I will be using it for defense and maybe target shooting.

Excellent pistol, expected German top quality. Make sure you get one without that stupid bump in the bottom of the trigger guard. Also, is the accessory rail up front a standard size or do you need a specific Walther accessory to fit on the rail? Standard size is much better. After years of making their pistols way too expensive Walther is making a comeback it seems.

The Walther P99 is an excellent weapon so is the Glock 19 If you can't have both keep the Glock it's paid for and good to go.

I own an early version of the sw99 (same thing, many of the parts are made in germany). I love it. I have big hands and the replaceable backstrap makes it so I can at least get some contact with my left hand. The double action first shot means you can use it as production in competition and get a NICE single action trigger on following shots. It is easy to field strip and I have not seen too many ~4'' barrels that are that accurate. Aside from when I made some bad reloads it has never jammed. I also do not clean my gun after everytime I go shooting. You will find that you can get cheap 17 round mags. I had a G19 also and found that my 99 fit perfectly in everything but my Kydex holster (the 99 is a little shorter). I found it even concealed well.

The Walther P99 is a 9mm or .40 S&W high quality pistol, carried by utilising James Bond initiating in the following day never Dies, jointly as the Walther P22 is a .22 long Rifle high quality, which I surely have shot and it relatively is my opinion that the P22 is a cushty shooting, staggering little plinker.

The Walther is an excellent pistol, for some reason though I just don't particularly favor them. Nothing bad against them just me I guess.
I would go with a Heckler & Koch USP. They are very realiable guns and are put through the most strenous durability tests.
But by all means, the Walther is an execellent choice.

Walthers and Smith & Wesson have joined up, and the gun was manufactured as the S&W 990L series as late as 2006, it is not listed in the 2007 S&W catalog. Walthers have a reputation for making good guns, but I have no experience with this model.

I have never fired one but a buddy of mine has one in .40 and likes it. I really do not care for the design myslef, but Walther makes quality products. Go for it. I am curious about your Glock. Did the trigger design get to you? I really do not like the Glock trigger.

A friend of mine had a 99 QA in .40. Expect for the fact I do not like .40s it was a great gun. Very good choice.
