Walther P99

I just went shooting pistols for the first time with a friend the other day. He had a Romanian knockoff of a Walther ppk that I fell in love with and was shooting dead on. I went looking for one on this web site and came across the Walther p99. How does this gun compare? Is it good for self defence and general shooting?

    I got one of the first Walther P99s that came to the US. Of course, it has that horrible hump in the trigger guard. I noticed in Guns and Ammo that the new ones don't have the hump. Here's my question: Are there enough changes in the new P99s to warrant me selling the one I have and buying a new opne, or should I take the one I have to a gun shop and have the hump surgically removed?

    I just read the thread on the P22's. Is there anything wrong with the P99's?

    Preciate it.

    Yeah. They fit really well in your hand, have a decocker for internal firing pin, and are accurate.

    I Agree, I have owned my First Generation P99AS in 9mm since 2004 and Love it. I think it is much better than a Glock
