well, just got back from the range...
The sw99 handled nicely. I was able to shoot at least as good if not better than my XD as far as accuracy. There was 2 hiccups, one using the hollowpoints... it failed to load properly due to the lack of a nose on the bullet. The second was a fail to fully eject on the last round of the mag using FMJ's. This was 2 in about 300 rounds or so... so it doesn't bother me. Considering that the XD has had over 3500 through it and Zero hiccups, I'd have to say that at this point, it still holds #1 in my book, but the SW99 is #2, and a very good piece. I really enjoyed shooting it, however I will need to get another grip ext. for the mag because the other mag is too short.

Im heading back to the range with my bro, so I'll post later and let you know.
