Walther CPM 1 Seals

Hello all,

I am trying to find new replacement valve seals for an old Walther CPM1 CO2 pistol, to repair one from our club.

Can anyone help, by giving information of a parts supplier in Europe?

Thank you very much.

Re: Air Pistol for Free Pistol Training

The closest air pistol I know to free pistol is the Baikal IZH 46M.
Trigger can be set to one stage without problem, and can be lower than 500gr. I do not have the means to test how low it can go.
I feeling is not very far from the Mu55 I had.

Re: Training with different Pistols

Hi trboat,

your view certainly sounds more fun, so I guess it couldn't hurt, maybe at the end of the season.

Thank you for your input.

Re: Training with different Pistols

Thank you JonPersson and all others for your inputs.

Makes sense, I will stick to one pistol, to see if I get the most out of the time spent in training.
Not only trigger have different characteristics, as grips are also different in size and shape.
Best regards,
Luis
