Carl Walther was born 22 November 1858.
In honor of it, and really more by total coincidence, I purchased two new-to-me lightly used 9x19mm Walthers this week. A excellent example P99 AS version (my 3rd P99) with 4 mags and all new accessories/box, and today a excellent example Gen 1 PPQ (my first),with all accessories and box as new, and a nice kydex holster. Both guns could pass as new, not a blemish or observable wear on them.
I'm a big fan of the P99. I really love the angular look and the ergos are top shelf, and I like the mag release. The AS trigger is really excellent.
Never owned a PPQ, but have had my eye out for a while. I like the Gen 1 because of magazine compatibility and the paddle mag release. I do marginally prefer the angular look to the P99, but the PPQs grip, Glock-esq trigger, and ambi-slide release is a home run in my book.
Happy Birthday Mr. Walther!
