Hello everyone, this will be my first post. Today I visited a local gun store and purchased my first P99. I believe I got a pretty good bargain of $560 for the new 9mm P99AS all black. I?m going back to the store on Tuesday to pick it up.
I am concerned about how little the gun store representatives knew of the P99, everyone told me it is no longer in production, and phased out by the PPS. When I asked if this pistol has the extended ambidextrous magazine release of the post 2005 model, they told me the AS has only had one model. I am glad that I don?t listen to everything gun store representatives say or else they would have had me buy an M&P. I doubt they know any difference between pre-post 2004 models.
This forum has been extremely insightful for me as a long term Walther fan. I thought today would be a good day to join the club (the forums) as a new Walther owner.
