It's all fun, as to the Walther I traded for

It is a very interesting piece and if someone wanted it as an alternative to a G19, it would do if that's what they liked. In actual shooting it is well thought out and natural. However it is bewildering that they made (14) different variations of the P99. Not including the transition to the PPQ. I'm not joking! Many countries have bought it as a service arm (P99Q). That's what it's all about selling stuff. The internals are very Germanic and comparatively complex. You would not enjoy taking it apart or putting it back together. If you encounter one in a gun shop take note; is it an "AS", "DAO", or "QA" trigger system? Good info for gun traders, it's complicated.

Honestly I will trade it off very soon for a G19 class weapon for my combat piece. There is no need to reinvent the wheel and the Glock has fewer parts of less complex nature. Plus the aftermarket is flooded for tinkering. I've not found a more suitable weapon in my searching.

As typical GNR's perspective is a good one. The less you mess with something proven the better!
