You have to be one of the best KZfaq personalities ever - your reviews are useful and entertaining, and your manner and expressiveness are delightful. I wish we had more folks like you here across the pond! Cheers!

I received my CP99 just days ago and I’m quite happy to report it’s awesome! No question, it’s my new go to pistol. Everything Andy said about this pistol is accurate. It fits perfectly in my hand and the grip is rather comfortable. When it fires it feels like a small caliber real steel pistol! It’s the smallest of my pistols but the biggest in attitude! Yes, it’s a keeper. Thank you Andy and Mrs AAR and the rest of the crew. Looking forward to Friday. Your friend in Phoenix, Rudy

Brilliant as always Andy! 👍

Good video as always andy. I loved it all until we got to the stick mag. I personally love a weighty magazine with the co2 and ammo in the same unit. Inserting the magazine, feeling its weight sliding upwards and clicking home and then rackin the slide straight away in one fluid action is part of the whole shooting experience i find, and a stick mag doesnt give me that. All the best from lancashire.

A standard that can’t be beat. Thank you Andy and Mrs AAR. It’s ironic that I purchased this pistol just yesterday. Thank goodness it’s a favorable review! As always, your friend in Phoenix. Rudy

Hello, and thanks for the video, that only yesterday I found. I own one. 177 Umarex Walther P-99 Compact since from 12 years ago, and bought in second hand. No problems so far, thank God, because I do not know how to disassemble it and where to buy its parts from. I do not like the stick magazine, and CO2 separated compartment, but it worked very well... Thanks for showing this replica and thanks for being here, and explain so well.

Good morning ANDY , whot a wonderful solid pistol .... it has some fab features . the stick mag with hold back and hole is brill . blow back and hold open is great . Theres nothing i can see to dis like , it is brill in every way . i own its big brother , but i will defo be putting this on my next to buy list . Fantastic presentaion Andy and Mrs AAR . thank you for your hard work ..... Cheers SIMON from York England *****

I have the US version of this pistol. Probably my favorite Umarex in my collection.

Most of the Umarex air pistols are actually KWA/KWC airsoft pistols that have been converted which is why they are so realistic in looks, materials and operation such as trigger weight and pull etc... I dissed airsoft guns for years until I actually bought a VFC (Umarex) H&K 416C gas blowback tanker SBR with full auto, I've been hooked ever since. And with now a collection of nearly 100 guns a good 80% are full metal gas blowback airsoft guns, pistols, submachine guns, automatic rifles, full auto shotguns and gas pump action ones, LMG's, and my favourites..sniper rifles, I've spent a fortune on those lol. I am a collector, builder and tinkerer who likes relaxed target shooting and plinking so I'm not after trophies, hunting or even airsoft gaming but I still love these and recommend any doubters give the gas full metal ones a go and not be put off by the polymer electric ones (although those can actually be some of the best performing for the sport of airsoft hence their popularity).

You are like the Bob Ross of airguns 😀😀

Friday is the best day of the week! Always looking forward to my dose of AAR

I had this Walther a long while ago and had several issues. It may have been from leaving still charged ( full / half full ) co2 cartridges, in the bb gun for weeks at a time. Which I now know will ruin just about any co2 air gun, but none the less. It developed leaks at the valve seal and throughout the gun. However the other issue, which is now concerning me because I was unaware that this gun was made by Umerex. An have just recent purchase the Umerex Glock 17 gen 4, which is another blow back air gun by Umerex that seemed to have awesome reviews. Although I did see complaints about all these same issues. Is that the slide catch mechanism / lever, is made extremely shallow and is angled. Instead of having a straight notch, which caused it to wear down very quickly. An after wearing ever so slightly, the slide would no longer catch or hold back. The metal on the Glock 17 gen 4 send even thinner or weaker, an I can definitely see this happening. For 150 to 200$ air guns, that's absolutely ridiculous. I'm hoping that I can possibly shave the notch deeper, an will try it on my broken Walther. Since I still have it lying around, an an also curious about disassembling this gun (Walther CP99 ). If there's a way to purchase new valve seal that can be replaced, perhaps I can resurrect the gun.

Oooh, I could see me doing some plinking with one of those in the garden.

That colour nail polish suits you Andy 😜

Enjoy! I absolutely Love mine.......Great little shooter!

This review video tipped me over to buying one. Will recieve it before the weekend is in!

