An equivalent CP88 Comp will sell for around £130-ish, making this a relative bargain. And CP99 are not very well rated as I understand. Double action only. You might find one for around £90 ish. |

The CP99 can be operated in single action, but it requires the back half of the 'slide' to be pulled back for each shot.  |

The CP99 has only got a very short barrel, 3.5 inches I think. The C225 Target has got a 6 inch barrel like the CP88 Competition.

Hi, a bit torn at the mo 🤷♂️
Not sure if I want the target/comp versions, as not keen on extended barrel 🤔
I know it's better for accuracy, just not keen on the look 🤷♂️

What you need is someone with a lathe who can knock you up a short barrel, then you can take the extension off or put it back on to your heart's content with the barrel length to match... Best of both worlds.  |
