Yes yours is a Gen 3. If you buy the threaded barrel version PPQ then your stuck with the M2 button mags. They only make the newer threaded barrel PPQ's in the Navy model with the damn button mag release.
They only made one PPQ with paddle mag lever and threaded barrel called the PPQ First Edition.
I literally just received my P99 yesterday and while my mags are fully interchangeable I found a difference in the older PPQ barrel and the new style ones. My older FAYxxx serial number P99 has a spare PPQ threaded barrel also in the FAYxxx range and works perfectly. I tried the threaded barrel in my newer FCHxxx serial number PPQ and it will not work in it.
Basically from what I have read and see first hand is that newer barrels works fine in older guns P99/PPQ/PPQ-M2 but older barrels won't work in newer guns. I believe the cutoff serial number was FCAxxx. Once I look into this deeper I will update this information.
Hope this helps. Also I love my P99 way more than the PPQ so far! After shooting it this morning.

I was just looking at this, dang it! I want the paddles...definitely buying an M1 PPQ.
Thank you for the information!
I definitely love the P99...I don't feel like it gets nearly enough love from the general community. I just can't pass up the PPQ with the current $100 off...I'm even thinking about getting an M2 PPS and this price!
I had my Glock 19 stolen recently, so I've been looking to replace it with another one, but now I'm thinking maybe the PPQ can be the replacement, at $150 less with the cash back rebate!
