For the .40 I use a 200 grain XTP at 900 FPS and for the .380 I use a 115 grain XTP at 1025 FPS (both velocities clocked from my carry guns). I am rather proud of the .380 load as it replicates a weak 9mm from a short barrel with a .380 ACP (though I use a 20 lb Wolff spring in the P232).
Wowzers; that is a screaming .380.

Re: Which DA/SA gun would you carry?

I for one would love to have a little P365 size and weight DA SA pistol. I might would be the end of my search for my pistol nirvana...alas, the search moves on.

Firing pin block,very good DA, and the best SA on the market in my opinion. The SA trigger on my P99c is crisper than the trigger on my PPQsc! Now all I want is a full size P99AS to go with it.

You know...I no longer have my ppq to do a proper “side by side” SA trigger test; but my P99 trigger is so close I doubt I could tell the difference.

It is strange to me that the PPQ set the new standard for polymer trigger pull and then came along the cz p10 and a few other improved polymer pistol triggers but somehow the P99 was lost in the shuffle.

Perhaps people were put off by the manual of arms description. I think “Anti stress mode” confused some people and they just didn’t want to complicate things. I never use the AS mode unless at the range. Otherwise the P99 operates just like any other DA SA gun. Walther probably just should have left the half pulled trigger “catch” out if the equation all together. It just may have changed the course of history. We may all have been carrying ultralight weight DA SA guns instead of striker fired. Who knows?

That said I would suggest the ergonomics of the P2000 are superior to the USP line. I had carried the P30sk for a while, and while I enjoy those ergos even more, the short grip puts the magazine in a position that when releasing a mag it would often get hung up on the fatty part of my palm, necessitating a positive pull to clear the mag. Didn't matter if it was the flush fit, pinky, or later 13 & 15 round extended mags. As a result I ended up parting ways with my P30sk and replaced it with the P2000. Slightly longer grip and 13-round mags. Easily conceals and has the same great trigger of the USP in a slightly less 2x4-ish feeling package. :mrgreen:

All that said once cooler weather rolls around I've been known to OC my full size P30 from time to time.

I’ve always been intrigued by the p2000. Had a P30sk that I liked but didn’t love. I may just have to give the p2000 a spin one of these days. I like to appendix carry my “larger” guns and love the dasa manual of arms.

This is what I was going to say. I need to get one to go along with my P99qa, PPQ 1st gen, PPS 1st gen, and P22.

When you get one; I’d seriously consider some Trijicon HD’s on it. I really love mine.

Love carrying and shooting this. In my opinion...the most underrated carry gun of all time.
