S&W messed up the US market for the P99. This Polish version has some features that the US market would like. Maybe we could get STI or Armalite to import these.

According to polish newspapers the frame has been changed for better handling and the back of grip is interchangable. Picatinny rail was also added. I'm not sure how much the frame changed but I looked in a firearms magazine a little and if I remember well it's completly new frame not only from the outside. Bolt's shape also changed and now it also has thicker grooves so it could be pulled back easily by soldiers wearing gloves. Pistol has bolt release levers on both sides for left and right handed shooters. Clip release lever allows to change magazine while still pointing at the target. RAD uses of 15, 16 and 20 round magazines. Newspapers keep repeating that it's a 20 round pistol so maybe it can hold 20 rounds and magazine doesn't stick out of the grip. Sorry for my english i did my best... Hi,

It's more accurate, more user friendly, and easier for people with smaller hands to manipulate. I want to start using mine in action shooting matches this spring.

This is also include Walther P99 which won contest for a new pistol for a Police few yaers ago. We've got the license to produce P99 but frames are still made in Germany. The RAD P99 is a little bit different than a standard P99. Look just for a trigger - in Rad it looks like a this one from Glock pistols. Also as I have read about this "new" pistol is is thicker than P99 and some other differences. For me as a military (I'm a Polish soldier) I would prefer something with standard mag release button for egsample like in Glock etc. Because this lever in P99 oesn't fit to me.

However every time I see Radom though my mind throws in an n and I think Random.