Has Umarex recently revised this one? This one did seem even a bit better than these being most of the times.. One of my very first BB pistols I bought. Sworn never to buy another one - unless being the Recon model. On mine the slide is thin - and wobbled around. Loose slide spring and slide catch-release lever spring; sloppy action. The small screw on the top became loose - finally stripped the extremely small and short threads totally. The co2 cartridge seal often leaks on this model. The bottom twist knob sometimes can prevent smooth insertion/exctraction of the stickmagazine if the knob is not turned just right. If the follower accidentally shoots up to the top without BBs being in it - the follower is prone to go into two bits (I recommend to get a pack of spare mags for it while buying this pistol - just in case).. And finally: one of the weakest BB shootinh pistols I ever have bought... But this is now of course my personal copy of the Walther CP99 Compact that I am referring to. Maybe Umarex upgraded it yet again? (The first model had no cut-out in the slide). But yet again a very nice and classy review of it by Andy ant the crew! Makes my Friday coffee break - every time.😊👍

The CP99 is nearly identical to the Walther PK380 in body frame My carry weapon is a PK380 and the CP99 is a perfect matching training weapon.

Great idea for the mag but I always like a full size magazine just for realism

I have this one's big brother and if it's half as good it's very nice indeed 👍😎

Thanks for another great review. Looks like a very well made little pistol,

Could do with the CO2 being part of the magazine like with some airsoft pistols. That way you can sequentially shoot magazines while avoiding the cooling effect.

Enjoy your reviews, very much.

I put a BSA scope on my daisey red Ryder. Brilliant.

Another great review . Im just waiting for mine to land from vector air today . Up early like a child on xmas day lol .

Great review, trouble is I'll need a black budget to buy all of the items . And an 8000sq ft bunker.

Great review again Andy! I'm all over it, own the full size in air soft, and the spring air soft.

I've had one for years...It's good fun, but I hate the safety. It's so stiff to operate. I like a safety that clicks on and off positively, like the best ever safety on the Colt 1911.

It's so ironic your doing a review on this gun... I've been on the fence with this gun for awhile now, and since a lot of my purchasing decisions rely heavily on your reviews, my mind is made up. I really have a liking for these smaller "compact" guns ever since I purchased the Sig Sauer P365(again, based on your review of that gun as well)because they are a lot of fun to shoot. Thanks for another great review, and I hope you realize how beneficial your work is for a guy like me. I'm a total newbie to airgunning, and so much of my knowledge is gained from you and your crew. Thanks again.

"It is 167 mm long, but despite it's diminutive size, feels way bigger in your hand." That's what always say too

great review ANDY, so good ive just bought one .... fantastic pistol

Been out for years.. nice little gun though for plinking.. But I prefer the Walther pps m2.. Feels more solid. 👌

Nice review as always ! Shooting pellets is more important to me than having blowback, I'm especially missing the Nighthawk at the moment.

Like it buy it 👍 Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍

I really like this one. Biggest regret was letting it go because I cant find the proprietary cp99 laser sight yo purchase anymore... Great video mate!

smashed it again Andy well done.

Ok now I want one .

Spend 150 extra and get something thats rifled authentic poly carbonate junk 50 more and get the Smith and Wesson M 29 which is a beautiful replica I’m very pleased with that one My Beretta FS 92 with the wooden grip obviously you get what you pay for take care

Another brilliant video Andy, I now if I ever buy one pistol then I will buy many 😗🙄😀, 👍👍.

Interestingly enough green laser light shows better in steam,etc than red.they use green lasers for pointing out stars and planets and they pick up on the moisture in the air and you can see the beam but red ,blue,etc are hard to see except where they hit the target.

Hey Andy! Great Vid...Question,Where did you get the Laser? Looks like an aftermarket. The one that people used for this model has been discontinued...Give me a Link Sir! Good Day to you.

Thanks for giving the price.

Excellent video. I just bought this gun off ebay for $100

Let's say you have £200 to spend on your first replica blow-back air pistol. You have limited cash and although you'd love it to be the start of a collection, it's more than likely going to be on it's own. Is the glock 17 gen 4 still topping the charts as the best buy?

Quite the salesman hey what Andy! 👍🏻

Thanks for your review, my gf just purchased one of these for back yard practice! Can you please post the name/brand of that little laser light? All I got from you was Q-Fancy... something, thank you so much!

Thanks Andy. What laser did you use? Perhaps you could review some lasers.

Im beginning to love your videos! You should do the springfield armory XDm, its a really nice blowback bb gun that is very weighty and field strippable

Green looks good on you Andy 😂😂

Love your reviews, keep up the good work, can we have some more hunting rifles please, Kral jumbo hi-cap would be grear

Review the KLI Baba Yaga Hi-Capa 5.1 Co2 Blowback Pistol (4.5mm/.177) seems to be a cool pistol. Just wanna know how it stands. Is it worth buying. Or should I look for something else

"Cue the fog.....Cue the laser.....Cue 007!"

