Walther CCP M2 9mm

[Go Navy]

My daughter, a single woman who lives in Utah, just bought a new Walther CCP M2 9mm. Since Utah is a free state, there's no waiting period. It's the first gun she has actually owned. She wisely concluded that she needed some personal protection.

She is not a total newbie, because we've shot together in the past, but neither is she an experienced handgunner. Guns don't scare her, either. We communicated back and forth about the pros and cons of various makes and models. She went to a large gun store in Salt Lake and handled a number of semi-auto 9s.

She found that this one felt the best in her hand, which is mighty important for all of us. It also has a proprietary recoil reduction system. It has a fixed barrel and the recoil drives a piston attached to the slide. Slide racking is easier than other designs. It's also very "affordable". Once she puts in a little range time with it, I'm confident she'll be able to deliver a less than pleasant welcome to an uninvited guest.

I'd be interested in any opinions and experience with this particular pistol. The M2 is an improved ( 2018), version of the M1.

Nice, I have a few Walther pistols, and I like every one of them.

If this were a free state I’d buy one in a second. I have a PPS M2 on my CCW. I love it!

My interest in gas delayed blowback pistols, makes me kinda want it.

Walters and HKsk are excellent. She might like the VP9sk and SIG 365.
The best is doing range time at LGS with 3 of the best.

I have a PPQ M1. It is really comfortable in my hand. Very accurate. Nice stock trigger. But the feature I like the most is the M1 mag release. I bought it not really knowing anything about the M1; thought I'd give it a try. I wish all of my handguns had a similar mag release. Walther makes some interesting looking pistols. If they are all as good as my PPQ then I guess I'll need another one. or two

I have a couple of HK USP Compact 9mms. I call them "semi-compact". It is amazing how accurate they are; they're not fixed barrel, though. I think the tolerances are fairly tight in them, because if ammo is slightly out of spec, they won't eat it. One of them locked up on some Bear ammo once and I had a hell of a time correcting it. Almost had to take it to a smith but I got it loose finally, without buggering it up.

The SigP365 was one that I recommended to my daughter. She liked it a lot, but the Walther feels better in her hand and that's important.

It is impossible to have too many Walthers. I started with a P22, and they multiplied while my wife wasn't looking...

The gas delayed blowback like the HK P7 is cool. I believe standard capacity is only 8 rounds though, especially low considering she lives in a free state. Better than nothing at least.

I can carry anything. I carry a ppq. It's a great gun that is light with no recoil.

I'm pretty sure the pistol is designed as a single stack, and for possible purse or concealed carry. I think there's a factory ten rounder that has a pinky finger extension. She plans to buy a couple.

I've encouraged her to practice at 7 yards (as opposed to longer distances) for groupings. The typical bedroom is usually smaller than that, and that's where you might confront an uninvited guest who needs some "education".

I've always wanted an HK P7, but now I have too many handguns (yes I know that's not possible), and the P7s have become very pricey.

Very nice. Can’t wait until I’m in a free state so I can buy a Q5 Match.

Wife is considering this. or an m and p ez 9 mm
