I didn't find much when searching the forum for a review of the Walther CCP M2, other than general issues with Walther that seem valid. Either way, I'm looking for a self-protection pistol and eventually CC pistol for my wife once she gets her CCL and a little more experience shooting. Main concerns are safety, reliability, her liking how it shoots so she practices more, and chambered in 9mm (most likely).
She's not particularly recoil shy, she shoots a 12 gauge or a 9mm and .40 pretty well in larger pistols, but has small hands and weighs about 125lbs. Obviously I want it to be a gun she enjoys shooting so she'll come to the range and practice more, which leads me away from LCR's/J-frames in .38 or other calibers. I think putting a large Hogue grip on a small revolver to mitigate recoil and bite might make it to bulky for her to carry around, but looking for opinions on that because I don't own any snubbies at the moment and haven't had a revolver in years. I'm thinking she'll be more accurate with an an autoloader than a snubby because of better sights, longer sight radius, etc and realistically how much she'll practices with it.
I'm pretty sure I want it to be chambered in 9mm, and the CCP M2 seems to check all the boxes, at least as far as I can tell only from reading stuff on the internet, never had one in my hands.
-- Anyone have any real experience with it, good or bad? Or better suggestions for something in 9mm that's a little more female friendly?
Ultimately it's going to come down to her shooting a few different options and picking which one fits her the best, but any opinions on the CCP M2 or other similar pistols in 9mm would be helpful. Is the gas system on the CCP something that makes it less reliable, even if cleaned and maintain properly? Is there something inherently wrong with the design, or is glock just a better choice due to all the new models/options, way more aftermarket support etc available? Thanks for chiming in.
