First time poster, been lurking and learning for a while. Thanks for all the info.
My NIB P99c QA is on its way to my local FFL. This will be the first gun I've owned. Decided to buy one for home protection. I have virtually no experience handling handguns, and my wife has not touched one in years (although her experience with DA revolvers was a factor in the choice of QA.) We are not recreational shooters, and do not anticipate becoming recreational shooters. We intend to practice enough to be fairly confident that we will not make holes in ourselves, and certain that we can hit a torso-sized at 15 feet.
I hope we can accomplish this level of proficiency with a couple hundred rounds apiece over a couple weeks, and then a trip to the range every 2-3 months.
If this all works out, the break-in period could be years! I'm thinking of paying a gunsmith to do the QA trigger "un-suck" job upfront so our practice time will be with a smooth trigger. Any reasons not to do this?
TIA
