What is the difference between the P99 and the 40 S&W?
The .40 S&W caliber models incorporate a slightly larger slide in order to preserve the same recoil spring assembly used in its 9mm counterpart. The P99 is available in 4 colorations; a black frame with a black slide, a black frame with a titanium-coated slide, a military olive-drab frame with a black slide, and a desert tan frame with black slide.
Is the Walther P99c as’ DA/SA trigger the best ever?
On one hand, the P99c AS’ DA/SA trigger is one of the best I’ve ever seen, but on the other hand, Walther kept with the frustrating European-style paddle magazine release. While it is ambidextrous and extended for easy operation, it just doesn’t feel right to me. But like the aforementioned slide serrations, this too is no real deterrent.
Where is the Picatinny rail on a Walther P99?
Unlike many of their newer CCWs, Walther kept the integrated Picatinny rail forward of the trigger guard, parallel to the front sight. Moving to the rear, the P99 includes a nifty little manual decocker, a feature relatively uncommon for Walthers.
Why choose a Walther P99c as over a PPS M2?
Because the P99c AS functions like a PPS M2 but in a double-stack design, opting for the former just means more bullets for you! Although Walther only offers P99c magazines in one capacity, they do have a standard model as well as one with an ergonomic rest.
