Umarex & Walther CP88

There is no denying that Umarex has made its mark in the airgun world. For those who aren't aware, Umarex is the company that owns Walther. They bought a 90 percent interest in 1993, and the world wondered what would happen to the veteran gunmaker. In the year 2006, March 14, in Ulm, Germany, Umarex celebrated the 120th anniversary of Walther. One reason for their newfound strength was a panoply of realistic airguns that started flowing from Germany in 1996 with the introduction of the Walther CP88!

I have an Umarex Walther PPK/s pistol. and now I've got the CP88 as a new. The CP88 with the 4" barrel is a copy of Walther's P88 Compact 9mm pocket pistol. Though the exterior of the pistol is made of a low-temperature casting metal (pot metal) Umarex has engineered a beautiful finish that resembles blued steel. There are no voids visible, and the corners and edges are as sharp as if they had been milled. The weight is within fractions of an ounce of the firearm's weight (it's 1040grs), so you lose nothing in the sensory department!!
