[QUOTE="Neanderthal, post: 724959, member: 3746"] Although the P22 mag release is in the same place, it's a bit different than the P99. I found the P22 release to be a little harder to use than I thought it should be, but maybe that was just me. As far as the design of the safety itself, I think it's far superior to the typical "push button" mag release. But, I'll admit that I'm prejudice. I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally dumped a mag with that system, but I have yet to do it with a Walther. I accidentally crapped more mags on the ground with 1911 platforms than anything else. The whole Walther grip was designed by a famous target gun fellow, and you can feel it when you grip one. You'll notice that some of their features are starting to show up in other high quality firearms - such as HK. I'm not going to say they are best for everyone. They aren't. It's like cars or women, we all have our preferences. But as far as guns go, I'm a firm believer that someone will shoot with a firearms that is more comfortable to them, and for me that's the P99. Some people swear by the feel of a Magnum Research Desert eagle - which takes me about 3 hands just to shoot. Same with a GLOCK. I've owned a buttload of GLOCKS and I can't complain about their dependability. However, they still feel like a block of wood in my hand and that effects my accuracy (I get a similar experience with XD's). [/QUOTE]
