Customer Reviews for Walther Arms CCP 9mm 3.5" 8+1

It was a very picky gun for ammo to use. First time at the range it would jam or ftf every third to fourth shot. I could not even get a full clip through it. I got rid of the gun because I didn’t trust it for my conceal carry weapon.

Love it. Slim. Light slide spring. Forward slide serrations should be on every semi-auto, in my opinion. I got the Galloway Precision magazine extension for +1 capacity and a little bit more room on the grip. Perfect for me.

This is a great gun, fits excellent in your hand shoot dead on. My only down fall it the tool piece to break down the gun is small and hard to grip so had to trade gun it

My favorite conceal carry weapon. Grip is big enough to get my whole hand on and not create a noticeable print under my shirt with nothing to get snagged on the way out of the holster. Walther makes a nice trigger and this is no different. I have a PPQ as well, the bigger brother to this and they are my go-to's at the range and for every day use. This gun shoots everything. We have used all kinds of ammo from the cheap stuff to your favorties and have no cycling issues with any of them. I only use brass, so I can't comment on steel or aluminum. Breakdown is a bit complicated and the key is tricky, but I clean my firearms after every use and you get the hang of it.

The Walther is an awesome quality sidearm. I love ho the grip fits my hand because I have large hands. I have a Ruger 9mm and much prefer t carry the Walther.

Not what is made out to be disassembly is not t h at easy and gun shoots hard on your hand.sold after 200rods.

This is my fifth purchase from Bud’s. In all five, the transaction has been flawless. I managed to pick this up for $312 on a price drop. Glad I got it when I did because the price went back up later. I paid for my purchase with a money order so I could get the cash discount. That does prolong shipping by a few days. I ordered on a Tuesday and picked my purchase up from my FFL (Friendly Firearms in Lebanon, MO) the following Thursday. If you have any concerns about making an Internet purchase from Bud’s, put those concerns out of your mind. Takedown of this pistol is unusual and takes a couple tries to get used to. My first couple attempts were slightly frustrating. After a bit of practice though, you can take this pistol apart in just a couple of seconds. Reassembly also just takes a few seconds. I actually broke the pistol down and cleaned it two times prior to going to the range. I cannot overstate how good this pistol feels in your hand. It’s almost as if Walther made this pistol especially for me. It fits in my hand perfectly. The non-slip texture on the grip gives me a positive sense of control. At the range I wanted to get a feel for what kind of ammo ran best through this pistol. I started with 50 rounds of 115 grain Blazer brass FMJ. All 50 rounds were fired with no issues. Next, I fired 50 rounds of Winchester white box 115 grain FMJ with no issues. I decided to try some Federal aluminum case 115 grain ammo and here is where I ran into some problems. I had two FTL on both 8 round mags that I tried so I gave up on that ammo. I switched to Federal American Eagle 124 grain brass FMJ. I fired 16 rounds total. I had one FTE on the first round of the first magazine. This issue was strange in that it seemed as if the action didn’t cycle at all. The spent brass was still completely in the chamber and weapon was still in battery. The first round of the second magazine I fired failed to eject. This was disappointing to me because this was some of the same ammo that Hickok45 was using in his YouTube video about the Walther CCP and he didn’t have any issues with it. I decided to try something else. I fired 50 more rounds of Winchester white box with one stovepipe. I finished off my day at the range with five rounds of Federal Premium Low Recoil hollow points (all I had). I was curious how this low recoil ammo would work with the Walther’s Softcoil recoil system but get fired all five rounds flawlessly. In all, I fired 187 rounds with 7 FTL or FTL. Four of those came with the aluminum ammo and one with the Winchester white box. I’m tempted to blame the ammo in those instances. The issues with the 124 grain federal ammo were just weird. The next time I take this to the range I’m going to stick with the Blazer brass. I’d like to get at least 100 rounds through this pistol with no issues before I would feel completely confident carrying this. As far as accuracy goes, I was firing 6 inch groups at 7 yards. Not great, I’m inclined to put more of the blame for that on me. My eyes aren’t what they used to be. When firing supported from a rest (my range bag) I was able to get 3 inch groups. The factory 3 dot sights are acceptable but not great, especially in low light conditions. No adjustments to the sights were necessary. I’m considering after-market sights but that will add an extra $100 to the overall price of the gun. As many other people have noted the trigger pull and reset are both very long. It was difficult for me to get a sense of when the trigger was going to break. There is somewhat of a rubbing sensation as you pull the trigger. I would not describe the trigger pull as being especially heavy though. Several of the reviews I have read state that the trigger smooths out after about 400 rounds. There are also a couple YouTube video with tips for smoothing out the trigger. It is easier to rack the slide on the CCP than other pistols I have used. When I cleaned the pistol after getting home I somehow dislodged the red paint on the safety. Overall I am pleased with the CCP. The ergonomics and the was with which it can be loaded are pluses. The trigger and sights are acceptable. If I can get a couple hundred more rounds through it without any malfunctions I will feel much better about the pistol’s reliability.

