Congrats Ship! You can strap on your PS90 and your FiveseveN and have 80 rounds to fire before you have to reload. :shock:

Zombies will be sorry they came to your house!

Mr Wreck, that's not a Walther! Since we are on the subject of Walthers, do you have any plans to purchase a Walther PPS Slimline 9mm or have you had a chance to look at one up close? Looks like a pretty good carry weapon since it's so slim.

TxPhantom, on your forum and others.

If I didn't have a P99 compact, I might get one. But, that is my main carry gun, and then I have a Keltec 32 for when I need something even smaller.

The size difference between the P99c and the PPS would make zero difference to me in concealability (it is the exact same size, just a tiny bit smaller). Unless it got closer to the Keltec in size, I don't feel the need to spend almost $600 on it.

It does look interesting, although I am not a fan of the QA trigger they put on the gun.

As I have my carry guns, I'm set. I never shoot small guns as well as fullsize ones anyway. So, for the purposes of having fun at the range, it's not worth me buying it either.

Appreciate it.

For a long time, I thought the gun was ugly - but it's grown on me over the past couple of months. And now that I have 1, I really like it :)
