Hey all, I just got back from the local store and took a look at the walther p99 and the h&k p30L, both in 9mm. I really liked the way both of them feel and possibly the HK more. Although I did like the trigger pull on the p99 better. the hk seemed a lot harder and longer, would that lighten up after a few hundred rounds? Anyway I was wondering what yall thought of each one and which you would choose for various reasons? I feel that both are very good and will be worth the money, just having trouble deciding which I really want. Any info and opinions is helpful thanks guys. y'all seem to have really good advice.
 
I have a P99 and P99c - both in A/S. And, I have shot a P30L.

Both guns are very accurate. I find the P99's trigger to be better.

I have 3 other HK'S - the triggers do not get any lighter over time.

You will see future responses that say to get 1 or the other. And, some stories of why one sucks or the other sucks. This comes up by some people in any comparison between certain guns. Nature of the net I guess.

Either gun is awesome. Get the one you like the best,

I'll echo Shipwreck's advice. The Walther is nice, I owned one (no particular reason why I got rid of it). As for the P30L, I simply love the P30 line. Top notch ergos and great accuracy. By the one that YOU like, not what we like.
 
Which one i like

I realize that I am the one to make the decision, and that I need the one that I am more comfortable with. Which is why I ask for opinions and experiences. That way I might be swayed one way or the other due to the fact I can't make up my mind. Thanks thus far.
 
I like that the P99 has user changable sights - you can adjust and replace the sights with night sights - and you need not use a gunsmith.

The gun is also very accurate too. The P99 is one of my fav handguns of all time
 
Sooo many guns so little time

Can't speak for the HK, however I purchased a P99 about two months ago and I really like it. The grip is better than any other gun I've picked up and it runs flawlessly! Wish I could find a small carry gun with this kind of feel.
 
P99c

Do you know how the 99c compares to the PPS? I picked one up (PPS) at Gander Mountain and was not impressed. Same with the Ruger SR9. My P99AS seems to have a different grip than the 99c.