Bought this for the wife till I shot it. Sweet shooting pistol. High quality pistol at a cheap price. Same general size as a glock 27 except grip is longer. Gun did come swimming in CLP is my only complaint.

I love the feel of this gun in my hand, hard not to just take it out and hold it sometimes! Take down is a little tricky but not horribly so. Occasionally had some failure to feed issues using cheap dirty ammo, but that was when it was straight out of the box and haven't had any problems after the first time out. Very happy with the purchase. Bud's was very easy to work with. First time I had purchased a gun on line and got a great price for just what I wanted.

I haven't fired the pistol yet. I just got it from the FFL a couple of hours ago. Here are my impressions, first box opening of the product. The gun looked like it had been fired before and not cleaned. The feed ramp was literally soiled with an oily dirt, there were particles of powder all over, and the barrel serial numbers were caked in burnt powder. There was a lot of factory finishing grease all over, inside and out. As advertised, the slide was easy to manipulate, and I can even release the slide with the slide catch lever. I haven't been able to release many other brand new guns with the catch lever. True to its detractors, takedown and reassembly are not for the faint of heart or weak of hand. You will need the tool to takedown and reassemble the handgun. DON'T LOSE THAT TOOL! The FFL sales staff botched the takedown and reassembly so bad that their gunsmith had to rescue them twice. I count myself fortunate to have what appears to be an intact handgun after almost 2 hours of the sales staff and gunsmith's fiddling with it. The handgun was marketed to people with less than good upper body and arm strength, by buffering the recoil of fired shots. I cannot verify that for myself yet. However, when it comes to takedown and reassembly for necessary cleaning (and frequent cleaning is an absolute MUST for this handgun), I cannot and do not recommend it to the intended target market. If a trained, experienced, and strong gunsmith, using the correct tool, cannot get the gun apart and back together again, how can a frail senior citizen do it on their own? In my opinion, it won't happen. Why do I say that frequent cleaning of this gun is a MUST? It's basically a piston gun, that heats up while firing and then dirties up the inside quickly. To be very blunt, it pukes where it eats. Think early vintage M-16s in the Viet Nam war for getting gunked up with fouling powder, then jamming when our troops needed it the most - under fire. So, if you have the time to fiddle with a handgun for hours on end, and enjoy having to be a gunsmith to just get it cleaned, go for it. If you are going to be the gun's caretaker for someone else in your family, be prepared to spend the time to endure the learning curve of the takedown and reassembly. If you are just going to carry it or shoot it, then let someone else deal with the maintenance, count your lucky stars.

Great gun. Fits my daughter's hand well and shoots great.

I've owned a Walther CCP since they were introduced 2014. A very fine CCW !!

Nice little pistol, fits well, in hand but the take down and re-assemble is so awkward and so problematic that I couldn't recommend it. I have a PPS, a PPQ, a P99, and those will have to do for now. Beautiful little gun, but for CCW, its the PPS.

Great little shooter. Fun at the range and totally reliable with any quality ammunition. Like most Walthers it fits the hand quite well, feels great and shoots well. Trigger after a little breaking in is nearly as good as the Creed or PPQ. For the price, this is a great CCW tool. I like it better than the PPS because I can shoot it better and it feels better.

Great gun, good pricing and handles better than expected. I really enjoy shooting it. Thanks

Transaction was everything I expected, fast and professional. Gun is perfect and shoots nice.

Excellent build quality and nice shooting, but the comments on take-down are true. It is not easy. If you want a pistol that is easy to cycle the slide, this is it, but if you can easily rack the slide on a PPS, get it instead of this one just for the ease of take-down. I have both, and prefer the PPS.

after researching 9 mm pistols ,reading reviews ,you tube videos,I purchased this pistol sight unseen and I love it,decocker is very easy ,slide smooth and trigger feels awesome.perfect choice for my needs and buds was great and fast ,thanks again

I have no shot gun yet... but love the grip and size.. gun does seem a little heavy... we will see how it works for conceal carry gun I will try to update later

Quick shipping, great price, Gun was as advertised.

Almost there. I purchased this pistol as it has the similar delayed gas thing like the HK P7. However, it needs to be smaller to be more useful as an EDC-CCW. Has a good Walther trigger. The dots on the rear sight of mine were pushed in too far to be able to see in dim lighting, but Walther was willing to fix them. As a collector, this is a cool gun to have (and fun to shoot at the range). As a CCW, I would go with a PPS before the CCP.

Shot this with 6 other small 9mm guns (all new and weighing approx 23 oz), the slide was easy to rack and recoil very light for a 9mm. Even more surprising was the accuracy. It was the best of the 7 guns. Highly recommend this gun. It's not a beauty, but handles very well. If I get a CCW permit, this is the gun I'll carry.

Bought this for the mother in law who lives off the beaten path. She has small hands and loves the feel of the gun. It shoots smooth and accurate. The only issue I have is the take down design. The small tool included doesn't work that well, so I gave her a small screwdriver to use. You still almost need a third hand to do it. Other than that, an excellent CCW.
