WTS - S&W SW99 9mm $300

I hate to do this, but I've just been told that my house renovation is going to cost 20K more than what we initially expected, so the guns have got to go.


SW99AS (DA/SA) Gun is used but in VGC. It's very similar to the M&P ergos but with a DA/SA trigger. The DA is a bit long and heavy for my tastes, but the SA trigger is excellent; next to the 1911s, it's the best SA trigger of any of the guns I own. Comes with case and two 10rnd mags.

What the dimensions on this? Would you recommend this as a good reliable concealed weapon?

Did you check out my review of CCW pistols? The SW99 is almost exactly the same size as the M&P, but a little lighter. I have not shot this gun, so can't say whether it's reliable or not, but considering that it is basically the same gun as a Walther P99, I'm willing to bet it will not have any problems. As far as a CCW is concerned, I think it's pretty close to the ideal weapon for that purpose, except for the fact that it only holds 10+1 rounds. The M&P manages to hold 12+1 and is almost the same size, and the XDsc holds 13+1 and is only a little bigger (although it feels a lot larger). I will be putting a couple hundred rounds through the SW99 this weekend, so I'll be able to give a definitive answer to the reliability question afterwards.

Very good deal. Sorry about the new expenses. I would pick this up, but my wife did the same thing to me with my boat. Bump.

Well, I managed to get to the range and put 60 rounds through this pistol with not a single problem. Two mags were done back to back rapid fire, and I purposely limp wrist a mag, but the SW99 didn't miss a beat. Aimed head shots at 15 yards was easy, and even when I was blasting away I could keep all the shots in the upper half of the silhouette.

Based on the almost noexistant wear on the mags and slide, I would guess 200-300 rounds, max (I bought it used). I'll get some better pics up Monday.
