That's a direct quote from that website. No one can tell why the P99 is the "preferred", though, other than it looks cooler[b said:Quote[/b] (phobos512 @ Mar. 13 2006,10:39)]No:[b said:Quote[/b] (CDPMan @ Mar. 13 2006,12:49)]What about the finish? Is it the same??
The SW99 frame, although made by Walther in Germany, has a rounded trigger guard. The shape and composition of the SW99's slide is also different. The slide and barrel of the SW99 are stainless steel and melonite-finished. The slide and barrel of the P99 are steel and tennifer-treated. The P99 is considered by most to be superior to the SW99.
