I haven't fired my new p99 yet, and was wondering about the single action.
Mine is double action for the first shot, and can be cocked by pulling the slide back a bit for single action with the trigger in the forward position. The manual says that after the first shot is fired, the trigger will go to single action with the trigger in the rearward postition for less takeup. However, mine doesn't seem to that. When I rack my slide all the way back to duplicate the shooting action, the trigger still goes to SA forward, so I have a lot of take-up before the trigger releases.
Does the trigger only go to SA rearward when a round is chambered or when the pistol is otherwise loaded?
I know that this is a goofy question, and that I could find out by shooting it, but I don't have the time or money right now and would just like to familiarize myself with my sexy new gun! And even though I bought it used from a sporting goods store, that doesn't neccessarily mean it is in perfect working condition. Already, I noticed that the front sight blade is missing the screw, and that the slide has a lot of side to side rattle (about 1/16 inch), though since the barrel is tight with the slide, I doubt this will affect accuracy.
