Trigger Mechanism: The trigger on the Umarex Walther CP88 Competition performs exceptionally in both single and double-action modes. The single action offers a lighter and shorter pull, significantly enhancing shooting precision and ease.

Shooting Accuracy: In my previous experience with the standard CP88, I found the accuracy impressive. Shooting from a free-standing position at 20 feet, the air gun consistently achieved a two-inch grouping near the target's center. Even after firing 24 rounds across 3 magazines, the shots remained within the two-inch ideal zone, albeit slightly high and to the right. Thankfully, the adjustable sights for windage compensate for minor left or right deviations. My average velocity, based on eight shots with 6.9-grain RWS pellets, was 360 fps. I plan to compare the CP88 Competition with its shorter-barreled counterpart in the same test conditions soon.

Construction Quality: Almost entirely metallic, this air gun boasts excellent craftsmanship and a solid weight of 2.56 pounds. German manufacturing ensures top-notch quality. The only plastic components are the matte black grips, which seamlessly integrate with the airgun's overall design. The mechanical parts operate incredibly smoothly.

Authenticity: The Umarex Walther CP88 Competition is an authentic replica of the Walther P88 semi-auto pistol, closely resembling the original except for the magazine break in the slide and the added "C" in its name.

Pros:

• All-metal build - Hefty and robust
• Manufactured in Germany
• Officially licensed by Walther
• Includes a sturdy hard-shell case
• Elegant Matte black finish
• Windage-adjustable rear sight
• Smooth, light trigger in both double and single-action
• True-to-original ambidextrous safety
• Expected accuracy on par with the standard CP88, potentially higher fps due to the longer barrel

Cons:

• Pricier than entry-level models, but offers superior quality
• Sights might be challenging to see against dark backgrounds, lacking white dots
• Conspicuous white warning engraving on the right side
• Might feel too heavy for some users

Comments:

I am thoroughly impressed with nearly every aspect of this airgun - its size, appearance, German craftsmanship, and performance. The Umarex Walther CP88 Competition is a remarkable air pistol that I believe is worth saving for, just for the joy of ownership and use. While it may lack features like blowback action or a full-size drop-out magazine found in some modern air pistols, it's a delight to shoot and promises many years of enjoyable use.
