I had originally written about being a 1911 user and trying out a P99AS. So far 500 rounds through. The first 250 were Fiochhi 124grn RNFMJ which felt like they were loaded to alomst 9MM NATO specs. They were ok, but not too pleasant. The second 250 were all 115grn WWB, and they (like the Fiochhi) functioned flawlessly. I am always skeptical about claims of accuracy. I feel it is safer (for the most part) to suggest that certain guns allow me to be more accurate than others due to various intangibles, but I have to say, this Walther really suprised me! Fifteen yard ragged one hole groups that went right to the point of aim were no problem. I had someone else shoot the gun at the same distance with the same result. I have to take exception to those who make the claim that the P99 is capable of only "combat" accuracy. I have to admit I did not expect it to shoot on par with my 1911 match guns, but it did.
So basically Walther has produced a gun of superior ergonomics with a excellent non-reflective tough finish, that (so far) seems 100% reliable, has an excellent double to single action transition, light weight, and puts 9mm rounds on target right where I put the front sight. That's about as close to total satisfaction as anyone is likely to get. Of course, I can only speak for my experiences with the piece, but I think my findings are the rule rather than the exception based on what I've heard here.