ANDY... I cant see any review of yours on its pellet firing version CP99 Pellet CO2 pistol... Would love to see you do one to bette understand its rather pricey price tag.

See I do that with the co2, but hear the co2 leaking. Even tho it’s as tight as can get

You get to play with so many nice toys Mate.

Just got mine..I love it

Thanks Andy great once again

Nice little gun Cheers Andy 🍺

Nice pistol , very happy with mine.

Your excellent presentation bespeaks significant effort at preparation. You can’t just turn on a camera and start yapping away. Re this pistol...I want a pellet shooter with a rifled barrel. So I guess junior here is out.

Hey Andy I know this request is a bit of a big one. but it seems as a newcomer to the sport I have questions that when I look for a answer I only end up with more questions .. my main issue at the moment is finding the right pellet for the right gun .. e.g ( what pellet suits what gun the best ) .. I currently have a sherridan cowboy. Bought on you recommendation and love it and a victory cp2 . I can't seem to find a pellet or bb that suits the Sheridan... I have tried rsw flat head .. umarex bb .. crossman copper heads .. and jsb exact . The jsb perform the best so far but I still feel there is room for improvement... any advice would be great ... or maybe a short vid on what you personally found shoots well from most guns .. maybe even some popular guns . Like umarex replicas ..

I'm sure a half inch extention on the trigger face would help those with long fingers

Best on the tube this guy

I didn't realize this was blowback and BB. I always thought it was just a smaller CP99 which I do own. Well I guess it gives me excuse for buying one now. :)

Tidy little pistol. I would prefer it to be a pellet/blowback but BB's are fine for tin cans and bottle tops i suppose. Great review again Andy, thank you.

Thanks for your great channel Andy. I'm brand new to the sport and I want to purchase this as my first gun. Can you clarify if it will shoot the plastic ASG bbs comfortably?

I saw the cp99 I have one and I looked for another version on your channel n cloudnt find the video I seen ppq that ain't blowback with co2 in the handle and with the slide opening like cp99 questionable to be honest

Excellent video

Hi Andy. What laser are you using please? Thanks.

Very nice. I think I'll stick with my CP88 though.

Hello anyone give me a direction on what to buy next. I got a gamo c15, now everything was perfect, except one thing, dual ammo, no rifled barrel so the accuracy for me let it down, is there any just like it, the blowback everything was perfect, the weight, is there anything the same but accurate, that wont break the bank? Cheers, been looking at this, the ppq and a few others, but some are nearing 200 quid and the c15 was 72, so im looking under 150, closer to 100 if possible.

I know this is old but I wish you would review the CP88?

Thanks for joining me for breakfast Andy 👌🏻

That is a nice gun I hate the stick magazine.

Hello mate do you have a review of the OG version?

I’m curious? Which gun do you prefer the walther cp99 compact or the HK USP BLOWBACK???? Im torn between the two? Thanks!!!

I see slide moves up and down little bit.

Give us a clue Andy , what is the make and model of the laser site ? I have the Walther and need a good laser or optic of some type and this looks ideal

Excellent, as always

Thumbnail shows a laser- didn’t see anywhere in the video where what was in the thumbnail was shown. What laser is that?

So the laser on that CP99 Compact,.... is the laser on the bore axis, or offset? I kinda have a thing about lasers being aligned with the bore axis. Also, that safety, it looks identical to the safety on my Gamo PT-85, but this is an Umerex rod,... so how come they share common features?

I've been having a issue with the slide it keeps coming off

No LxHxW size, how does on miss that?

What laser is that? I’m buying the same gun and need a laser for it

I have the same gun, where can I get the laser for the cp99?

Good stuff as usual

Don’t stop making videos please

Nifty little gun....

Hi Andy, why are there so many pistols below the legal limit of F/B 6, so many even below 2 FB. there seam to be quite a few on your reviews. Just wondered.

I always need to know its Height, length and width to ensure how it will fit my hand. Why these informations are not always provided Is always horrible.

Question is, is it better than the clock 17 gen4??

Great little air gin. I’m sure it use to be around £80

So would you say it has a decent target accuracy?

Where did you get the lazer

I've never seen one with so much gap in the slide and lower, something looks off with yours andy

Great review as always Andy, is it field strippable?

HI Andy. I want to buy the shooting chair that you use in one of your reviews some time back. It had a support in front to rest the gun on and you adapted it to move up and down. Can you please let me have the name of it. Many thanks.

I have this gun. I like it a lot:))

Whats the best air gun next to P365? Blowback and gunmetal I want a nice feeling like im holding the p365.
