I have a few but don't hunt.

I'm looking into buying my first pistol in either February or March. I'm really leaning towards a Walther P99 in a 9mm. Any thoughts or feedback?

Best to head to your local range and rent as many as you can (usually have a small fee for as many as you want to try out plus the price of ammo).

I haven't shot the P99 so I'm not much help. Other Walthers have been too small to be comfortable for me. This is why it's always best to try it out before you buy (if you haven't already). I like the XD9, and M&P 9 from what I've used.

^ the XD9 is nice, Walthers are cool but, as stated, a little small. 9mm is a nice round to fire

Walthers are nice. Might I suggest the HK USP Compact Tactical .45? An awesome round, the perfect size, AND a threaded barrel for silencer!:D

[AbeSonic]

Well I kinda have small hands and thats why the P99 fits perfectly in my hand. I've seen the XD9 and it also fits nicely in my hands. I've broken it down into a top 3.
1. P99
2. Sig P250
3. Springfield XD.
Or I could just go bananas and get this....lol

If you want an MP5 .22lr clone, get a used pre H&K lawsuit one. Much better made.

If you want new, I'd recommend looking at the Sig 522 or M&P15-22.

You should go to the range and shoot as many as you can before deciding on one. One of the things that you should look for is how well it sits in your hands and how it feels to shoot. I liked the XD9, but couldn't get over the grip safety. I didn't like the M&P 9's trigger nor how it felt in my hand, etc. The point is all the guns are different in how they feel, so go try them out.

I have smaller hands too, and I really liked the Sig P226 with the E2 grip update. The E2 grip is suppose to be thinner and should fit smaller hands better. I thought it was a lot of fun to shoot and I would recommend that gun.

As cliche as this sounds, try the Glock 17 (full size) or Glock 19 (compact). Their triggers can take a little bit of getting used to, but some people love them while some people hate them. Also, try out the H&K USP; it's on the pricey end, and almost as polarizing as the Glock, but I think they are nice guns and I like the option of having manual safety and/or decocker.

Err, also, I guess, what are you looking for in a hand gun? Are you going to be conceal carrying this, or is this strictly going to be a range gun? Is this for fun or is this intended for defense purposes?
