Excellent deal if you like the gun. A pretty good deal even if you don't like the gun!

I think the Walther P99 is one of the best striker fired pistols ever and the S&W versions of it are as well. In fact S&W's Lifetime Service Policy was eventually adopted by Walther but raised to be a Lifetime Warranty.

The P99 is one of the very few striker fired pistols with repeat strike capability as consequence of its DA/SA design. Decocking puts the gun in double action mode. The trigger reset is very short and it's an accurate shooting pistol.

Here's a S&W .45 Caliber version of the P99:

Hope you don't mind, but I'm on a mini-crusade. There's no Smith at (@) Wesson, just a Smith and (&) Wesson. Your new gun looks great, let us know how it shoots.
