Any opnion's on Walther P99?

[jefferson365]

Have wanted to purchase a P99 and am looking for some input regarding value, dependabliity vs cost? Own a Norinco 1911C, love it apart form some after market mag issues, and Had a Sig 226 but in a moment of weakness sold it(I know don't even go there... ) So any thoughts guy and gals?

I have both a P99 (military 2-tone) and a 226 (Stainless)....and I have spent the last 5 months trying to figure out which one to get rid of....I love both of them!

The P99 fit's like no other handgun I have ever shot, and is more accurate than I am.

get another SIG ...the best choice !

Ok, maybe I'll just get both...Hummm. anyone know where I can trade off either a Nightforce(3.5X15x56) or Leopold IV(8.5x25x50?) tactical scope?

The P99 has a pretty ####ty and loooong trigger pull... plus its really small and snappy... Not for me!

The SA version has three distinct trigger pulls


Long Heavy DA pull: rack slide, decock, about 10lbs when broken in, very smooth and lighter than Beretta or Sig.

Long SA Pull: rack slide: don't decock, light takeup till it hits a point where you hear a click as it locks into short SA. If you let go it stays in short SA mode.

Short SA Pull: either after a shot or preset from long SA, very short and light with a resent shorted than many 1911's. Excellent trigger.

The gun itself fits my hand nicely and is one of the most accurate guns I've ever fired...I attribute this to excellent hand fit. Some reports from ranges comment on parts fragility on this gun.

I got the P99 Titanium slide and it is the best handgun in my opinion. Super accurate with remington bulk jhp 115 gr bullets.

I like:

The grip

Dislike:

Trigger, way to stiff and long
Anward mag release button
Very snappy

Experiment with the grip inserts, with the right insert the P99 locks into your hand. I never noticed the snappiness, however I shoot with a pronounced weight forward stance which does control recoil better.
