UMAREX CPS/CP99 COMPARISON REVIEW 05/03/2023

Comparison between the Umarex CPS and the Umarex Walther CP99 pellet shooting Co2 pistols, both using Webley VMX 8.18 Grain pellets. Both free-standing double action at 10 Metres, with an additional clip at the end of the CPS semi-rested at 15 Metres on a soup can.

Weights of the two pistols are 739 Grams for the CP99 and 579 Grams for the CPS, a difference of 160 Grams probably down to the additional workings (and material) of the CP99's top slide, and not too far away from the real steel P99 9mm weight of 630 Grams.

Barrel length is only 3.25 inches (83mm) so both pistols are pretty accurate for plinkers with the average energy of both at 1.93 ft/Lb over 8 shots, though I found the CPS easier to shoot accurately down to its White dot sights, grouping tighter then the CP99 at the 10 Metre targets.

The detail on the Walther CP99 is higher (fake ejection port) but if you just want a reliable accurate plinker on a budget then the CPS pistol is good enough, along with the similar priced Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P45 or the Walther PPQ. Recommended.
