Hi All:
I just got my P99 .40 a few weeks ago and have put 450 rounds through it so far. Love it. However I recently noticed that sometimes when the casings eject they hit the slide just rear of the ejection port; the tiny points of impact are removing the finish on the slide. I also have a few nicks on the horizontal portion of the slide just below the ejection port, again from ejected casings. In total there apear to be approximately 14 nicks in the finish, although I'm sure more could have hit in the same spots. I know there must be a problem with the ejection mechanism and I'm taking it into the shop this week to probably have it sent back to Walther, but my question is, has anyone else experienced this? I shot 180gr. CCI and 165gr. something else and both caused marking.
Thanks very much for any info/suggestions!
