ETA: Walther Article.


What does this mean?

The Walther P99AS is a truly unique striker-pistol. If you have trained your whole life with a double action/single action pistol, the P99 is a 21st Century update to this approach, and if you don’t believe in the Glock methodology (I hope I’m not being too transparent here), the P99 should be your choice.

I think what he is talking about is the Double Action to Single Action trigger pull. The Walther P99 has a decocker on the top of the slide that takes the trigger pull to 11 pounds uncocked (like a double action revolver). After the first shot the P99 is "cocked" and the trigger pull drops to a very light 3.5 pounds (like a revolver with the hammer cocked). I don't have a PPQ, but I read the article as it having a hair trigger after being cocked (1.5 pounds).

On a Glock the trigger pull is always a constant.

I like the P99 trigger, I am much more accurate and comfortable with it. Although I can squeeze the tension out of a Glock in my sleep without it firing....
