Yesterday was my first day trying out my new P99-40-AS. Went to the NRA indoor range with my brother. We put each put through 75 rounds of flat nosed ball ammo and another 25 rounds of Federal hollowpoints. No FTF's, but it does have a quirky slide. You either must use the slide release, or the slide is down on an empty chamber, just pull the slide back and let it "fly"; otherwise the round jams, which would be bad when it's needed. I hope the tolerances for a less aggressive slide racking are looser as I fire the gun.
I do love the trigger on this thing, even right out of the box. If it improves from here, I'll be extremely pleased.
The gun is quite accurate. It has a beautifully natural point to it and vertically I'm right on target. But both my brother and me were off to the left, so I suspect the rear sights require adjustment. I am not a new shooter, but I am not one who has a lot of tools, especially gun tools. Exactly what tool should be used to adjust the rear sight?
I do wish I had gotten the 9mm. The 40 Caliber is good, but has very snappy recoil and I think I would enjoy shooting the 9mm much more. This is odd given the Glock 21 I've been shooting for 13 years, but I'm getting older and I seem to have developed some kind of pain in my thumb joint and elbow.
Anyone want to trade a 9mm for a 40?
