Hello all,
I bought a walther p99 .40cal a little over a week ago, have about 125 rounds through the gun and one magazine. Went to the range the other day and was loading ammo into the mag, and the mag felt like the bottum was moving, upon closer inspection the magazine floor plate was cracked, and shortly after unloading the mag by hand broke.
My walther (and i assume the mags) were manufactured in 2003, the envelope that the bullet casing came in has a date of 4/23/03. I've read other post here that state that this was just a bad batch of mag floorplates. However this floorplate problem is fairly disturbing with so few rounds going through it. Other than that though I love the gun.
My question is how many people on here have experienced this? and If you have received new floorplates did those break aswell?
