Well, I took my new P99 QA out to the range to put its first rounds down range, and was quite happy with the first 15 rounds! The Factory Remington 165 gr MC (break in ammo) fed just fine and gave a nice snappy little recoil. It was printing low and left, so I figured I should adjust the rear sight. I put screwdriver to screw, and the rear sight slid right off the pistol! A little spring popped out with a small black cylinder. The top of the black cylinder appears rough. I can't find a good enough picture of the part to be sure I'm not missing a broken bit (our range is gravel, its very possible I missed it).
I sent an email to Walther America, and I suspect I'll have a replacement soon, but I'm now real worried that the sight will stay on! The part appears to be plastic and having the rear sight fall off at the wrong time is simply not going to work for me.
Has anyone else had this happen? The after market sights I've found don't seem to be adjustable, but a few do seem to ignore this plunger.
The P22 I picked up at the same time was a dream tho; it printed nice tight groups for both my wife and myself. It looks like I may have trouble getting a chance to shoot it and may have to buy her one of her own!
