I'll report what they say.

Speaking of quibbles...Congratulations Angry Hippo. Great pickup!
We can all quibble about what the Final Edition should have been but as others have said, it's great to see Walther acknowledge the P99s place in the company's history.
Lol. You are hard-core!Speaking of quibbles...
It bugs me that the challenge coin featuring the original P99 doesn't have an period correct magazine release.![]()
...or trigger guard.It bugs me that the challenge coin featuring the original P99 has the ski hump but doesn't have a period correct magazine release lever.![]()
I won't either. Imagine shooting lefty, preferring to use the slide release to release the slide, preferring to have a lever there to clear potential malfunctions, and knowing that the rest of the world gets the ambidextrous lever, but for some reason, they won't bring it here.I'll never understand why they never made the ambidextrous slide stop standard equipment.
It was a rare, special order from Earl's. I got very lucky. As a southpaw, it isn't a need but sure is a want.I won't either.

Interesting to see a Walther Arms import mark on that pistol. I've been waiting to find one of these or the earlier "Defense Kit" pistols local to me, but no luck yet.
Congrats and it looks great! Thanks for taking the time for the detail pics. 👍Here it is... the FIRST (posted here) P99 Final Edition.
Picked this baby up today. Shout out to Tombstone Tactical for prompt shipping and a fair price and Ark Tactical for receiving the gun and getting it to me just an hour after FEDEX dropped it off.
Proud to report that the P99 challenge coin is both thicker AND longer than the SIG Legion coins... we all knew who was really packing![]()
I just sent PM'd a link with a retailer who has one in stock.Congratulations! I cant find one anywhere!! Put my name on every list possible.
