I've been having pretty good luck with the S&W series as of late, so I decided to stick with it. If I had the choice, I probably would have opted for the 9mm, but it is what is. I don't mind shooting .40, but it's always about the ammo, etc.
A little about the pistol.....
I find this feature unique: The pistol lacks a manual safety; instead a de-cocking button is placed on the top rear section of the slide, which when actuated, places the firearm into double-action mode
The SW99 rendition of the popular Walther P99 is a joint collaboration between Smith & Wesson and Walther. The modified receiver used in the SW99 is supplied by Walther and is manufactured in Germany. Smith & Wesson manufactures the slide and barrel of the SW99 in the United States. Though there are slight variations in aesthetic design, the function of the SW99 is identical to its German-made counterpart
This version of the pistol has a double/single action; it shares the same "Anti-Stress" trigger action as the P99 AS. (WIKIPEDIA)
Not sure when these were out of production /discontinued. Doing a little bit of research, through the serial number, I believe this pistol was manufactured around 2004?? Guesstimation on my part. Range session on Monday..
Done....
