More Information ^*

The Walther P99 is a pistol made in Germany by Walther Sportwaffen.

The design of the P99 was initiated in 1994, and a handgun was presented in 1996. The main goal was to develop a new, modern-style police and self-defense handgun that incorporated all the latest developments and would cost less than its predecessor - the Walther P88, which did not achieve any significant commercial success, mainly due to high prices. Walther has also created several limited production runs of the P99 including MI-6 (James Bond), La Chasse (hunting), and Year 2000 (Millennium) editions.

The P99 uses an internal striker as opposed to an external hammer, with a red-painted striker tip that protrudes from rear of the slide when the gun is cocked, as well as a chamber loaded indicator on the right side of the slide. It also features four internal safeties, a decocking button, sights adjustable for both windage and elevation, tool-less takedown, accessory rail, interchangeable grip inserts of varying sizes for different users, and an ambidextrous magazine release incorporated into the trigger guard. A redesigned P99 was presented in 2004, incorporating a modified trigger guard that eliminated the "ski hump", which is clearly visible in the accompanying images. This was done to address some users comfort concerns regarding the previous style. Walther also took the opportunity to redesign the slide so the user could grip it more easily, and notably, change the proprietary accessory rail to a Weaver type. Some models built in 2005 and all later models received one more design change, an elongated magazine release.
