The SW99's have been out a long time and have proven to be very good guns. They are S & W's version of the Walther P99 which is imported by S & W. I've never shot one but I have never heard anything bad about the trigger on a SW99. I do own a S & W Sigma SW9VE which has a very hard trigger but is a very dependable pistol (at least mine is).
S & W's newest product, the M & P is taking front center stage to most of their older products. 1911's being the exception since they will never take back stage to anything.
Below is a picture of the latest members of our little family. The Springfield Arms 1911 Micro Compact bought by my wife & the two MP's are my babies.
