I did perform a search, but could not find exactly the questions I have, maybe I didn't search hard enough, but apologies if these are repeats (I'm sure they are.)
I have long enjoyed the looks of the P99, and finally got to put 50 rnds through a .40 P99 AS yesterday at the range.
After 3 shots I was spot on, it fits my hand perfectly, and aiming seems very natural.
It was a range rental gun, which I shot because I am considering getting one in 9MM, seeing as it would be cheaper to shoot, and have higher mag caps. Shooting it brought me a few questions to ask...
1st: With the AS model, is it always a double-action trigger pull on the first shot? Is there any way to make it single for the entirety of the magazine? I've read many articles about the QA/DAO/AS models, but I still don't entirely understand the differences.
2nd: It failed to feed properly 3 times, which could have been due to it being a range gun and not being cleaned. The slide closed on the round and I had to pull the slide back to get it to chamber properly.
3rd: What should I pay for a 9MM AS NIB? Should I consider the QA or DAO? Would they be cheaper/more expensive? The range I fired at didn't have a 9MM in stock, but searched and said they could have one for 589$.
Thanks in advance,
