Walther CCP

The Walther CCP (Concealed Carry Pistol) is a German-made, gas-delayed blowback semi-automatic pistol designed for concealed carry. It first joined the market in 2014 and is chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum, with a later CCP M2 update in 2018 that added a takedown lever for easier field stripping. A CCP M2 380 variant in .380 ACP followed in 2020. The pistol uses Walther’s Softcoil gas-delayed system, which slows the slide by directing some of the gas through a small port in front of the chamber—similar in concept to the HK P7.

Key features:
- Manual safety: slim frame-mounted safety plus an internal firing-pin block
- Grip: a shorter version of the PPQ’s grip
- Sights: interchangeable front sights, adjustable rear polymer sight
- Magazine capacity: 8 rounds
- Size and weight: about 6.41 inches long, 1.18 inches wide, 5.1 inches high; barrel 3.54 inches
- Weight: about 22.3 ounces (633 g)
- Trigger: relatively light feel with a about 5.5 pounds-force (24 N) pull and around 0.27 inches (6.9 mm) of travel

Disassembly:
- Original M1 required a special tool for field stripping
- CCP M2 adds a takedown lever for tool-free disassembly

Safety recall:
In March 2017, Walther issued a voluntary recall for a potential drop-fire condition and offered upgrades to affected pistols.
