I just bought a Walther P99. While shooting it for the first time (and playing around with it to get a feel for it), I found that when I have the gun at close to 90 degrees and load a magazine it autoloads the first bullet from the magazine. Now granted this isn't something I do all of the time, I was just trying to see if I needed to if I could drop the mag with my shooting hand and load a fresh one in with the other. I am not touching ANY buttons. I physically can only reach the magazine release, so there is no way I'm hitting the slide release or anything. I've never heard of this with any other gun and am unable to do the same thing with my husbands Springfield XD9. It does this about 9 out of 10 times. Both my husband and I have played with it and it does this for both of us.
Is this a bug or a "feature"?
