Walther P99 - best grip

I recently purchased a Walther P99 in 9mm and have to say it has the most comfortable grip of all handguns! It comes standard with two other backstraps in the event the factory standard doesn't fit. Yes, I love my 1911 but dating this German sweetheart on the side can't be wrong.

Anyone else ever held a P99?

handgun stocks

Sam,

You've raised an important issue here! I've sold several semi-autos because the stocks just didn't feel right in my hand -- and they definitely affected my shooting. I like the feel of the S&W Sigma and M&P stocks but have only owned a Sigma. The stocks were nice but the gun was a dog and I sold it. Most recently, I test fired a Ruger SP9 and like its feel. However, I don't shoot 9mms, and would like to see a Ruger in 40S&W. Never held P99 but will look for an opportunity to fire one. No problem with 1911 stocks -- they feel great to me.

Many years ago, I had the same problem with revolvers. Owned a Colt and two S&Ws in 357 -- all with wooden stocks and big, flaring butts. Not only could I not shoot them well, but they hurt my hand as well (with hot loads). After some more false tries, I discovered Pachmayr Gripper rubber stocks and now have them on all my revolvers.
