Pistol light

[StagLefty]

I have a WaltherP99 that I'd like to find a pistol light for. It has what I believe is called a propiortory(excuse spelling)rail. I seem to have run into a deadend looking for a light that will work on this gun. Any leads would be great. Thanks.
Here's a pic of the rail in question:

I guess I needed to put this in general otherwise it just disappears ???

"Propietary" means that the company (Walther) is responsible for the design... therefore, you'll probably need to contact Walther and ask them which lights will fit on it.

For my two cents, I can't think of a single light that would work... unless you use some Duct tape....

[StagLefty]

Regular duct tape or Tactical ?

Tacticool of course!!! Maybe with some Krylon camo too!

Here's what Walther offers-looks pretty awkward to me:

Looks awkward to you? Looks disgusting to me! lol. Hey, but to each their own.

Why did they even bother putting that special "rail" on their gun if you can't even put anything on it? That's worse than the fake hood scoop Ford used to put on their Mustang.

I was hoping someone else here had the same gun at some time and could offer a lead on a light but the Walther may be more of a rarity than I thought.

Go here http://www.carlwalther.com/p99acc.htm

They have a couple goofy light mounts like StagLefty posted but they do have one titled "P99 Blast 2 Combination flashlight & laser" that looks pretty cool (but pricey...I bet you can find it cheaper elsewhere)

Also if you can find one, look for Umarex P99 Rail Adapter.

Even more rare is the Walther Rail Adapter (here's one (http://www.armslist.com/posts/17419/columbus-ohio-handguns-for-sale-walther-p99-picatinny-adapter-for-1st-gen-p99) that I don't think is still for sale).

Thanks but these are some of the same deadends I ran into-I think I may be looking for something that isn't available. [Beer]

Sell it and buy a new gun

I'm pretty sure Viridian makes one. They're not very cheap either.

That's part of the problem-gun performs and fits great. I've had it and trained with it for several years. I can always use the handheld system. I just thought there might be a light system available. Thanks for all the input folks. [Beer]

Well lo and behold I just found the Walther forum and this exact search for a light or adapter has been going on for awhile over there. They are actually trying to get Walther to offer something to 1st generation Walther P99 owners to remedy this.
