Walther CCP in 9mm Review
If you or someone you know has low hand-strength or dexterity issues and finds the usual compact pistol difficult to use because of the heavy recoil spring found in most pistols, the Walther CCP may be just the ticket. My wife, after 25 years of owning her own printing business, was left with reduced grip strength. Here, she has no problems working the slide of the Walther CCP.
The rear sight is part of a three-dot sight system, laterally adjustable for windage. The front and rear sights are compatible with existing aftermarket night sights for the Walther P99, PPQ and PPS.
The frame and the barrel and firing mechanism are intriguing bits of engineering. In the words of a novelist friend of mine, “Had I a hat, off it would be.” There are no frame rails. That’s right: The slide rides on the fixed barrel. The barrel is pinned to the gas block. The gas block and the ejector block are each pinned to the polymer housing that also holds the magazine. The part we usually call the frame is a plastic shell, a hell-for-tough durable one, but a shell nonetheless.
The serial number is on the gas block, on the shroud around the barrel. (This part is the actual firearm in the eyes of the ATF.)
Three different front sight heights are included in the box with the Walther CCP for tuning elevation, if desired.
Reassembly is easy. Stuff the barrel back into the recoil spring, in the slide, and run the slide back. The only fiddly part is getting the piston aligned with the gas-port tunnel, as the piston wants to flop around. I found that by holding the pistol vertically, I could watch the piston and tip the pistol until the piston was lined up. Once you get the slide back over the chamber, press the disassembly tool back into the striker assembly and the slide will snap down into place.
The safeties don’t end there. There’s a slot milled into the breech face for use as a loaded-chamber indicator. The firing mechanism has a drop safety. The
At first glance, you’d think the Walther CCP was a CCQ that someone left in the wash and the result of the dry cycle was that it shrank.
A short accessory rail on the Walther CCP is unobtrusive and will accept compact pistol lights and laser devices for those who demand such things on their carry gun.
It has similar rounded contours, the same angular slide that is also not angular at the same time (a curious optical illusion) and the familiar kind of nonslip texture on the grip. Unlike the CCQ, which went through M1 and M2 versions focused on the magazine catch, the Walther CCP comes ready with an American-style magazine catch, which is a button behind the triggerguard.
The frame has a squared …Read the Rest
