I may be wrong, but they seemed to be hard to find (with the AS trigger), after I pretty much decided I wanted one. So when I had a chance to drop in the area's largest gunshop yesterday while traveling through a big city, about an hour from my little city, I thought I'd see if any 99c's or PPS's were there. I didn't have high hopes as a phone call to them within the last two weeks resulted in a clerk telling me that they had none. What made me go out of my way to visit them I don't know.
Amongst hundreds of guns in the counter, they only had one full size P99 (in .40 at that). I lucked into a very dilligent store rep (retired school teacher) who went into the "back" several times in an attempt to find a 99c. The first time he returned, he came out with a full size. The next time he emerged, my hopes were raised when I saw the "c" by the 99 on the label, but hope was lost when I opened the case and saw the "QA" on the frame. He then disappeared for a longer time which I read as a bad sign. But to my surprise he appeared again with yet another blue plastic case in his hand. Could it be? Upon raising the lid, the "AS" on the frame was a sight for sore eyes!!! Yes!!!
Break-in starts this weekend!!!
