Duration: 22:22

This video provides a first look and initial shooting impressions of the Walther CCP pistol. The reviewer highlights its compact size, improved grip texture compared to the PPQ, and a crisp trigger. A key focus is the CCP's unique gas-delayed blowback system, designed to reduce felt recoil and ease slide racking. Initial shooting reveals a different recoil impulse, feeling more forward than backward, and a guest shooter confirms the slide is easier to rack than some other compacts, though still challenging for some. The reviewer notes the sights have low contrast and expresses curiosity about the long-term reliability and the controversial disassembly process.

Quick Summary

The Walther CCP features a unique gas-delayed blowback system with a piston and gas tube to reduce felt recoil and ease slide racking. Its grip texture is significantly improved over the PPQ, and the trigger is described as crisp and nice, making it an interesting option for concealed carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the unique feature of the Walther CCP's operating system?

The Walther CCP features a gas-delayed blowback system. This system uses a piston and gas tube to retard the slide's rearward movement, aiming to reduce felt recoil and make the slide easier to rack manually.

How does the Walther CCP's grip texture compare to the Walther PPQ?

The Walther CCP's grip texture is significantly improved and much grippier than that of the Walther PPQ. This enhanced texture means users likely won't need aftermarket grip enhancements for better purchase.

What are the initial impressions of the Walther CCP's trigger?

The trigger on the Walther CCP is consistently described as crisp and nice. This positive trigger feel contributes to a good shooting experience right out of the box.

Is the Walther CCP easier to rack than other compact pistols?

Yes, the Walther CCP is designed to be easier to rack due to its gas system and weaker recoil spring. A guest shooter, who typically struggles with semi-automatic slides, found the CCP easier to rack compared to a Glock 43.
