I've been looking for a 9mm range pistol and I am convinced the P99 is one of the best , if not the best. I, however, can't find one. My lgs has none, and doesn't think they can get one.

it all boils down to shootability. the fantastic ergonomics make it one of the best guns to handle. the different trigger mechanisms are both great but it will be your own preference. i bought the QA because of its uniform, med-weight trigger pull, and decocking feature. a lot more people like the AS version for its easy DA/SA style.

the walther brand has been around a long time and though its not as common as Glock or Springfield [because of lack of marketing and exposure in USA] it is still instantly recognizable worldwide. i could have easily gotten a glock19 or xd9 for cheaper prices but the look/feel of the P99 sold me. i had to have it or otherwise i wouldnt be happy. i already plan to get the AS version not even 2 months into ownership of the QA. make no mistake, the cost of things will add up once u buy extra mags, lasers, night sights, grips, and/or ammo.

ultimately its your choice.
