context_page_description: The Walther CCP is a delayed blowback semi-automatic pistol developed by Carl Walther Sportwaffen of Ulm, Germany for the concealed carry civilian market. It is available chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum.
context_section_description: The Walther CCP is operated by a gas-delayed blowback system, using gas pressure from the ignited cartridge by directing it through a small port in the barrel in front of the chamber to slow down and delay the rearward motion of the slide. This design is nearly identical to the design of the Heckler & Koch P7.  Walther calls this system Softcoil. Unlike the Walther P99 or Walther PPQ, the CCP has a slim manual thumb safety. There is an additional internal safety that acts as a firing pin block. The ergonomic grip is a shorter version of the PPQ's grip. The capacity of the magazine is 8 rounds. The CCP has an overall length of 6.41 inches (163 mm) , its width is 1.18 inches (30 mm) and its height is 5.1 inches (130 mm). The length of the barrel is 3.54 inches (90 mm). Considering the CCP's size, the 5.5-pound-force (24 N) trigger pull and the 0.27-inch (6.9 mm) trigger travel are relatively high.
  Field stripping of the original CCP design (M1), required a special disassembly tool, while the revised CCP design introduced in 2018 (M2) features a takedown lever for tool-less disassembly.
  Walther has prepared a list of "test" ammunition and suggested grip instructions for best function, available to owners of the pistol upon request.
