Great Deal on Walther P99C AS in .40 S&W

Shoot Straight has a great deal right now on Walther P99C AS handguns: only $299. As of this writing, they have 14 still in stock. (Note: I have no connection, financial or otherwise, with Shoot Straight). From the description:
The Walther P99C AS features 3-dot polymer sights, picatinny accessory rail, extended slide stop, ambidextrous paddle-style magazine release, and Matte Black Tenifer finish. The most note worthy feature of the Walther P99C AS, is the Double Action-to-Single Action Striker Fired trigger system. On top of the slide is the manual decocker to give your first shot a 9 pound trigger pull. The single action pull is rated at 4.5 pounds w/ .31″ of travel. Comes with a cleaning rod, one additional backstrap, and two (8) round magazines; one flush fit, one with a pinky finger extension.
As noted, caliber is .40 S&W. It is 8+1 capacity.

      A colleague of mine purchased one of these and brought it to work to show me. So, I've handled it, but I haven't shot it. That said, it was very comfortable in the hand. It appeared to be new-in-box. I also liked that although it was a striker fired pistol, it was also double-action/single-action, with a decocker (a button/plate on the top of the slide that you push down). I like the double action feature because, in worst case, you could probably carry it safely just shoved in a pocket. Anyway, it appears to be a very nice gun and I would get one myself, even though it is .40 S&W, but for other financial obligations.

     Although its about the 9 mm version, The Truth About Guns has a review of the P99C AS pistol.
