I purchased a P99 from Gunbroker. I was a bit nervous, but I really wanted the older style (pre-2004) frame and couldn't find one locally. The transaction went perfectly, and the gun was in great condition.
I've since purchased 2 15rd mags from Earl's (after a failed experiment with 2 of the 8.99 mags from CDNN...).
I've put over 2000 rds through the gun at my local range. I'm using the cheapest WWB and Remington UMC ammo I can buy.
Not a single FTF or FTE. I'm really starting to get a feel for the gun, and (with a flier here and there) can get consistent 4" groups at ~25 feet. That's probably not great, but I'm happy. I love the feeling at the range after a couple hundred rounds and there are nothing but big holes in the targets
.
A couple of questions...
1) My P99 is DA/SA (not AS). When I first load a mag and release the slide, the trigger remains all the way forward. There is then a extremely light pull until it clicks into place for SA. I shot a SW99 many months ago when I was evaluating guns, and I don't recall it doing that. On the Sig's that I've rented the trigger will actually move to SA position when a mag is inserted and the slide released. Is this normal for the P99?
2) With the new 15rd mags from Earls (Walther mags), when I get to the 13th or 14th round loaded, something rattles in the mag. Is this normal?
3) The 15th round is a real pain in the buttocks to load in these mags. It's to the point that I'm gonna start thinking of them as 14rd mags
. Normal?
Thanks in advance.
