SW99 questions..

Hello folks,

It's been a while since I've been back here but today I would like to ask for some opinions and advises if you all don't mind.

This morning I went to my LGS to look at MP9's, I've been after this project for about 2 months, so this is it. So, I'm ready to do the papers work & DROS.

Suddenly, my eyes caught this SW99's on the bottom of the glass case, I asked to see this PRE-OWNED pistol. WOW..the grips just melted in my hands & all controls are just perfect for me. Overall condition is MINT. Asking price is $400.

Now, I'm confused. Pre-owned SW99's vs. MP9's NIB $569. It's not all about savings money, but this SW99's calling me

. Btw, I'm in California, sometimes we don't get all the fun toys.

Would someone please be so kind and chime in, tell me about these two fine semi-auto ( performance, recoil, user friendly..etc. Loved it , if I could I would get both.

I had SW 4506, 3913NL, Walther PPK/S before but sold all due to 1911's bugs. Now I wanted to try a polymer 9's.

Thank you all in advance & I really hope to make this deal very soon.

The SW99 has been a great pistol in my experience. It has been reliable and accurate. Also, it originally came with 3 different back straps to fit your grip. If the one on there already fits your hand, you won't need to worry about that though. On the other hand the M&P is also a nice pistol. You won't go wrong with either one, however, as the SW99 isn't made anymore and the M&P series will be around for a while, I would personally give the SW99 a try first, especially with the price difference.
