After a couple of thousand rounds out of my 9mm P99AS I have made a few observations:
1) Ergonomics of the P99 are outstanding (equal to my other favorite 9mm..the SIG 226).
2) The DA/SA transition is excellent. The DA pull is consistent and does not stack at the end of the pull.
3) Reliability has been 100% with everything from COR-BON, WW Ranger, Blazer Ball, and Lead bullet reloads (and I did not even have to buy an aftermarket barrel to shoot them!)
4) As a carry piece that holds 16 rounds, the size and shape and weight of this pistol are unsurpassed for comfort and ease of carry. It's as svelte as a full size service pistol can be and retain excellent shootability.
As has been mentioned before it is a shame that Walther has done such an awful job of marketing this pistol. I own Glocks, HKs, and Sigs, and while each excels in one or two areas, the Walther seems to do everything well. If you have not tried one yet, do so.
