Hi guys!

I've been thinking of buying a CO2 pistol for fun. About 25 years ago, my father bought me a Crossman CO2 revolver that I ended up selling a few years later. I always regretted that move :rolleyes:

In any case, a while ago I fell in love with the looks of the Walther CP99 by Crossman. It looks like a good choice, but it's much more expensive than the other Crossman models. Do any of you have experience with that particular model? I'd like to know if it's worth the premium price. there's also the CP sport, that looks identical but is less expensive (still more than other guns though).

I mostly intend to do short range outdoor shooting, probably never more than 20 yards or so. I'd like decent accuracy, and a fun gun.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I have the Walther CP88.

I splashed out a bit extra and bought the 6" barrelled, wood-gripped, micro-adjustable rear sight version.

It's great fun, cheap to run and surprisingly accurate.

Whatever you do, stay away from the Gamo air pistols... I've had two and they both defective from the start.
 
I'm not sure what you criteria is for the pistol (Features/cost/likeness etc)

I have both the walther cp88, and the crossman C40.. here are my impressions

CP88
hefty well made gun, all solid and uses metal clips (discs for holding pellets)
good accuracy
nice detail on the gun


C40
not as much detail as the cp88
more powerfull then the cp88
didn't like the plastic clips or the handles (rattles) or the co2 loading arm (There was nothing wrong, just not a nice as the cp88)



The C40 is good for the $$ (Less then half of the price of the cp88), but if you don't mind spending the money, get the CP88 (I got the nickle)
 
Is this the CP99 all done up?

I really like the looks and $160-199 doesn't seem to bad.

Thanks for the great info, as always!

I guess I'll go for the Walther after all!
