Walther P99 and Hi-Power range time!

[Smith]

FINALLY! got to the range to puts some rounds through both of these beauties. The Walther did not disappoint and was everything I had hoped it would be. This is my second one and the accuracy of my first was proved with my second. Sucker shoots straight. It did frustrate me a little at first till I realized I needed to adjust the rear sight a little left. Once that was done, it was good to go. Ergo? What can I say, best I've ever held. Reliability? So far not a problem. I did do the striker spring trick to lighten the 8 lb pull and it helped it quite a bit. The reset is quick, as advertised, but somewhat long. It's not a Glock or M&P reset, but works good enough for me. It should also improve with a couple hundred more rounds.

The HP? What can I say? It is an HP. Shot like it was supposed to and removing the mag disconnect and adding the C&S wide combat trigger is mandatory IMO. Had a little take up and I'm told there isn't much that can be done with that, but the break and reset were excellent. BTW - this is my third and the abbreviated spur hammer works! My first (FEG PJK-9HP ring hammer) bit the fire out of my hand. This one was great! Sadly it sold just after I got home. At least I got to shoot it before it went to pay for the new AC unit.

All in all it was a fun day. I was also reminded how perishable shooting skills are. It's been about 4 months since I got to shoot last and I had lost nearly all the improvements I had made. Came back somehwhat quick, but it made me rather sad.

What caliber is the P99? What action does it have? I have a SW99QA in .40S&W.

I love my P99,I have the P99AS and its got a real good trigger on it,don't think they make them with the AS trigger anymore. Mines in 40cal. Love it!

Mine is a 9mm QA. I thought S&W only made them in DAO. The QA is a little different than the DAO or S&W.

Mostly what you find is the AS. It took about 6 months before i could find a black 9mm QA. I could find OD green framed ones and plenty of AS triggers but not black QA. Had something to do with their military contracts mainly using the AS.

I have 2 QA's they other day i was playing with an AS and i did like the trigger reset on it super short.After that i want my next p99 to be a 9mm AS. with the HP you can take it to a gun smith and they can do wonders to it, the take up on mine is minimal and the break it very crisp.

My SW99QA is also DAO. After what I have read about the AS trigger, I wish that is what I had! Both the SW and Walther have awesome ergonomics!
