I just wanted to say I'm glad to have found this forum, it's nice to be able to share information with so many P99 owners.
I'm a relatively new shooter, as I've only been shooting for about 3 years now... my wife and I wanted to try something new and we had a friend who shoots IDPA competitions. She recommended that we take basic handgun course at a local range.
That training class sure was an interesting experience. At the end of the course, we were able to select a gun from their inventory and practice drills through a couple of boxes of ammo.
Not thinking I would ever shoot again, of course I chose the largest caliber I could get a hold of, a .45 cal. The only one left though was a compact Glock 30. I went to my lane and boy did that gun give me a deep respect for firearms. That gun fired with vigor and the large ball of flame coming out the end of the barrel had people a few lanes down checking out what the heck was going on my ways. That Glock was fun to shoot.
I decided to continue learning, so bought a more manageable 9mm (chose a new AB coded Walther P99). I'm fairly proficient with this handgun and like it very much, but lately, I am looking to move up to 45ACP.
I really love the thoughful innovations designed into the P99 and look forward to learning from the members here.
