My new P99 .40 ejects 12-round magazines while shooting. At least once per magazine. I read all the forum threads suggesting it could be ammo or shooter related. I tried American Eagle 165gr and Blazer 180gr. Even different grips did not change the result.
I called Walther and they suggested I try the FMJ ammo they use for their testing: 165 gr. Winchester White Box and Fiocchi. I even had several experienced gun owners shoot mine, checking to see if I was doing something wrong. Same result even after more than 700 rounds through it.
After more reading here, I came across the thread where another P99 owner had the same problem, and the responses came from others who had the magazine release repaired by Walther. So, I called Walther today and am sending it back to them to repair.
Here's my question: What, besides the lever,magazine return spring and catch, makes up the magazine release? I want to make sure they replace all of the defective parts, not just the minimum.
The PPS .40 we have has been performing very well. No issues. I knew going in it was going to be hit or miss on the reliability of this gun, but i have to say I am disappointed. I hope Walther can make it right.
