Walther CP99 Compact Pistol (Black, Medium)

I bought the Walther CP99 Compact about 1 weeks ago from Pyramid Air. I also bought with it the Walther Laser Sight. Had the gun and laser within 3 days of ordering it. That's fast!
Overall opinion of this gun is amazing. It is so realistic both in appearance and weight. With the laser and full CO2 this thing has the weight of a real handgun, maybe a little under. It is great looking and fits perfectly in my hands (a little on the smaller side, but feels great). The gun has recoil which is a sweet feature. It has a cocker/decocker (slide moves back and forth) and the slide locks back when you are out of BB's, just like a real gun. It has a drop out magazine that holds 18 .177 Steel BB's (Copper works too). The magazine release is located by the trigger. It is an ambedextrous release, in that you press down on both sides. The magazine itself is a little on the skinny side, but that doesn't seem like it will be a problem. It is very sturdy. At times its takes a second to get the...Read more

I found it to be acceptably accurate. It does need some sight paint. As long as you don't let it get too cold it works reliably. I found with copperhead bb's if you take up the slack on the trigger the bb's would often roll out the barrel.
A small price to pay, this has made me want the real Walther p99 compact in 9mm. Its about 6 times more expensive, so this is a good deal. Get a 50 pack of co2's zinc steel bb's and extra clips.

I found this pistol to be a very realistic and fun to shoot pistol. It is very accurate and is very comfortable in the hand. The blowback action is also very realistic and just like the real thing, the slide must be racked in order to fire. Unlike the real thing, you have to rack the slide each and every time you take it off safety. It does not actually chamber anything by racking, it simply allows the CO2 to activate. Applying the safety deactivates the CO2 and the slide must be racked again once the safety is turned off. One hickup to this pistol is the effort it takes to get a CO2 cartridge to seal. Once the internal screw is tightened to take up the slack, the locking pivot on the bottom only rotates a limited amount to both pierce the cartridge and align into place. I have two of these and both require additional "effort" via a pair of needle nose pliers or a small flat blade screw driver to tighten the inner screw enough to allow the locking pivot to do it's job without CO2...Read more
