Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't like it. I really hate the direction Walther is heading. The new P99, the P99 compact, the G22 rifle.....BLECH.
Anyone know how durable walthers are corrosion resistant wise? I want a gun i can carry while washing my car, or leave in the bathroom while taking a shower.
Will the Walther require little maintenance like the Glock? Any reports of rusting?
BTW, how is the Walther trigger compared to the Glocks?

The older looks better, but the new one is more practical for a service pistol. The larger trigger guard has more space for gloved finger, and the slide catch is ambidextrous.
I, for one, am glade to see that "hump" inside the triggerguard go. That thing hurts my fiingers when I fire my .40 (it doesn't become noticeable with my 9mm).
Just so everyone understands, take a look at the catalog on your own before leaping to a condemnation. Walther Defense Catalog 2004
The new slide stop is only on the QA and DAO. It looks different because it is ambidextrious. The AS (which is most like the majority sold today), retains the left sided slide release. On the AS, the major changes are useable rails, a deletion of the trigger guard hump, and the love it or hate it revision to the slide serrations. There also seems to be a mild reconfiguring of the lines of the slide itself.
It really doesn't matter to me, as I am one of those in the minority that prefers the look of the SW99 anyways. I like curves more than angles.
