Walther P99 RAD
The P99 RAD was unveiled at MSPO 2008. As far as I can tell it is a standard P99 with a Picatinny rails and a different, but still interchangeable, grip.
The “RAD” part of the name refers to the hometown of the Lucznik Arms Factory, Radom. Interestingly enough “Rad” was the the unofficial nickname of the Polish Vis semi-automatic pistol used in WWII.
The pistol was designed by the Polish military and I do not know if Walther will sell this design to the public.

I have done my best to find accurate information about this firearm on the Polish MSPO 2008 website. I do not speak or read Polish so I had to rely on Google Translate. If I got something wrong, please correct me in the comments.
Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
I’ve always been fond of the P99 and as a person of Polish descent I’d love to have a pistol with the Polish Eagle on it so I hope it does eventually reach state side.
However every time I see Radom though my mind throws in an n and I think Random.
lol same here and you know that new airsoft gun trend that has the guns with 6mm bbs? Well I have a P99 A1 model of those it is spring and goes 375 feet per second. They are fun (I mean airsoft guns in general).
Jesse, sorry to be raining on your parade, but if you look closer, you may actually notice that “Made in Germany” writing on the frame, not far from the eagle.
