Trigger Mechanics: The Umarex Walther CP99 features a moderate double-action trigger pull, with the main effort concentrated in the early and middle phases for cocking the hammer and rotating the magazine. This results in a consistent point of release, facilitating precise pellet targeting. Engaging the slide in the rear converts the CP99 to single action, significantly lightening the trigger and enhancing shot accuracy.
Shot Precision: Testing the air pistol at a distance of 20 feet in a semi-supported stance, the CP99 impressively grouped shots within a one-inch diameter, slightly to the left of the center. Windage adjustments are possible with the sights if your shooting is slightly off-center. Preliminary velocity tests with 6.9-grain RWS lead pellets yielded an average of around 346 fps, closely aligning with the stated 360 fps.
Manufacturing Quality: The Umarex Walther CP99, a blend of metal and polymer, boasts significant metal internal components, contributing to a substantial feel. Notably, it features a full-size magazine for the CO2 cartridge, adding further weight and functionality. German engineering ensures excellent overall quality, and the plastic components are of a high standard.
Authenticity: Licensed by Walther, the CP99 mimics the P99's frame, though the slide differs from the real firearm. It's apparent that the CP99 is inspired by the Walther P99, despite a few differences like the safety mechanism. The real P99 lacks safety, but the CP99 includes a large, noticeable safety on the slide. The inclusion of a functional de-cocker, slide catch, and full-size magazine enhances its realism.

The Umarex Walther CP99 CO2 Pellet Air Pistol represents an upgrade from the previously reviewed Walther CP Sport. It more closely resembles the P99 and includes additional metal parts and both single and double-action triggers, enhancing its overall appeal. Although the price is higher, the added features justify the investment for Walther enthusiasts. The CP99 would be a valuable addition to any airgun collection, combining quality, realism, and functionality.
