You are absolutely correct Herr Walther. In fact, the fellow that sold me the sight included a post card of the area he was in as I had got to talking to him about when I was in the service many years ago and attended language school in Monterey CA and he was nice enough to include a picture postcard of CA (no charge); a fair price on the part plus something extra at no charge, not exactly Earl's way of conducting business! The other good news is, I am taking tomorrow off from work and heading to the range with a friend and my P99; have an assortment of ammo I am anxious to try/compare, Speer, Winchester, Federal and wanted to try again some import stuff I purchased "PMP", ever hear of that brand?
