spitfire,

I have the early black cp88 and yesterday bought a new matt black cp88.

The build quality is excellent on both guns. The matt black looks good, but it is easier to scratch as just painted on. I enjoy using these guns at 10m targets and the early model has adjustable sights and aftermarket silencer.

One slight quibble (on both) is the slackness on the removable plastic grip, which I sorted with a bit of plastic tape inside the catch.

Alex.
