I was at the gun shop last night. The owner insisted that some parts of the P99 are made in the US to get around certain import taxes or restrictions. He says he heard it from an S+W rep. I couldn't change his mind. He treated me like I was wrong and didn't know better. My common sense argument was that they would have to ship parts to the US, add the US parts during assembly, ship it back to Ulm to proof, and then back to the US. He wouldn't listen.
Anyways, does anyone have correspondence with Walther or product literature stating the gun is 100% German (or at least 0% S&W)? I know about the FAQ page, but something official would be good. (not counting the .40s that were SW slides) I’m not trying to be a know it all, but I hate to see sales people spreading inaccurate technical information, must be the engineer in me.
Thanks,
Don
PS Take it easy on me, this is my first post here. I did search, the best I found was the proof mark argument, nothing ‘official’. I picked up my .40 last night. I have about 6k rnds through my 9.
