Got to go to the range tonight with my new QA .40. I am probably preaching to the choir on this. My buddy brought his Glock 22 .40. I know there is a glock owner who may read this and disagree.
My Impressions
The trigger on the 99 seems a bit heavier, similar to a military type trigger (like there is a little play before the hard pull). The Glock does not feel this way. Get past that and the 99 still seems smoother. Tie
Shooting or pulling the glock trigger rubs my trigger finger bad. The P99 is solid and doesn't jump around. Winner = P99
The 99 fits like a glove. The G22 has to much of an aggressive slant to the grip and I can't wrap my hand around it( I seem to have to hold the gun away from my palm for a good grip). Winner = P99
Slide lock on the 22 is terrible. Small and hard to operate as far as chambering a round. The P99 is big and easy to work. Winner = P99
Take down slide release is much nicer on the P99 especially since it can be decocked and you don't have to hold the trigger down to release the slide. Also the G22 take down button is too small. Winner = P99
Magazine release on the P99 is great. A little different than most guns, but use your trigger finger and it works like a charm. The glock has a small button and is not as smooth. Winner = P99
Grouping using same ammo was good on both guns. Tie
I like the Glock sights. P99 is good and I am more used to these type, but I tend to have a harder time centering the front sight between the rear. Need more practice. My buddy actually liked the P99 sights better and shot better. I say its a tie, until I get more practice......Any Hints???
Looks goes to the P99. The Glock looks like a lego block. P99 has smooth lines. Winner = P99
Overall, I think the P99 wins. I have a lot of practice to get efficient with the gun. The fit and finish of both guns is pretty good, but the P99 just feels better. I am so happy I bought this gun. I am sorry for going on and on. Walther should really try to do a better job of promoting this gun.
Last. That friend of mine with the glock, well I think he may be selling it soon. P99 wins the heart of another Glock Jock!
