Didn't see any other threads on this.
It's very interesting, and finally some manufacturers are responding to this niche.  IMO, Glock should have done this a LONG time ago.

Personally, I think it's kinda weird looking, but if it proves to be reliable and not too expensive, then I'll pick one up.

Wow, thin! Looks weird all right, but in my experience Walther makes good stuff. Pretty interesting...

maybe when it sells really well this will galvanize Glock into making a single stack subcompact 9mm.

Looking at the top picture. If you squint, and look at it from about 6 feet, it looks like a HiPoint.

HAHA!!!    ....you're right

I think a single stack 9mm glock would be nice and all but I don't know that I would be on board.  I like the G26 mainly because it will take a G19 barrel and all of the other glock 9mm mags.

If I'm getting something single stack, I'm going for a pocket gun...which I'm looking at the KT P3AT.

I guess I'd just have to see.  Now if glock made a true pocket gun.......

I like the concept of single stack 9mm's that are super thin, but dear god is that ugly.  Even worse, the trigger and takedown latch look like they came from the Glock parts bin.

This is my own personal opinion, but my experience has been that Walther striker fired pistols are the suxxor, ie; with abuse, they sometimes don't go bang when you squeeze the trigger.  As opposed to a glock that can be abused to hell & back & will always go bang.

ETA:  Glock called, they want their trigger safety back.  (Good god, what a useless invention, of all the things to rip off...)

The mag release looks too big. I wonder how easy it is to release a mag unintentionally...

IMHO, that is one ugly pistol.

ETA: I hope it does well enough though, as I would like to see other mfgs follow suit.
If you're going compact, you might as well go compact... Single-stack, 6+1.

For instance, just because there might be a G26cs, doesn't mean that it would replace the G26. It would just fill a niche that a number of people would need.

The mag release is one thing that Walther's done right.  I've never accidentally released a mag and once you get used to it, it's downright handy.

eta:  I was referring to the p99 one, this one seems huge...hmm...
