Same experience here. I have a P99 AS with ambi slide stop lever (just like the PPQ) and factory glow in the dark steel sights. It is my nightstand gun and I shot more than 5000 rounds with it with no malfunctions at all. Inside it looks like it shot 500 rounds. Outside it is like new.I much prefer the P99AS. The decock feature makes it the only modern polystriker that I own. For a carry gun, I also appreciate the paddle mag release that minimizes the chance of inadvertent activation.

I don't think the PPQ is going to offer you a significantly different experience than your VP9. Both have excellent triggers.
Michael A. Ferber: Is it a tentative Carry gun?
My only Walther is a new P99 AS.
As with .455_Hunter, it is my only polymer handgun, and only striker-fired handgun. It complements my three Sig P6/P225 ('87), and CZ PCR.
The choices of DA or SA (two modes of SA) for the first shot give it such a unique character, with a very nice SA pull - and reset - for those who are Trigger Connoissieurs. Excellent ergos in general, as you know.
As a carry gun, if you are incapable of making a mistake during a harshly abrupt spike of extremely high stress, the SA-only Walther PPQ (or many other SA brands) could be the perfect 9mm handgun for so many people.
This video is for whoever 'out there' might not have seen any comparison.
His DA mode begins at 5:23. It has less DA trigger 'stacking'/tension increase, than what I found on the HK USPs or P30. Both types of Walther--in this video-- are normally all-black.
Alas, the P99AS would actually be perfect for me, but they are so hard to come by.
You heard right. They are also a bargain, I paid under $420 for mine and 3 mags were included. I have the 4 inch M1. The paddle mag release is very intuitive and I like that it is fully ambidextrous. It is a very nice shooter as well, very easy to control.I hear they are excellent pistols with a great trigger.
Funny, that’s what I think every time my boss walks in my office.Long live the dingus!
