Picked up my P99AS Compact. Price of the gun was 429.99 from CDNN. Transfer fee was higher than I expected, but there was nothing I could do about it at that point.

Anyway, it came with two backstraps. Is the Compact supposed to come with 2 or 3?

Two (2). One already on the pistol and a smaller grip to allow one to downsize the backstrap for a shorter grip.

Yes, it does not come w/ 3 like the full size one.

I swopped mine out just to see the difference between the two, but I like the more rounded grip that comes on the gun by default. I put it back on afterwards.

I'm hoping to go out on Sunday and put some rounds through it and my P99AS. We'll see if I have time.

Two backstraps unlike the full size models which come with three.
Give us a range report of your outing.

And your overall impression. I am just wondering...

This little gem is unfortunately only being offered new in the new trigger system, like the Glock,instead of the old decock system.

If you really try to look, U may find one in the older A/S model. I saw a couple at the big Houston gun show a couple of weeks ago.

CDNN has AS compacts right now. That's where I got mine.

I also got lucky and stumbled upon a full size AS a few weeks back.

I also just purchased a p99c as and received two fullsize backstraps in the box. Walther said they would mail the correct ones out.

That's weird...

I never looked to see if mine were the right ones. I guess I'll have to check.

I tried out my grips but ended up putting the one back that came on the gun - for both my compact and fill size.

That pin is a pain in the butt to knock out, though...
