Back around 2005 to around 2009, the P99 was my favorite handgun. I even helped sell almost 20 of them between local people I knew, and people I knew online. Fantastic gun. But, I got the Beretta bug again around 2008, and I shifted back to that platform. I eventually sold my P99s (I've owned 4 or 5 of them back then).

Anyway, I have come close to picking one up again over the past 2 years. Buds has a great sale right now, so I could not resist. I ordered it a week and a half ago, and it came in last Wed. I finally got to go shoot it today.

GREAT gun. It is a little more flippy than some 9mms, because they made the gun so light. But that A/S trigger - wow. I shoot the gun even better than my Berettas. I put some JHP rounds thru it too. It is now my new carry gun. I will alternate between my Hk P2000 and this P99.

I love that the P99 A/S is DA/SA. But, the DA pull is lighter than the DA pull on the HK. I put like 8 rounds thru 1 hole at one point. It is nice to carry a fullsize gun again. I had to stop carrying the 92FS a few years back, because it was just too heavy with my back problems. But this gun weighs about the same as the Hk P2000.

Anyway, very happy with the gun




The gun with a Hogue Jr grip I put on it Monday:

Sweet man. I passed up a two tone Gen 1 at the Tulsa gunshow about four months ago, for $350, I've been kicking myself every since.

Great gun. I have a P99c and love it. I heard that the P99's were on the list to be discontinued....could be just a rumor, but your post made me think again about getting one while I still can. Congrats.

Yes, it looks like they are doing something. Discontinued or not, it's still a great gun. I just ordered one of them for $339.00 even though I didn't "need" it. Couldn't pass up that price point.

One of my favorites also.

Could you please share the info as to where you ordered from? If any stock left I'd love to order one as well! Thanks.

I just ordered mine from Shoot Straight Gun Store out of Florida for $339 plus shipping- fast shipping.

Thanks!

I had one in .40.
I loved the gun, but hated the chambering.

Yes, it is not fun to shoot in 40. In 9mm, it is excellent

One of the best polymer guns in the world. LOVE the P99 AS!!

I had the S&W version. I regret selling it.

I love my P99.

The P99 was my first handgun purchase many years ago. Congrats on your purchase.

Rumor or not, that price was so good, I had to make a purchase. Got my P99c AS last week. The main challenge was picking / finding a good leather holster. -Marue

Congrats on your new acquisition.
I like the striker fired Walthers.
Currently shoot P99as, PPQ and classic PPS, all 9mm.

I love my P99s. Bought my first what, 17 years ago? I think that's right. It is an OD framed 9mm. A few years ago I picked up another OD framed P99 in 40. They are sweet for sure. Congrats on your new one!

if they do plan to discontinue them, they sure did have a lot of them on display at the Walther booth at shot.

I have the P99C. Excellent gun!

Thanks guys
