Walther P99 AS experiences Login/Join

I had a chance to shoot a Walther P99 about a year ago. I started with high expectations, however I was soon a little disappointed.
The reason? I did not feel it shot as well as the P88 (Late 80s, early 90s full-size version).
I didn't feel the trigger was as smooth with the same predictable break. It could be a simple as the P88 just fitting my hand better. To verify, a week later, I took the P88 out (same ammo) and found I shot faster and more accurate than the P99. I attributed it to the trigger.

There are a few variations on the P99. The variant I had a question on was the "AS", AntiStress trigger version which is quite different than the standard P99. Thanks for your feddback though Wink

I am afraid I dont follow. Does a glock get up, move about, and attack whilly nilly? Or are you saying that it is dangerous to store a gun with out a holster when it could be flopping around in a bag.



Sorry I was not clear. I feel the Glock system REQUIRES a holster to be safely stored loaded. The Walther P99 AS when de-cocked is as safe as a loaded revolver. You have a greater sense of safety. And it IS safer. That was the point I was attempting to make.

Just for the record if either are stored properly a holster will not be necessary. If either are carried or haphazardly stored they should have triggers covered or be unloaded/unchambered. IMO.
