#Walther p1 9mm barrel length manual
#Walther p1 9mm barrel length full

EVERY TIME YOU RETRACT AND RELEASE THE SLIDE THE STRIKER IS COCKED.вЂќ (All caps and exclamation point are WaltherвЂ™s, not mine.) There is a manual safety: up is safe, down is fire, and itвЂ™s right hand only, because ambi safeties seem to get in the way of вЂњminimum price point.вЂќ Having carried single-action auto pistols cocked and locked for more than half a century, this writer has to say, ItвЂ™s single action вЂ“ if itвЂ™s cocked, and has a manual safety, carry it locked! Walther states adamantly in the ownerвЂ™s manual, вЂњCAUTION SINGLE ACTION ONLY! THE WALTHER CCP IS DESIGNED AS A SINGLE ACTION MODE PISTOL. This is a striker-fired, single-action pistol. The frame is polymer and the slide-while it resembles Zamac-is Cerakoted stainless steel. Grip length allows all of my medium-size adult male fingers to get onto the gun, thanks to the slight flange at the bottom of its magazine, which holds eight rounds and brings capacity up to nine with one in the spout. The CCP is dimensionallycomparable to other slim 9mm pistols, like the S&W Shield.ДЄ tad over an inch thick at its widest point, the CCPвЂ™s frontal profile tapers toward the top of the slide. So, letвЂ™s just look at it as a concealed carry 9mm with a roughly $400 price point, and leave the name (and any attendant вЂњgun snobberyвЂќ) out of the discussion. I get a sense that it is marketed as a functional defensive handgun for someone who wants the reassurance of a name badge associated with high quality, and does not have a large budget for guns. In that sense, the Walther CCP (Concealed Carry Pistol) is not seen as a вЂњtrue WaltherвЂќ by gun purists. (And even name BondвЂ™s armorer вЂњMajor BoothroydвЂќ in the subsequent novels.) Bond was created as a connoisseur of fine watches, fine automobiles, and bespoke suits from Saville Row: the prestige of the high-quality German Walther brand fit right in for such a manвЂ™s вЂњcarry gun.вЂќ Not for nothing did Ian Fleming listen to the advice of real-world British gun expert and arm his fictional Agent 007, James Bond, with a Walther PPK. Unlike most pistols, the waltherвЂ™s barrel is fixed to its frame. Field stripping the CCP for routine cleaning is quick and easy.

It did not turn out to be the most stellar moment in the history of AmericaвЂ™s oldest handgun manufacturer. Only difference was, it was a Spanish Astra re-branded with the Colt logo. Offering a low-priced handgun with your brand that was made in another factory is not a new thing in the firearms industry this senior citizen was a kid when Colt reintroduced their pocket. My understanding is that Walther is a family member of Umarex, best known for its quality airsoft guns, and further that the CCP is made at the Umarex factory, not the Walther plant. LetвЂ™s go to the source before we go to the product. Now, theyвЂ™re expanding with a low-priced handgun in the same genre: Meet the Walther CCP. Walther has already done very well in that market with their PPS pistol.

Seven to nine rounds of full power 9mm Luger ammo on board, and soft enough recoil to allow for serious вЂњshootability.вЂќ Slim and flat, ideal for inside the waistband carry or even toting in the pockets of less than skin-tight clothing. The pistols IвЂ™ve come to call вЂњslim-ninesвЂќ are steady sellers in the concealed carry market. Walther goes economy-priced with its new single-action concealed carry pistol.
