pfield69's Review of Walther CP88

Overall Rating

3.5 stars

Good Points

Look and feel of a real firearm. Easy to use.


Bad Points

I have the basic sights on mine which ten to shot high. Pressure drop during life of cylinder causes varying degrees of accuracy.


General Comments

This is my first co2 gun so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was torn between this and the Beretta, which in the end I decided was a little heavy.

Accuracy wise, its not too bad on new gas when shot slowly. I found I could get groups of 3cm at 10m with the first 32 rounds. After this the pellets tend to go where they want. If fired fast accuracy would be unacceptably wild after just 8 shots. You can see the pellets flying in every direction.

It is definitely not a target pistol but is great fun for shooting tin cans. It is not powerful enough to hunt. I wouldn't use it 20cm away to dispatch something (if your that close you don't need a gun!).

I bought CO2 for £16.50 for 50 (33p ea) and you need half decent lightweight pellets. The CO2 lasts about 80 rounds before you get a jam but as mentioned earlier half these shots wont hit the target.

I'm going to see if I can get the 6" barrel to see if this improves accuracy (perhaps the Beretta would have been the better buy?).
