Trigger Functionality: The trigger on the Umarex CP99 Compact is remarkable for its brevity and lightness, making it one of my top picks for action shooting. Its design allows for rapid and precise shooting throughout the day.

Shooting Precision: The CP99 Compact's sight alignment perfectly complements my shooting technique, enabling me to consistently achieve close groupings without needing any sight adjustments, even during swift shooting sessions.

Manufacturing Quality: The Japanese craftsmanship of this BB gun is apparent in its enduring quality. After nearly five years, its performance remains as stellar as on its first day. The gun is robustly built and finished, providing a comfortable grip. Notably, the ejection port is integrated into the slide but doesn’t reveal the chamber, showing the valve assembly when the slide is pulled back.

Authenticity: This BB gun replicates many aspects of the real 9mm P99 Compact, except for a longer handle and a distinct safety mechanism, distinguishing it from its real counterpart.

Pros:

  • Faithfully mimics the Walther P99 Compact 9mm in design.
  • Ideal for training, closely resembling the size, weight, and handling of the actual Walther P99 Compact 9mm handgun.
  • Strong blowback action enhances shooting realism.
  • Offers good FPS and CO2 efficiency for a blowback BB gun.
  • Exceptional trigger pull makes shooting extremely enjoyable.
  • Features a Picatinny rail for mounting accessories like laser sights or tactical lights.

Cons:

  • The ejection port in earlier models is not an actual cut-out but is part of the slide’s mold.
  • The safety lever design diverges from the original, affecting the gun's realistic appearance.

Comments:

This blowback BB gun rekindled my interest in Replica Airguns. Despite extensive use and occasional rough handling, it has proven to be incredibly durable. The Umarex Walther CP99 Compact is not only fun to shoot but also economical, both in terms of purchase and usage, consistently delivering over 100 shots per CO2 cartridge.

Favourite bb gun after long-ish break in period

Hours and hours of fun with thousands of rounds through - zero problems or malfunctions, though it took a good oiling and over a thousand rounds to get the action moving smoothly. Very clever internal hammer and cocking system is well designed. Apart from significant slide wobble (which I think was intentional) the build quality is excellent, go Japan. Weight and balance were well considered and the trigger pull is pretty good though it suffers slightly on a full magazine. I'm using it so much right now I'm actually considering getting another one, incredible airgun for the price

Great bang for your buck

Received the gun even before the promised delivery date. Glad I spent a few extra dollars to get this blowback gun. I use Daisy CO2 and Daisy lead pellets. I get 4 magazines for each canister.

Fun

A fun blowback, semi auto. Surprisingly accurate for a short barrel. Not bad CO2 use. Getting 3 magazines before I have to hand cock it. Still enough to push the BB out at a good rate. Loads of plinking fun. We'll made, heavy.

Great

I bought this for my son which is 4 years old. This is actually the first time I find a gun that he can hold and operate himself. Accuracy is all over the place sadly ... expect LOTS of flyers. I got spare mags which are cheap and come in pack of two for a lot of shots without having to reload. Gun is heavy and really well made. Double security is appreciated in this particular case. I'm now convinced to buy his big brother for myself.

Review

Look and feel of real pistol. I had a rat in my backyard got it first shot at 25 feet . Very impressive operation and get more rounds out of it then my non blow back umarex glock19 and glock19 is off 2 inches at 15 feet. Only thing I don't like is the plastic cover over the co2 has a slight wiggle while gripping. And no more rats so worth the money. Satisfied Customer.

Looks really great, especially the silver slide!

Blowback seems too weak after a couple magazines, end up pulling the slide back every shot. But other than that it’s accurate and looks great! Really pleased with the silver slide.

Can't Miss (in more ways than one)

I have to admit: I'm biased as this is the second of these I've bought from Replica Airguns Canada. My first one has the laser-sight. Excellent weight, feel, realism. I don't mind the novel safety at all--I kinda like it, actually. Very impressive build quality and durability. Has surprising heft, given the pistol's small size. Simple to operate. But what really shocked me was how accurate this pistol is, especially when you consider how short its barrel is. Right from the get-go, I was grinning: it was like I couldn't miss (and I'm by no means super-talented or anything). Give it a go.
