Design work on this new generation sidearm began in 1994, and the handgun was presented in 1997 with series production commencing that same year. The weapon was first introduced chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, subsequently; a version in .40 S&W was also developed primarily for the American market and unveiled in 1998. The pistol is used by the German Police of some federal states of Germany, the Polish Police and the Finnish Army's special forces and military police, where it carries the designation PIST 2003 (Pistooli 2003).[1] Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (1740x1321, 1206 KB) Walther P99 chambered for 9x19mm round, green polymer frame File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): Pistol Semi-automatic firearm Walther P99 User:LoganK User...

Design details
The P99 uses an internal striker as opposed to an external hammer, with a red-painted striker tip that protrudes from rear of the slide when the gun is cocked, as well as a chamber loaded indicator on the right side of the slide. It also features four internal safeties, a decocking button, sights adjustable for both windage and elevation, tool-less takedown, accessory rail, interchangeable grip backstraps of varying sizes for different users, and an ambidextrous magazine release incorporated into the trigger guard. The firing pin is a very hard steel rod with a one small, rounded end for striking the primer of a cartridge. ...

Redesign A redesigned P99 was presented in 2004, incorporating a modified trigger guard that eliminated the "ski hump", which is clearly visible in the accompanying images. This was done to address some users' comfort concerns regarding the previous style. Walther also took the opportunity to redesign the slide so the user could grip it more easily, and notably, change the proprietary accessory rail to a Weaver type. Some models built in 2005 and all later models received one more design change, an elongated magazine release. A Weaver rail mount (Picatinny type) is a system to connect peripheral accessories to rifles, shotguns, pistols, archery bows, etc. ...
Variants
P99AS (Anti-stress) Single/Double action. Prior to 2004 there was no designation for the double action trigger which Walther now markets as the P99AS ("anti-stress") trigger. It is called anti-stress because the trigger pull is the same length for the first shot, regardless of single or double-action. In this way, the anti-stress trigger functions as a sort of two-stage trigger, and lessens the possibility of stress-induced negligent discharges. A negligent discharge(ND) is the Canadian Armys official term for the accidental discharging of a weapon. ...
P99DAO (Double-action only) The P99DAO was previously produced as the P990.
P99QA (Quick-action) Glock style action with preloaded striker (shorter, lighter pull). The P99QA was announced in 2000. Glock is an Austrian weapons manufacturer (named after the founder Gaston Glock) founded in 1963 in Deutsch-Wagram, near Vienna, Austria. ...
P99C (Compact) Compact version of the P99 available in the 3 preceding action types.
Limited editions Walther has also created several limited production runs of the P99 including: - MI-6 (James Bond) a marketing tie-in with the new James Bond movies
- La Chasse (hunting)
- Year 2000 (Millennium)

Smith & Wesson SW99 Closely related to the P99, the Smith & Wesson SW99 is a joint venture between Walther, who produces a modified receiver in Germany, and Smith & Wesson, who fabricates the slides and barrels in the United States. Magazines can be interchanged between the two variants, but the pistols are considered to be two separate types, and are easily distinguished from each other by the trigger guard, slide design and, reputedly, in performance as well. The SW99 is also available in .45 ACP, while the P99 is not. The P99 was developed and introduced prior to the SW99. Some users have indicated incompatibility between early generation SW99 10round .40 mags and .40 P99's. Walther addressed this problem by introducing a color coding system to the magazine to denote which generation they are. The latest generation is bright blue. This article needs cleanup. ...

All 9mm P99's are completely German made however some of the components of the p99 .40 may be US made by S&W. N over Eagle proof stamps present in 3 locations: barrel, slide and polymer frame indicate 100% German manufacture. An Eagle without N stamp indicated US origins for that part. Although almost all currently available Walther P99s carry the proof mark "SMITH & WESSON Springfield, MA" on the forward front of the slide, this only denotes importation by Smith & Wesson (currently the official importer) and not that it was manufactured by them. An "eagle over N" proof mark on the frame, barrel and slide is present on all German made P99s.
