I just went shooting pistols for the first time with a friend the other day. He had a Romanian knockoff of a Walther ppk that I fell in love with and was shooting dead on. I went looking for one on this web site and came across the Walther p99. How does this gun compare? Is it good for self defence and general shooting?

  Besides the hump inside the trigger guard, the biggest change by far is in the equipment "rail". The earlier "Walther" P99 had their own generic grooves for mounting accessories, while the new re-design uses the more common/universal weaver/piccatiny style, like Glock, Beretta, Springfield and everybody else, including Walther's counterpart S&W S99. If the "wart" bothers you, remove it rather than buying a new gun, but make sure you do not create too much room under the trigger that you could "jamm" your finger in between.

  Thanks Rad. It's really a great gun. I just don't like the blister I get form the hump.
