Hi,
I just bought a P99 in .40 S&W today. This looks like a great forum so I thought I'd post a question I have. My gun is the AS model and is new production (2006 serial number and a spent shell casing that is dated September 2006). The rear sight on my gun is different from the one shown in the owner's manual in that it does not adjust with the small allen wrench tool that came with it. Rather, the right side of the sight can only be adjusted with a flathead screwdriver which did NOT come with the gun.
I called Walther America/S&W and they told me they had no idea that Walther had changed the rear sight and that they were unaware of any new sight adjustment tool/screwdriver coming with the guns. My problem is that none of my flathead screwdrivers are a perfect fit, so I feel I'll end up scratching the screw up if I try to adjust the sight. Has anyone else seen this? Should I have received a special sight adjustment tool?
With the gun I received the 3 extra sights, 2 extra backstrap inserts, small allen wrench, black plastic cleaning tool, two 12-round magazines, and all paperwork. I've been reading on this forum about a magazine disassembly tool - should I have received this as well?
I am not new to handguns, but I am new to the P99. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
