Is This Iconic Handgun Coming To An End? Walther P99 AS Final Edition

About this video

Colion reviews the Walther P99 AS Final Edition, a 9mm pistol he describes as discontinued after this run. He explains that the gun features what he characterizes as an unusual double-action/single-action trigger system with a decocker, despite its striker-fired appearance. Colion walks through the gun’s ergonomics, trigger mechanics, European-style paddle magazine release, and his experience shooting it, highlighting what he views as an exceptionally short trigger reset.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains the P99 AS uses a double-action/single-action trigger with a decocker, which he says was designed for anti-stress purposes in police and military use to prevent unintentional discharge under pressure.
• According to Colion, the trigger has a very long pull distance but an extremely short reset, which he argues allows for fast follow-up shots once the shooter adapts to the mechanics.
• Colion notes the gun features a European paddle magazine release that he says many American shooters dislike, though he personally finds it manageable with minor grip adjustments.
