I just sold my Glock 31 (full-size, 357 Sig) to a friend of mine and have a OD P99 in .40, all German proof marks, ready at the local gun dealer.
I will be picking it up on Wednesday or Thursday.
I have been researching this gun for about 2 weeks, and am very impressed with the remarks I've read about it.
I have owned a couple of other Glocks, and they were great tools, but they lacked a certain appeal.
When I began my search for a replacement carry gun for CCW and hunting/hiking, I originally was drawn to the HK USP compact. However, it was almost too small for my hands, and some people didn't like the trigger.
Plus, the HK was $690, and the Walther is $529.
My father is a police chief in a northwestern university town and is a huge Sig Sauer fan. But, he also has a PPK and every Bond film made
.
He took a look at the new Walther P99 and was very impressed. He can't wait to shoot mine next weekend.
So, hopefully in a few days, I will be giving my range report on my P99.
I have usually enjoyed sub-1" groups off-hand at 7yds with my better pistols, and I'm hoping I won't be disappointed with the P99.
