General Comments

I bought the Walther NightHawk pistol about 2 months ago. This pistols hasn't let me down yet, much. Okay, this pistol I have to admit is very real, despite the plastic. The weight is also a good thing to mention. The pistol is not, too heavy, not too light. The pistol also comes with many accessories; a red dot sight, a flashlight, a compensator, 2 magazines, a case, 2 allen screws, weird piece thingy, and a replacement front for where the compensator was. (For example, if I take the compansator off, the front looks like the front part is missing, so you just use the replacement front and the pistol looks normal) The accurracy with this pistol was very average. The pistol is my smallest grouping has been 5 and a half inches with all the accessories included. With the accessories on the pistol is very heavy, this can be a handicap, and a curse. I f you like to shoot with a lot of wieght then by all means shoot it with all the accessories on, but if your like me, take all the accessories off. My Nighthawk is currently "stripped." All the accessories on my NightHawk have been taken off, the only accessory being the replacement front. The sighting system without the red dot sight is very help with the white dots. The price was great because I bought it for around $262. This is a good price for a pistol like this, although I am thinking of buying a Umarex Beretta 92SF. This pistol also has all the markings of a Walther P99! When I bought this the pistol came with a case, which was great, because I didn't want to purchase another case. A bad thing about this pistol is the trigger. The trigger is hard, and has a very unsmooth trigger pull. I've noticed that many people complained of long triggers, but the trigger is not hard at all! The pistol also sometimes, skips pellets and this is sometimes very annoying. All in all this is a very average pistol, but a good amauter pistol. I recommend this for a training gun, but nothing more. This pistol is perfect for training your finger strength. I've got to admit that my trigger finger is very strong now! I bought this pistol at Canadian Tire for about $262.

    If you're not using the accessories why didn't you get a CP Sport for $120+tax? it's basically the same gun! or for about the same price ($220) a nicer version of the gun - CP99?

    btw I have a Beretta and it's a great gun, I can get 1-2in groups easily at 25 feet :)

    quote: "The trigger is hard, and has a very unsmooth trigger pull. I've noticed that many people complained of long triggers, but the trigger is not hard at all!" huh? So is it hard or not? i'm sure it is...

    Well... I took off the accessories because it was a little too heavy, and because with the accessories, the pistol wouldn't fit in my holster. I use the red dot sight once in a while, but not much.

    Regarding the trigger, instead of long at the last part, I was supposed to say that it was complained about that it was long, but it wasn't long at all. Sorry about that, but I was kind of rushed at the end of the review when I wrote it. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

    Hey, I just would want this because I think it looks cool. I don't shoot competitive or anything. I have one other bb gun i got from walmart lol. would you recommend this for me? or would there be something else you could tell me that I could look at?

  • Gotrice23 Rank: Staff Sergeant on 8th Dec 2005

    This depends how much money you have. If you had a moderate amount of money, yes I would recommend this to you. If you had even more money I'd reccommend you the Beretta 92FS or the Smith and Wesson 686. Where do you live?

    I'm in Georgia right now, I might be going to NC soon though. Christmas is coming up, so I will have a reasonable amount of money thereafter, but I just don't know if I want to spend that much on something I won't be shooting very often.
