Opinions on Walther CCP vs PPS

[SamHendy4]

I have seen a lot of good reviews for the PPS and for the PPQ but does anyone have experience with the CCP?

Check the Walther forum. The CCP appears to be a rather problematic firearm. I believe it's made by Umarex in their Airgun factory in Arnsberg, as opposed to the PPS which is made by Walther in Ulm.

I have a PPS Classic and a PPS M2. Both are really excellent, well-made pistols, ideally-suited for concealed carry. I also have a couple of PPQs...likewise excellent pistol.

The CCP is an abortion of a handgun (check out the Walther Forums and see for yourself!). The PPS is a better choice.

I have two CCPs. They have both been flawless. I also have the PPS. I like the CCP better and carry it more. The PPS is flatter but does not have as good of a trigger.

I have the PPS (M1) with paddle release. I wasn't interested in the PPS M2 simply because I would have to buy new mags. It also came out after I already bought my two CCPs.

Yes there have been problems with the CCP and none with the PPS.

All I can do is talk about my sample of two. I love them. My wife likes the CCP because it is easier for her to rack.

Another advantage for the PPS is availability of night sights. None so far for the CCP.

I've only shot one CCP and the trigger was terrible and the recoil was severe with SD ammo. My PPS is a much better firearm, smoother trigger and better recoil characteristics.

I don't understand Walther, they knock it out of the park with PPQ and PPS, then make the CCP and PPX.

All I can say is that is not my experience.

To the OP, I would suggest you find a friend or gun range that has both to rent and try them. Best of luck in your search.

The CCP is not made by Walther, in the same way that the Mosquito is not made by Sig. Quality wise, there is no comparison between the PPS and CCP.

I'd also suggest checking the reviews and comments on the CCP section of the Walther forum.

I bought a CCP and just love the gun. Fit, feel, size and 8 round mags. Now they are a bit ammo picky and the do get hot after a bit of shooting but these guns are tack drivers. I would buy another without hesitation.

Damning with faint praise...

Hmac, no not really. The gun just likes hotter ammo. These are a decent pistols and I love the one I carry. The CCP is one of the most accurate pistols around. It's a tack driver without a doubt. Anyway I like it. Quite a few people are trashing the gun who have either never owned one or fired one. Either because of the take down, which is no where near as bad as people make it out to be, or just because it's made by Umerex. I take my gun down with a glock tool and have no issues with that. My pistol has a very smooth trigger and the reset is not that bad. I don't really care one way or another about selling the gun but please don't trash it if you never shot or owned one, on someone else's issues. I like the gun and it works for me and I own many pistols I could use instead.
