The design of the Walther PP9 was initiated in 1994 to replace the P88 and
was finished in 1996. There where many designer's who contributed into making
the pistol, Carl Walther himself and also Horst Wesp who had previously worked
for Steyr and Glock .The pistol is housed in a polymer frame that makes it
a very light weight weapon at 630 grams. It was developed on the basis of
the latest technology for military and police use and for self defence and
can carry a large magazine of up to 16 rounds. The metal parts have had special
surface treatment (Tenifer) to provide a water proof surface to prevent corrosion.
It fits into the hand like a glove with it's ergonomic grip that was designed
by the world famous Olympic Pistol grip maker Cesare
Moroni of Italy. One of the many features of this pistol is the loaded-chamber
indicator that works with the extractor. When the chamber is empty, the extractor
is flush with the slide. When the chamber is loaded, a red mark is exposed
and the extractor is noticeably back from the outside shape of the slide.
This is very handy for bad light situations, the shooter's fingers can distinguish
the difference and thus inform them of the condition of the chamber.
The Walther P99 is a recoil operated, locked breech pistol, that used modified
Browning style locking via extraction port in the slide. It is striker fired
and has no manual safeties and three automatic safeties: Striker safety, Trigger
safety and Out of battery safety. Also, it has manual decocking button in the
rear upper part of the slide. When the first shot is made, it takes a lot longer
to fire than subsequent shots this is because of the safety designs of the
Walther PP9. The first shot is fired using the 'anti-stress trigger', which
is designed to reduce stress-related accidental discharges. Single- and double-action
modes both begin with the trigger in the forward position. Squeezing the trigger
slightly, when in single-action mode, will set it into the rear position. If
you remove your finger, the trigger will remain in the rear position. Squeezing
it further will cause the striker to fire the round in the chamber. (Right

(* Below Limited edition 007 version) The pistol is marked with the serial
number 007 as well as with the coat of arms of the Secret Service.
There is an American Version of the P99 that is partly made by Smith
and Wesson (USA civilian version). This only has a 10 round magazine.
