OK, here's my story.
i've owned a .40 P99 with the original trigger which i stupidly traded for a non-walther pistol (even though i'm not a .40 fan). i had a long-term loaner from my dad in 9mm, also in AS, which i recenly returned to him.
this leaves me without a P99 and i'm having serious withdrawals
.
so i go to one of the local gunshops that i know carries walthers to check out what they had, which was 2 .40 QA's and a used '02 with the classic trigger (also in .40)
.
blech, i don't want a .40, i'm a 9mm man so i asked the salesman to see if he could locate a 9mm AS. no luck.
but while i was at the shop i dry-fired one of the .40 QA's a few times just out of curiousity since i've heard so much bad QA system. i was very pleasantly surprised
with the QA trigger.
i'm buying this pistol for carry. the P99 is the most comfortable full-size pistol i've ever carried. i don't like to carry weapons with external safeties. i typically carry a SA/DA hammer down on a live round. since i'm without a P99, i've been carrying my fairly new CZ 75 P-01. i also have an XD9 subcompact, which most of you are familiar with the trigger system. once in a while, i'll carry a bulgiarian makarov. as you can see, i like the 'grab and go', 'point and click' approach to defense pistols. my safety is between my ears.
now for the questions:
does anyone feel the QA has too light a trigger for CCW (using a good holster of course)?
since i've only dry-fired a QA, what is the reset like on the QA trigger?
i like the idea of one very managable trigger pull for the whole mag (like my XD), but does anyone find the QA unmanagable in defensive type shooting (high-speed, double-/triple-tap shooting)?
personally, the QA trigger was neither too long nor too heavy for me at the shop today, but i've never fired that system on a P99. i'm a pretty big guy with big hands. i'm an HVAC mechanic, and my hands/arms are unusually strong, so i don't think long or heavy triggers bother me like they might some others. all triggers feel light to me
.
should i go for the QA? it will be much easier to obtain a NIB QA than an AS. i'm pretty sure i could like the trigger on the QA. in a defensive situation, the first shot could be the only or the deciding shot you get off.
help me convince myself it's not too light for carry
