Walther P99 AS in 9mm

Just jailed a Walther P99 As on 08/01. Now the wait begins before I can qualify with it and add it to my CCW.

Thanks for the twitter type update.Be sure to let us know when you actually pick it up.

Oh, you will really like the P99 AS. Great SA pull, short reset.

It's a fantastic gun. It never got the recognition it deserved. But at least there was a bright side to that... I managed to score a second one for a pretty good deal.

Did you get the newest generation with the longer mag release lever and no ski ramp in the trigger guard, or the original one?

Trigger seems smoother on the latest generation. Really a shame it never got more attention. I love the AS trigger mechanism and striker decocker. Trigger reset is wonderful also. Only negative I can say about them is they seem a bit more "muzzle flippy" than other pistols.

As far as I know it is a newer one. I purchased it new from OC Firearms. When did those changes happen?

The info might be a little bit dated but there's some info about the P99's revisions over the years here: http://www.gunfaqs.org/P99FAQ/index.html

You got he newer generation then if you purchased it new. The older gen, with the ski hump in the trigger guard, had slightly better visual appeal to me, but the newer gen is more comfortable to shoot and has a smoother trigger IMO. The old style trigger guard with the hump pinches my finger occasionally. They are really a fantastic pistol.
