Well, I've owned my P99 AS 9mm for just over a week and have fired a total of 350-rounds down range and can finally arrive at an informed opinion. My first outing, on New Years Day, consisted of 200 trouble-free rounds of WWB. Today, I shot another 150-rounds of WWB without a single issue. This pistol is simply accurate and reliable.
To test how accurate and user friendly the pistol was, I allowed my ten year old son to shoot the pistol. Prior to him shooting the Walther, he has shot Sigs, M&Ps and too many Glocks to mention. His first shots were dead center on an IDPA target, recording all -0's for his first five rounds. He never once flinched during an estimated 70-rounds total through the pistol. He couldn't quit shooting the pistol and commented that it was his favorite of all my collection.
I decided to see just how well the pistol fit me, firing two magazines of 15-rounds as fast as I could draw a sight picture and recorded 30-rounds in the center of an IDPA target far quicker than I can with my Glock 34.
I simply love this pistol and am considering the P99 in .40 S&W. But then again, there's that new PPS. I cannot tell you all how much I enjoy this P99 AS. It is a wonderful, well built, and accurate piece of machinery. Why I waited so long to pick one up I'll never know, they simply shoot circles around my other pistols and are very pleasing to shoot.
