| I keep watching 007 and the P99 has this cool CDI factor, but I don't see it anywhere very often: you're always seeing sigs, glocks, 1911's galor but you don't see P99s. Why? Is there something undesirable about them? I'm just a little confused, if somebody could help me figure this out it would be great! Thanks! |
I'll take a shot at it: 1. They cost a bit more than Glocks. The magazines generally cost more as well. 2. S&W is the primary distributor in the US, and makes the US version in .45ACP (and US versions in 9MM and .40S&W also, IIRC). Not that there is a conflict here, but they also make other guns that directly impact the P99 market also.  .3. The mag release throws some people off. 4. The different trigger options confuse some people. 5. It's a polymer-framed gun. If 1 - 4 doesn't queer the deal, this might. If you can get past all the above, they're good (and largely under-rated) guns.
