Walther p99 versus ppq5/30/2023 The release of their own PPQ (Police Pistol, Quick action), and the resulting response from competitors in the market, also making fully cocked, single action striker fired pistols made more of a connection with the “lighter and faster trigger = better” crowd. In my own opinion, (of the exact value I charge for it), timing of development, and lack of effective marketing lead to confusion and disappointment from many who expected the trigger to be more like a Glock. The trigger system is the most misunderstood and unique parts of this pistol. The P99AS (AS being short for Anti-Stress trigger), was developed as a duty pistol, plain and simple. It didn’t help my cause when importation really slowed in favor of importing the PPQ, as most striker fired pistol fans focused on shorter, lighter trigger pulls and short, trigger resets, to cut their split times in competition. I’ve had this pistol on my list to to buy if I came across one that was not criminally priced and in good condition, for quite a few years.
