Didn't want to muddy up the PPQ thread, so...
Been looking into a subcompact gun lately, and since I carry a G19 and also have a 17, the 26 is the obvious choice for several reasons (holsters, mags, etc.). But…after reading the PPQ thread, I looked at Walther’s lineup, mainly because I’d just never paid much attention to them. The P99 compact looks interesting. Some quick googling seems to indicate the P99 is good quality, no major issues, just kind of a sleeper here in the US. I’ve had the itch to try something different (especially something German), and it looks like CDNN has the P99 CQA for under $500, so for the sake of argument tell me about the P99, especially the compact.
I know holsters and sights will be limited; will full size P99 holsters work with the compact? Full size magazines?
What are the triggers like? Seems the AS system is preferred, but the QA is more Glockish? This gun would have to be run alongside my Glocks, so if the triggers are completely different that may be a deal breaker. Right now I’m running the “-“/NY1 combo if that matters.
Any other info or things to look out for?
