Hello fellow Walther owners!
This will be my first post on the board, although I've been reading the board for a while.
I bought a P99 chambered in 40 S&W a few weeks ago, and finally had the oppotunity to take it to the range today. I bought the gun because of its ergonomics, repuation, and from reading comments on this very board, but I'm a bit worried... I'm not a first time shooter (although I really just have experience with my friend's sig P-229), but after my showing at the range today, I wouldn't have much trouble passing for one!
I understand that this is a new weapon for me to "learn," and am not jumping to conclusions, but my groupings were all over the place! I'm looking for some reassurance that the problem lies with the shooter (me) and not the gun itself.
I ran factory ammo through it today (win 165 grain), and there were no failures of any kind. The gun performed like a dream functionally; too bad a couldn't put the rounds in the black. I'm cleaning it right now, and thought I would finally post something on the board!
I'm happy to be here, and look forward to talking with you all. Please lemme know if anyone has had a rough first day with their P99, and if so, what he/she did to correct it. Thanks!
