Duration: 7:52

This video compares the Walther CCP and Kahr CT9, both polymer-framed, striker-fired 9mm pistols holding 8 rounds. The Kahr CT9 is presented as a better value at $300 compared to the Walther CCP's $450, offering a cardboard case with one magazine versus the CCP's plastic case with two. While both are accurate, the Kahr CT9 demonstrated superior reliability during testing, with the CCP experiencing slide hold-back issues and failure-to-feeds during one-handed shooting. The CCP features a unique gas-delayed blowback system, claimed to reduce recoil and make slide manipulation easier, though the reviewer found these benefits marginal. The Kahr CT9 is recommended for its reliability and value.
