Finally got the P-99!
Thanks to NineseveN for all his help and his exceptional review found here:
http://www.pafoa.org/forum/pistols-4...99-review.html
It took me over a year to track down the Walther(AS model). It's now discontinued. SW99 is the only thing close to it. The ergonomics itself, make it a must have for any collector. It fits so well in the hand. The ambidextrous mag release kills the Glock. Having the option of both SA/DA mode is another plus. I found my new carry weapon. It's also a few grams lighter than My G23.
I'm now currently looking for a holster. If anyone can throw me some suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm looking for a paddle. Leather is fine but I'm a fan of tactical as well. The Fobus caught my eye.
Here's a few pics!

Side note: To the Glock enthusiasts...I'm not abandoning My 23...it's still a great pistol and I've had absolutely NO problems with it whatsoever. I'm just giving it a break for a while.Last edited by SFMarine; August 13th, 2008 at 11:19 PM.

Re: Finally got the P-99!
Hey man, once again, congrats on your purchase. I hope you love the shit out of that little sucker.
AFAIK, Walther is still making the P99, they're just not in very high supply over here in the states right now. Or did I miss something?

Re: Finally got the P-99!
Hmm from what I've heard...they're no longer made?? It must be the AS model that was pulled. I've heard it a few places including yesterday when I picked it up. The owner of the shop said "ya they don't make them anymore"
Well...the Walther/SW merge turned out the SW99 so I guess that's the alternative. I'll have to look into that.
Where's a good spot for mags? 12 rd 40sw I was looking on cdnn but their shipping prices are astronomical.
Just put 5 rounds through it. Extremely accurate. I made a few phone calls while I was pulling that sucker in DA mode though lol.

Re: Finally got the P-99!
I'm just a little confused.
So there's a DA and a SA mode, but it's a striker fired pistol?
Am I still drunk? I'm really confused.
I like the pistol though.
