Still have my blued 380 PPK/S which I purchased new in 1976 for about 227.00. It has "Made In W. Germany" factory engraved on the slide. Took it to the range recently and ran Hornady critical defense flawlessly through it's three different magazines. Only negative I have had is the heavy first DA trigger. Carried it off duty & used it as a backup on-duty OTJ in the 70s.

I’m so glad I’m not the only that hates the Hilary hole.. man if they didn’t make the lock less version I’d stop buying smith & wessons

A great video on the S&W 442 in black the rubber grips are just too small I would replace them with much better ones

.380 has less recoil. Agree on the spotty reliability of the LCPs. I have the Max and it has the spontaneous magazine eject issue.... Yeah..... Not great. The deal is, snubbies technically aren't perfectly reliable either. You can short stroke a revolver. Cylinders can freeze if you don't clean your gun. They are trickier to shoot well. And .38 special out of an airweight revolver feels like hitting your hand with a hammer after a box of 50.

In my opinion there’s zero comparison. One will fire every time with everything you put through it to include lead round nose ammo, hollow points, wadcutters, etc. and the other might fire with just the right ammo…maybe! People can say what they want, but the good ole J-Frame is still a very relevant CCW option, even in todays world of “wonder 9’s”

Nice review! Excellent demonstration of the AS trigger mode. Walther P99 is a great pistol. The standard model and compact are both ideal choices for ccw. 2023 was last year of production for this pistol. Definitely a star for many years in Walther's production.

even the ruger are most of the time reliable the small 380 or 22lr are just not 100% i would always want the revolver for such cases

Those front sights are NOT extra, they are different heights for dialing in your elevation

They also make a factory 20 round magazine for these

I love the P99, the AS mode doesn’t make much sense though, it’s a weird in between mode that’s really not necessary. The double action on the p99 is one of the smoothest I’ve felt

This gun is in no way was the "hard to shoot" for me even with +p ammo thanks to the excellent stock grip. I out shot everyone in the CA CCW qualifications. I also own a Sig p365 and I can't even keep my hands on the tiny grip and require an extended mag. I am 6'4 with large hands, this gun is sick right out the box. Light, compact, very easy to conceal. Remember, you can talk all day about stats, but if you buy a gun that too big, uncomfortable or too heavy to carry and your dont carry every single day, your voice doesnt matter. Buy a gun that you will carry every day without hesitation regardless of the caliber, brand, etc. Whatever fits you best. Hope that helps. All the best to the pro gun community. Stand strong for our rights to bear arms.

I really wanted to expand my ccw choices beyond my 442 and 686.I have had my 442 for 3 years now and I love it. I was looking at the M&P Shield. I love those however can never get over the fact that I have seen so many shots fail on the range when others have malfunctions. It could be bad ammo, poor maintenance, incorrect ammo, too many spring adjustments, magazine failures, after market accessories and so forth. During qualification I have seen semi's fail many times. I am honestly over anything but my current choice of ccw. To that speil, THANK YOU for this video. Excellent info.

Good info. Also, I was wondering why my 442 grips didn’t have the S&W logo on them. Now I know. They are Uncle Mike’s grips. Like you, I believe these grips are great. Mark

I beed to goce them 200 eoghts and 2 pinds give them 100 40s and 30 10s instead and see if i can get th 10 pounds for fuve of the gubsI need all 3 I need this gun abd this gun in 40 cal

😅😅Oll gibe u 7 ounces of heroon for the three guns give me tge teo guns please Ill give u herion fir that Yrs the one below its worth 1000 to me????

I couldn't get a word in edgewise

Ambas armas belíssimas....

Thank you for your video it was very helpful!

Good vid... have you encountered any 9mm that wont limp wrist fail?

I've been having one for 16 years. Still not a fun gun to shoot at all.

How is it holding up today

I know this vid is old but, have u requested Ruger fix your LCP II? They upgraded the extractor. It now uses the same one as the LCP Max. Ruger sent me a new upper free of charge. It’s extremely reliable now. That said, I still carry my S&W J frame as well. 2 great options for pocket carry. I also use Galco holsters for both guns.

Great gun❤

Uncle Mike’s boot grips are great on J frames. Totally agree. Sorry they stopped making their grips.

Or Moon clips. The 442 is cut for Moon clips but the 642 doesn't.

Quick tip when you take it down use a old credit card to rest the trigger guard on.

It is all you will ever need in this life time-- I have the 360 pd

Love mine.

Very clever mechanism for an underrated gun which could be the Glock killer...

I own both the one with the birdhead grip and the standard grip and both great guns they shoot good a very accurate and yes they do a good job. The only advice that I can give you with this gun is do not drive fire at all have a great day.

Funny how everybody has different feelings on grips. I have tried them all on my j frame and found no stand outs. The Uncle mikes felt just like the factory grips to me. After about 10 tries I gave up on the perfect feel and went for the cool factor. With that said I got some Chiefs Special grips love the look! Are they comfortable to shoot not really but none I tried were but these just look right on this gun so I gave up my search and stuck with these. The one good thing is they are really compact and small which helps it hide in the pocket.

love mine but man that beavertail really cuts into the web in your hand after 100 shots it gets painful. I was able to fix this by taking 600 grit wet/dry cloth and sanding down the sharp edges in the beavertail (I can't take credit I saw this in a youtube video). Really makes shooting this gun far more pleasurable.

Quick question weight difference between the three grips, since you have all three, thanks.

Dry Fire, snap caps! ✔

Which hogue grip did you try? 6000? Did it make the gun harder to conceal?

Don’t buy ones made by S&W and interarm, they tend to jammed. Also check out sig p232 or bersa Thunder.

Great review. Have had a PPQ for years, either getting a P99 or P99c next, want a c for carry but might have to settle for full size and keep looking for the hard-to-find c. Anyone with a tip on where to find(local shop/online) would be greatly appreciated!

Love my 442!

The Walther P99 failed in the market place simply because you could not safely carry it in the single action mode. This would have been possible if the Morons of Walther would have simply put a manual safety on the gun. To safely carry the P99 you must carry it in the double action mode and most people cannot hit much in double action mode unless its across the bar room table.

File or burnish the sharp edges. If that offends you, protect your hand with tape or a band-aid.

One of the better reviews -- and there are many. Liked the careful discussion of the unique trigger system. Also, a little history rounded out the discussion nicely. Thank you.

I think….this is a cool…. gun. I’ve just reee…cently purchased one for a… plink…er. I didnt…. Like the black or sil…ver. The burnt… bronze is totally theeeee….way to go.

The 642 (exactly like the 442, only silver aluminum alloy, not black aluminum alloy frame). My on-duty back up gun for the last 27 years and a 640 for 5 years before that! Quality, reliability, dependability and life saving. There’s no better back-up gun to depend one’s life upon.

Great video, to the point and spoken slowly enough so I could follow it without having to ‘rewind’ . Thank you for making and uploading 👍

I have a smith 642 and 637. My 637 broke and I had to pay for repairs. Warranty would not cover it. "these are not meant to be shot a lot" 2 customer service reps said that. The Ruger LCR is a better gun IMO. More durable. The frame and barrel are metal. The polymer portion helps mitigate recoil.

Unreliable junk

Buenas tardes,graciasnpor el video,dicho ésto,le comento que yo poseo una walter p99 compact 9x19mm y me llegó deserie co las miras metálicas y después de muchos disparos,nunca tuve ningún problema con ellas,un saludo desde Madrid España

Just wish they would include a extra finger extension with it.

I have the last version made in Houlton, Maine USA. No problems with my pistol.
