Product Features

• CO2 compartment in the grip
• Fixed front and rear sights
• Compacted version of the CP99

Product Description

This compacted version of the Walther P99 is modeled after the gun used by special forces as their back-up pistol. This popular CO2 powered BB air pistol captures realism with its BLOWBACK, semi-automatic action and features a Picatinny mount to allow easy installation of accessories such as a Walther Laser Sight. A 12g CO2 cylinder loads in the back of the grip and the BB magazine releases with the push of a realistic magazine release lever. The recoil action made live by the power of CO2 kicks the slide back giving you that oh-so-realistic feel. A great pistol for target games and owners of the P99 Compact or similar firearms.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good gun, March 31, 2010

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 magazine lined up so you can slide it back in, but once you get used to it it's not a problem.

The CO2 reservoir is accessed by popping the plate off the back of the grip. It is powered by 12 gram CO2 cartridges. Before I bought this gun I read alot of reviews and it seemed that alot of people had a hard time getting the CO2 in. The CO2 itself slides in easily. Always remember to put some RWS Chamber Lube on the top of the CO2 cartridge before putting it in. Tightening the inner screw seemed to pose a problem to alot of people, but I got that tightened fine. The problem I had was tightening the knob on the bottom of the gun. You have to screw it to the right to open the CO2 screw, then to the left to put it on "power". I had to take a pair or plyers with a piece of cloth covering the knob so you don't scratch it and turn it to get it all the way turned and lined back up with the guns shape. You have to fully turn it or else the magazine won't slide out. Overall, its not that big of a deal, and maybe after a little wear it will become easier. Either way, this is a very small flaw in a gun so reasonably priced.

The other issue I've heard is with the design of the safety. I was able to take it off safety with one hand and no trouble. Doing it alot with one hand in a short period of time starts to hurt. It is easily taken off with two hands by using right thumb to push one of the tabs back then lifting up on the lever. This is something very petty to complain about...

As for firepower, this baby has some kick in it. It is also pretty loud. The recoil feature is awesome, giving you an idea of what a real gun would be like. The gun has good accuracy from what I have seen so far. As i said, I've only owned the gun for a few days, and I havent got to do all that much shooting with it.

The Laser Sight, also made by Walther provides great accuracy after you get it aligned correctly. Defintely a good buy for $25.00. It doesn't take away from the guns look at all. It adds to the realism.

Overall, I'd give the Walther CP99 Compact 4 out of 5 stars. It is an amazing gun for the price. I reccommend buying it with the Walther CP99 Compact Laser Sight (also available from Pyramid Air), 2 extra magazines and a bottle of RWS Chamber Oil (available from IronAim LLC). You will defintely want some extra magazines as it takes about 30 seconds to load a magazine. All together you can put about $130.00 (not including shipping) in this gun and it will be great. I defintely wouldn't reccommend this gun for anyone under 16. I do believe that you could hurt someone with this thing if you tried. I defintely wouldn't want to have this gun out in public, people could defintely mistake this for a real thing, absolutely INCLUDING the Police.

That about wraps it up. You can't go wrong with this gun. It is powerful and very realistic and a great buy. I think when I get the extra money I might get the original Walther CP99, or the Walther Nighthawk. Hope this helped potential buyers. Thanks!

4.0 out of 5 stars great fun!, February 13, 2009

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great with a little hickup, March 11, 2010

By

This review is from: Walther CP99 Compact Pistol (Medium) (Sports)

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 leakage. A dissapointing extra effort required every single time. Verified on both my pistols. If you can deal with this, the price / quality ratio is one of the best available!
