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.

The gun is... well, it's a P99! What is there to say other than: Best. Gun. Ever.

I have a collection of 99 series guns (family reunion below) P99 in 9mm x2, SW99 in 9mm, SW99 in 45, SW99C in 40SW, P99C 9mm x2 - so needless to say I'm a big fan of the platform.

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 ;)

Disappointed that they didn't do a test target for these guns. I know that hasn't been a thing for ahwhile... but come on Walther :confused:

Haven't shot it yet... and not sure if I will. Another P99 in a different color isn't going to exactly blow my mind away... still, it's always good to spend time with an old friend.

I'll never understand why they never made the ambidextrous slide stop standard equipment.

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.

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.
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.

My first was a P99cAS, which is one of the few guns I regret letting go.

I now only have one, but it is pretty special. I contacted Earl's years ago on the hunt for a "Defense Kit" gun or full ambidextrous model. I had forgotten about it, honestly. Then, a couple of years ago, they called me out of the blue, asking if I was still interested in a fully ambidextrous, they had just received five; Two with tritium sights, two with phosphorescent, one with standard sights. I was kind of cheap then, so I went with standard sights and upgraded later.

So here is my pretty rare fully ambidextrous P99AS.

I really want a SW99 in 45 ACP, and I want my P99cAS back. :-(
