Walther CP88 CO2 pistol 4.5mm Diabolo black

CO2 Pistol Walther CP88 - blued / 4.5mm Diabolo - The Walther CP88 CO2 pistol is a licensed production from Umarex. Both the grip and the metal slide have been blued. As a contrast, black plastic grip panels were used. On the ammunition side, 4.5mm Diabolo pellets are employed. 8 of them can be loaded into a drum, which then fits into the forward-opening breech. The 12g CO2 capsule required for propulsion is hidden in the grip under the grip panels. With this, the pistol provides an energy of up to 3.5 Joules. The Walther CP88 features a manual thumb safety. The single/double action trigger can be operated with both a cocked and uncocked hammer. In either case, the drum is advanced to the next position. The rear sight of the CP88 is laterally adjustable.

Item: 416.00.00-Set / Walther CP88 blued, caliber 4.5 mm - Set Our assessment: The sharp original has really been replicated down to the last detail. Thanks to the high-quality bluing, one could just as well be holding a real P88. The weight would also match. The workmanship leaves, as is usual with Umarex, nothing to be desired. All parts have been manufactured with great precision. The drum holds 8 Diabolo pellets while the CO2 capsule is directly clamped into the grip. In our shooting test, the good impression continued. The weapon is very precise and, thanks to an energy of up to 3.5 Joules, has good penetration power. Due to the use of Diabolo pellets, the precision on the target is significantly higher than with BB variants. This makes plinking even more fun. Our little test showed us that the implementation from the real weapon to the CO2 Diabolo pistol is very successful. It looks very authentic and shoots very precisely. Information about the original: In 1981, the company Carl Walther began developing a new service pistol in caliber 9x19mm (9mm Parabellum). According to the manufacturer's intention, it was to replace the Colt 1911 in the US Army and the Walther P1 in the Bundeswehr. Unfortunately, both endeavors failed due to the lack of a manual safety. Thus, the new pistol only received its name in 1988 upon its civil market introduction. The Walther P88 was then continuously developed. In 1992, the P88 Compact, which served as the model for the gas pistol, followed, and in 1993 the sport model P88 Competition. Although the complete P88 series was not a commercial success and could not compete with the emerging polymer pistols, it was nonetheless a milestone in the development of modern self-loading pistols. The most important innovation in the Compact variant was the ambidextrous manual safety. In contrast, the Browning-Petter system used in the original version remained unchanged. This can be produced more easily and, above all, more cost-effectively than the original Browning system and was also less sensitive to wear.
