Walther P99 Anti Stress 9mm 4" 15 Rd - $549.99

"WWGAL"
And I'd also suggest a good training class prior to purchasing a firearm. A gun in an untrained hand is more dangerous then not having one in the first place. I applaud you for wanting to take your safety into your own hands however.

As a loooong time Walther fan and owner of many of their firearms, as much as I might not want to admit it, you made the right choice with the VP9 (Albiet a copycat of the Walther PPQ).

The 99 "was" a great gun, back in the late 90's when it hit the civilian markets finally. However, the VP9 (PPQ) blow it away in so many regards, save one, the grip. To date, the 99 is the most in-hand comfortable gun I have ever felt and has been since I first shot one in 2000. Yeah, 16 years ago.

The 99 has a grip/frame (styling) that seems to have been copied in one way or another by more gun companies than I know anymore. Hell it even has a strong following in airsoft, or so I'm told.

Thanks i1uluz for the information. So according to you, the trigger pull weights from the description are not correct for this model?

On a side note I do own the TP9SA with the oh so controversial top slide mounted decocker button. It has not bothered me for one second. I really like the gun, it fits my hand great, has an excellent trigger and has proven very accurate and reliable so far. If you know your firearm and how to handle it, I can't see the decocker ever being an issue, but of course I have not had to use it in a high stress situation...nor will I probably ever carry it as a ccw or self defense weapon. It is so funny how some people freaked out about it, as if they are going to carry a $320 gun as a edc duty weapon to trust their life to.

I like the idea of this walther having parts inter-change ability with the Canik, if that is true. If I had known that a month ago I might have looked into this model instead of the H&K VP9 LE that I purchased, but to be honest I probably would have chose the HK anyway. The base model was recently on sale for only $10 more than this walther listing.

At this price these are steal. One of the best striker fired guns on the market.

The more you shoot it, the less you stress...lol

new to me

Hmm, never heard of this "traditional double action anti-stress trigger" wording before. Anyone feel like enlightening me? Pull weights seem to be standard, is there just less travel, creep, etc? Or are they just talking about the ergonomics of the physical trigger itself?

Also aren't all rails "custom" in the sense that you can mount whatever "custom" accessories you want on it? Is this just wordy writing or is there anything special or enhanced about this gun?

All I know is that the description is completely turning me off from even wanting to research any further into it myself... whoever they paid to write this should be fired IMO.
