SW99 Question

[ajaxx]

I bought this from a pawnshop. Used, but looks brand new.

.40 cal
Has Smith & Wesson on Slide and Walther on frame. Also has the decocker on top.
Serial # is SAF9xxx

Question is how old is this gun and is it a good model?

It shoots great. I put around 100 rounds thru it and it worked flawlessly

Thanks for any info

Yesterday I went out and shot my 45 SW99 for the first time. At 12 yards off hand rapid fire , one big ragged hole. Cant ask for any thing better. The only thing I noticed was it had a tight chamber like the HK USP45. The 255 grain lead pin loads I use sometimes wouldn't chamber all the way.

If it has functioned good so far, you should be fine. I've read it is a clone of the Walther P99. My P99 is my most accurate autoloader.

I have a 9mm sw99 and it is one of my favorite guns. It shoots whatever I put through it. They are very good guns.

I have the SW99 in 40 cal. I purchased new around 2001. I really like the gun, never had any issue's with it and it shoots great. Good luck with it.

I've got a brand new SW99 in 40 cal on its way in a few days. I am usually patient, but, I want it 5 minutes ago. The SW99 series is a great, but under-appreciated pistol.

It is for all intents and purposes a P99 with some cosmetic changes. The only real difference is that the SW99 comes with a lifetime warranty. I've also heard that the .40 SW99 has a better supported chamber than the .40 P99 but I haven't seen them side by side so I can't say for sure.

Can anyone tell me how old it is with the serial #?

Do you mind if I ask where you got it from? I might be interested in buying one if there's a source for brand new SW99s out there.

e S&W 99 & Walther P99 are basicaly the same gun. Both are very accurate and very reliable. I use my Waltherr P99 in IDPA. Never an issue on anything.

I got it new from CDNN for around 390. They were running a little low on the new pistols, around 3 or 4, but they still have some used ones in stock. Give CDNN a call and see if they have any new or used left. CDNN: 1-800-588-9500. I shot it for the first time yesterday and it is a great pistol, accurate, light and a nice SA trigger pull.

Night sights?

The new models have night sights, I think the used ones do, but I don't remember.

Getting off topic to my question....Can anybody tell me how old is this gun?

The gun was first released in March of 1999 with serial SAB0001. Production continued until 2004. Bruce
