Walther Airguns CP88B Co2 Pellet Pistol- 4 Inch Barrel

October 10, 2017

I really like this Walther .177 cal air pistol. It looks and feels like the real Walther P88 Pistol. I like the weight of the pistol and it's very accurate. I do my testing at 10 yards with Crosman .177 cal 7.4gr wad cutter pellets, and it will routinely put eight pellets in a 2 inch circle. The trigger has a fairly long pull before all the slack in taken up, but breaks cleanly once it reaches the breaking point.

Pros:

I get about 75 shots per Co2 Cartridge before it starts dropping pressure. I love the way the Walther CP88 feels and fits in my hand. I'm ambidextrous, so I shoot with both left and right hands, it feels great in either hand. I've tried other brands of pellets in the Walther CP88, but I like the Crosman 7.4gr wad cutters the best. The Co2 Cartridge is easy to load as is the 8 shot rotary magazine. I also installed a Stainless Steel Guide pin Upgrade Kit and it uses a stronger spring along with the Stainless Steel Guide Pin, which gives the Walther CP88 a much more positive feel when opening or closing the slide.

Cons:

There's not much that I don't like about the Walther CP88, but I think for a Air Pistol of this quality, the sights could be better. The stock sights are hard to focus on, as they are the same color as the pistol. I ordered some Indelible Marker Pen Oil fill paint pens and painted the front sight orange and the rear sight white. What a difference that made. Now I can pick up the front sight immediately. One other thing is the trigger pull, I think Walther could have lightened the trigger pull, which leads to greater accuracy. My Trigger pull is 8.5 lbs in Double Action and 7.0 lbs in Single Action. That's not unreasonable, but my Walther PPQ 9mm has a 4.5 lb trigger pull and is the sweetest shooting pistol of all of my pistols.

One flaw

July 29, 2016

I am very happy with the Cp88. There is one flaw in the rear sight. I love that it is adjustable but after 500 shots, mine came loose and almost fell out of the slot. It was easily tightened again, but it is a flaw that could cause you to lose the rear sight. In one of the blogs, I read a person's blog saying that he had lost his rear sight... Probably, after adjusting the sight, touch the allen key head with a drop or fingernail polish. If you are a fix it person, put the allen screw back in with locktite.

Pros:

accurate solid build good handling

Cons:

Rear sight can come loose

Happy

July 22, 2016

I have used the gun only for a couple of weeks and cannot speak for durability. The gun seems to be very well made and it's accuracy exceeds my ability. I am happy with the purchase. It does it's job by allowing quick practice ability without going to the range.

Accurate Replica that is a lot of fun!

September 18, 2014

I am really enjoying shooting my CP88. It has a very heavy weight to it that replicated the weight of the real firearm. You can shoot it in both single action and double action modes which gives you the choice of quick follow up shots or more deliberate aiming and shooting. The metal 8 rounds internal mags are easy to load and make it very easy to reload; as well. Make sure and pick-up extras of the 8 round mag as you will need them as you are having so much fun shooting that you will not want to pause to reload the few mags that come with this pistol. Recommended!

Pros:

Nice heavy weight. Easy to load and reload. Accurate appearance to the actual firearm Fun to shoot!

Cons:

None

great pistol

December 27, 2013

Having a great time with this pistol. Nice little case included. Get plenty of pellets, you really fly through them fast.

Pros:

Love the metal construction, solid feel. Mechanically very smooth and sound. Clip/ cartridge works great, never has jammed. Easy to change CO2 Capulet. Dependably shoots off 8 rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger. I wonder if Walther is going to make a .22 cal, because I'll be the first to buy one. I bought extra clips.

Cons:

Shoots high and don't know how to adjust for that, rear sight only adjusts left/right, front sight is fixed. Would also like to adjust for less trigger-pull. But, these are not deal-breakers. I would recommend this gun to anyone interested.

Fantastic training pistol!

June 7, 2013

I own this pistol, and the Colt 1911 variant as well. Both are exceptionally well built, with great fit and finish, and great feel in the hand. These pistols are designed to closely replicate the weight and balance of the "real deal" pistols they copy. I use them to train with, as it is much cheaper to shoot these than any centerfire. The triggers are nice and crisp, and can be fired in both single or double action, which is a feature not found on most airguns. I have owned both of mine for about 5 years now and have not once had a single glitch with either. These will also fit perfectly in any fitted holster you have if you own a P-88 (same holds true for the Colt!) allowing you to practice different draw scenarios. This is truly a superb airgun that will serve you well for many years! Highly recommended!

WOW....GREAT GUN.

April 17, 2013

I have seven other air guns, which I love, but the Walther CP88 is on a higher level. It looks and feels like the real thing and is definitely not a toy. Out of box with absolutely no adjustments, I shot a 1 inch pattern of 10 shots at 30 feet ,and it continues to remain accurate as the distances are being extended. Great Gun!! And I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Very Pleased.

March 19, 2013

Very impressed with my purchase, from the protective case it came in, to the weight and feel of the pistol. Living in North Dakota (cold country USA), and seeing how Co2 and cold don't agree, I'll have to get back to you on how well she fires. The wife won't let me shoot guns in the house unless someone is coming through the window or door uninvited. In such a case, I won't be using your pistol. But so far 1-10, I rate it a 10. Hope this helps prospective buyers and supports the 2nd Amendment. Shoot Straight America.

Pros:

Everything

Cons:

Nothing

Walther CP 88

July 16, 2010

I have owned several pellet/bb pistols, but this is hands down the best I've ever owned. I purchased it with the red-dot sighting system and silencer, but rarely use them. The gun is accurate right out of the box using the post sights. I can consistantly hit soda cans at 15 yards away without wasting pellets. It's been about two years now and not a single glitch. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than five, is that I wish Walther would have included a blow-back feature on the slide like some of the other "high-end" air pistols. I have fired the real thing I can tell you this aiar pistol cannot be distinguished from it's big brother. Nice weight. Quality construction... etc. Well worth the money!
