PS, I'm going to call Walther tomorrow and ask where my color matched backstrap is 
I'll report what they say.

The First: P99 Final Edition
17
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
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.

Speaking of quibbles...
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'll report what they say.
I asked a phone representative about the backstrap. (Chris was his name, maybe?)
They claimed that the all olive drab gun pictured doesn't actually have a backstrap at all. Claims it was fully injection/molded as part of the frame for the 'prototype' guns pictured - and no OD backstraps exist.
So the thing about these guns... they've already been fired. You can see the brass marks on the gun already.
IMO I'd put a a box of ammo through it. What good is a gun that you can't shoot? P99's are cool but they aren't THAT pretty.
That said here's the full disclosure: I haven't shot mine yet
and while I may shoot it the thing will never be 'a shooter' or carry gun for me. Safe Queen all the way with some novelty shooting here and there, perhaps. I think I'd like to shoot it just to know that the thing actually works.If it's going to be a hardcore collector item and you care about resale value... well, shooting it wouldn't be best... but who is going to know?
Right, that’s why my whole collection is NIB, only factory fired.
Here is nine beauty.

Nice! Not only does it look unfired, I don't think anyone has even worked the slide on it.
