Hi to all,
I have an older german made 9MM P99 (date code KI) that came from Earls. It has the original "Split Trigger" safety.
S&W just replaced the sear block (for free, they even paid shipping!) because the trigger was sticking a little.
I have been thinking about getting one of the new P99's because the frames appear to have less of a drop at the heal of the slide? Mine rubs the top of my shooting hand and is a little uncomfortable.
I was just wondering what some opinions are about the new frame and if there was something wrong with the original split trigger design?
The trigger is a little long and stiff on double action but I don't think this has anything to do with the older trigger safety as most everyone seems to comment on the P99 trigger?
The pistol has always been 100% reliable (Earls polished the barrel) and I really like having one of the original models, but the new ones seem like they might fit my hand better.
Someone told me that I could file down the back of the frame, but I am afraid this may not look too good. Anyone else with this problem?
Im tempted to try modifying the stryker spring to ease the trigger pull and then file down the back of the frame and then I would have the pistol just the way I want it, however, if the new models are just as good as the older ones I may be better off just getting one.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Rob
