Walther P99

Boris · 03-26-2016, 12:42 AM

I went back to the gun store to buy the M+P Shield but couldn't get over the awkward (for my lefty self) safety so I bought a Walther P99

,,,,I like the no safety ,de cocker and amidextorus mag release.I bought for 582 out the door,2 mags,,different sized front sights and then went and bought 75 bucks in ammo to run through it this weekend.

I bought the 9mm AS model ,,I ran 2 mags through it today and I really enjoyed shooting it.
it shoots smooth and easy,I am not at all any kind of marksman with a handgun though and it will take a while to get good with it.
I also shot a friends Smith & Wesson Shield today and didn't like it at all.
the recoil beat my hand in between my thumb and index finger and after only 8 shots it hurt,,2 15 round mags through the P99 and I didn't feel a thing except mild recoil.
It is for sure a quality firearm,,if I get my CCW and want something smaller I may go wit a PPS or

I have one they are great polymer guns. mags are expensive, get some cheap checkmate M-9 ( 92F) mags and cut a new notch for the mag catch, using the original as a guide and you got a cheap range mag and save the originals
