Walther P99 Collection Update, August 2021

Growing bigger every day. :)

[@longwang8307]

It's because when clambering a round the breech has the case to slow down and cushion the impact you're basically damaging the lockup when falling on an empty chamber

[@honeym5558]

but how damaging are? does it affect the performance? gun still reliable?

[@TheMultiGunMan]

You've got a great collection.

[@noilens2017]

You're god damn lucky guy In these moments i wanna live in the USA just to be the owner of this beautiful thing

[@p90man]

Great p99 videos!

[@FreedomsLife1776]

The droppin the slide on an empty chamber taboo is from 1911s: which it will damage. Polymer frame pistols it’s not an issue.

[@boonker2k]

once again humbly requesting an update 🙏

[@Kegel_Destroyer]

Random question. My Walther P99 AS full size is my first gun/EDC. I am looking into getting a P99c. will my current fullsize holsters work with the compact version? Thanks.

[@jeffreyelliott622]

I have only the two Walther P99 Gen 1's in 9mm the QPQ model and the OD Green model as well one for each hand is enough for me !!!

[@CREEPINGIRON]

In terrible times like these where Walther has now discontinued these well loved P99s, maybe it's time to address that with a new video.

[@ruggedmeetsrefined5345]

No Walther P99 TA? Weeeeeaaaak. Lol jk very jealous of your collection. Would love to know who the handful who got their hands on a P99 TA are.

[@boonker2k]

can you do a collection update Im in love w the p99s

[@charliekilo8944]

How hard is it to find a Gen 1? I'd love to get my hands on one.

[@steyrproof]

Had it been re-oiled in the past 21 years? Looks in great shape.

[@rukiyamohamed4700]

You forgot the LIMITED one in one thousand edition

[@ThisWhiteGuy]

God im im struggling to find agen 3 p99 and gen 3 p99c again. Sold my last p99c 2 years ago...

[@k9almighty777]

I’m about to get one right now😁Trading got that and another 9 mm for a glock 21 gen 3🤷🏾‍♂️ rather have 2 compact and I’ll buy a better new glick

[@coreturkoane5570]

Nice collection...is this pistol still being made?

[@reker.a5790]

Yes

[@mikeromero8704]

I got a gen 1 in qpq and a p99c. Interested?

[@servicerifle16]

Is the chrome slide factory? On GB I saw a Gen 1 9mm with one. Also has anyone converted that Walther video into digital yet?

[@Speedogg138]

Both Titanium are factory. I ripped the video to digital from a VHS, but can't post it for copyright reasons. :(

[@servicerifle16]

@@Speedogg138 Sorry, I meant I saw one listed as "Chrome" on GB. It was probably a QPQ model since the slide wasn't marked.

[@burmiester1]

Just curious, do you collect SW99s too? If I had a P99 collection I would want a few.

[@Speedogg138]

I do not. I may get one, but I really don't like the look of them. I really hate the fact that people try and pass them off as "basically the same." Not by a long shot. I think I'd rather have a Canik.

[@burmiester1]

@@Speedogg138 I believe Walther did make the frame in Germany iirc. What about the Magnum Research MR9? I think Walther made those frames too. Hopefully at some point you'll get all your P99s and have to start going after clones haha

[@Speedogg138]

@@burmiester1 They did make the frames, I just don't like the looks of them. The MR9 is like the Canik in my view.

[@burmiester1]

@@Speedogg138 Fair haha

[@RichiesHouse]

@@Speedogg138 the mr9 was a collaboration with magnum research and Walther. The frame is simply a Walther frame with full rails and slightly different looks of exterior of pistol grip . The mags are interchangeable. The slides are stainless steel . Uppers are interchangeable as well . Great collection. Worth picking up used just for the frame .

[@AirSofter131995]

People suggest you don't let the slide drop on an empty chamber because of the stress it can cause on certain types of pistol frames. The 1911 being a good example. You'd be correct in saying that under firing conditions, the slide is dealing with significantly more backward pressure. The recoil springs are designed to handle that load. During the process of picking up a new round from the magazine and chambering it, a fair amount of forward moment is absorbed through friction - softening the impulse between the moving slide and frame during its move forward. That is where the potential damage can occur when you drop the slide on an empty chamber (with certain firearms). I've never had this issue with any of my polymer-frame striker pistols, but you'd never catch me doing this with aluminum-frame handguns

[@DylanHunter64]

Is there any actual evidence of this? Sounds like hog wash that it could ever cause any actual damage.
