So I am a big SIG lover and never even gave Walther a second thought. I already own a Glock 19 Gen 2 and a SP2022 9MM as far as poly pistols. I REALLY like my SP2022 and don't need another poly 9MM pistol but I can't get the Walther out of my head so I think I am going to have to buy one sometime soon in 9MM. I really wanted to like the HK P30 and would have bought one if I could shoot is at least almost as good as my SIGs but no dice - the trigger just does not do it for me but nice pistol otherwise.
My son graduated college last year and I gave him some stash to buy himself some nice things and one day he comes home with a Walther P99 AS in .40. Hmm I said still not that interested in it other than I thought it looked REALLY cool and then at the range he asks me if I want to try it and I say sure. Then after the first 12 rounds I ever put through it he laughed and thought I missed the target all together except for a couple rounds at 25 feet. Then I reeledl the target in and dang - not a bad group at all the the very FIRST try with the P99. I though the recoil was a little bit much and would prefer a 9MM myself. After trying his P99 AS a couple more times it never failed to impress me and ever since I am really thinking I want a P99 AS or PPQ for myself in 9MM. The grip on the P99 was also the most comfortable I have ever held including the P30 in comparison. Then there is that wonderful price on a new P99/PPQ - for a German proofed pistol of high quality that used to sell for quite a bit more but now around $550 - $570.
So I have to ask what have been your experiences with the Walter P99 and the PPQ?? Have you found them to be one of your more accurate pistols to shoot? How do you consider the recoil/muzzle flip compared to other pistols you have tried in 9MM? How do you find the trigger as I find it to be simply oustanding/amazing?? Has you P99/PPQ been reliable and durable? How do you consider quality/fit/finish to be overall? What else do you like or not like??
Also I am especially interested in hearing about experiences, good or bad, with the new Walther PPQ and what your preference may be compared to the P99 AS including ergonomics, accuracy, and trigger??
Thanks!!
Very FIRST time ever trying the P99 AS.
