I am looking to purchase my first (and only) "combat" 9mm. Seeing that I will only have one pistol, I want it to be capable of fast and accurate double-taps. I'm looking for rapid-acqusition sights, excellent controllability, and a short trigger with a fast reset. Basically, I am looking for a concealable, compact, stock service pistol chambered in 9mm that would make a good IDPA gun.
Having rented everything under the sun for the past year and a half, my favorites are the Glock 19 and the Walther P99AS.
Some doubts I have about the Walther: 1)Its different trigger types; while I am in love with the SA trigger I would think that the first DA shot would take some getting used to. Does only having one trigger to learn make a huge difference in performance? 2)I am slightly concerned that the location of its mag release. Do you feel it would be difficult to manipulate the release rapidly without changing my shooting grip.
With the Glock, I don't mind the 'fattiness' of its grip; but 1)it does not feel as comfortable as the Walther does. 2) While I feel the trigger is good, I don't find it nearly as nice as the Walther's.
I will be comparing the two side-by-side for my next range visit. Assuming both fit your hand, could you highlight which of the two you would pick to meet my criteria and why? I am looking for feedback from unbiased shooters who have shot both firearms enough to formulate an opinion.
Thanks ahead of time and I'm anxiously awaiting you responses!
