eight and trigger pull of this model over the CP99, although each is fun to shoot.

Nothing.

I have been using Crossman 12 gram cylinders but may consider another brand if I continue to have cylinder sticking problems. It is hard to believe that I was able to shoot through 85 cylinders without a hitch with the first CP88.

Bought this pistol for wife training as it matches the weight and feel of my "House" gun. I have set up a range in the garage and we use it all of the time. We are shooting 2" targets at 20'.

Front Sight Blade to an Orange fiber optic to match my other handguns

Wad Cutter type Pellets work the best. Even though round and some pointed pellets will work, they often work loose and jam the rotating magazine. **Wear Safety Glasses. As the power goes down, pellets will tend to bounce back at you.

I really like the feel of this air gun which I was hoping would be much like my Ruger P95. The double action trigger is reasonably smooth and is good training for accuracy. It should make shooting a "real" pistol in single action that much easier. This pistol has been a lot of fun shooting targets and soda cans at 7-15 yards and can be shot in doors when the weather is not so nice. I had never given much thought to getting one of these, but to be able to shoot 100 rounds for less than $3.00 and have the feel of a real pistol (less the bang and some recoil), it has turned out to be a great decision. The semi-automatic action works flawlessly.

Nothing.

I usually get 96 to 104 shots per 12 gram CO2. of course the last 8 or so are a bit weak but they still knock over a soda can. Buy extra 8 round magazines.

good trigger on double-action. single action is short but heavy for me. It is very accurate at 20 ft.

There are no white dots on the sights. Hope it comes in with better sights. The existing sights gave me the impression of toy instead of firearm.

I get about 75 good rounds per 12g co2. I have run about 25 co2 cartridges on the cp88 and still get about 75 good rounds, very consistent.

Excellent trigger, both single and double-action. Actually, better than the "real" gun. Quite accurate for a CO2 pistol. I'm able to consistently hit tin cans at 20 yards shooting off-hand. Very well built, weighted like the real gun. About 80 shots per CO2 cartridge, 50 of which have plenty of power.

Paint the front sight a "glowing color" one can see in bright sunlight. Otherwise, this gun is about perfect.

Very high quality pistol, just like the real thing. Rear sight is easily adjustable with the allen wrench provided. Looks and feels like the real thing. Possibly, the best Walther copy available. They did everything right--even for southpaws.

Weight and feel of a real firearm. Excellent for practice without the expense of ammunition and time required to go to a shooting range. It came with 2 rotary magazines which was a pleasant surprise.

My pistol came shipped missing the screw that goes in the safety lever on the right side of of the pistol. Therefore the safety lever on that side kept falling off. I was going to send it back for an exchange, but I figured I would give Umarex support a try. I called them and they had a new screw to me in 3 days. I commend Umarex for their customer support.

I ordered this pistol for my wife so that she could get some practice without having to go to the shooting range. Suits that purpose extremely well!

This gun is a perfect example of quality German gun making.Very well built,solid,..feels just like the "real steel".The CO2 loading/lever system is THE best!!!Fast,and quick.The rotary mag. is very easy to use,..careful not to drop them ,they fall out easily when you tip the gun.Pyramyd Air offers it at a fair price,and fast delivery(as usual!!)I've added the wood handles,and compensator..like having two guns in one!

Nothing

if you can afford the pricey cost.....buy this gun, it's worth it!!! you will not be disappointed.
