The first time I used my new P99 Titanium .40 at the range was a wonderful day. I was so impressed with it I gave my husband a turn. He shot 10 rds (offhand) at 15 yds. all in the 9-10 rings. That day we fired 100 rds. thru the Walther. I went to the range 3x that week and noticed that each day I used it the accuracy got worse and I gave up in frustration on the P99, instead I practiced with my Glock and went home. I mentioned it to my husband and told him it was probably me so we went together on the weekend. He fired the gun on a rest at the same distance as before. The shots were all over the target just as they had been for me during the past week. He tried resighting/reshooting the gun and was as disappointed as I had been.
The gun has been cleaned and oiled each time after using. My husband inspected it after I showed him some heavy wear on the underside of the slide where it comes back over the barrel when fired. We don't know if this is normal or not. He also noticed what looked like a machining error on the right portion of the ejection port, which also showed signs of wear. The bearing area on the front of the slide where the barrel goes through was worn unevenly. It was wider and higher on the left than on the right.
He called Walther and they sent a pre-paid label so it went back this week. It will be interesting to see what they find. While I'm waiting, I thought I'd run it past you experienced Walther owners for some feedback.
