2.6.1 Loaded Chamber Indicator The loaded chamber indicator is on the right side of the slide. The loaded chamber indicator can be observed when the rear of the extractor is recessed, revealing a red colored marking (2.6 Fig. 1). WARNING: Always treat every firearm as 2.6 Fig. 1 if it were loaded and ready to fire if the trigger is squeezed. Do not rely upon the loaded chamber indicator to verify the presence or absence of a round in the chamber.
2.6.4 Slide Stop Locking the slide in the “open” position: Grasping the grip of the frame and with your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard, depress the magazine release, and completely remove the magazine. Firmly grasp the serrated sides of the slide from the rear with the thumb and fingers. While steadily holding the grip, briskly pull the slide fully rearward to extract any cartridge from the chamber and clear it from 2.6 Fig. 4 the pistol.
3 Handling the Pistol 3.1 Inspecting the Pistol • When you inspect the pistol, you should first check to ensure that it is unloaded. To do this, grasp the grip of the frame with your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard, point the muzzle in a safe direction, depress the magazine release and remove the magazine (3.1 Fig. 1). • Grasp the serrated sides of the slide from the rear with the thumb and fingers as shown in 3.1 Fig.
3.2.2 Loading the Magazine Do not attempt to load the magazine with more than the specified number of cartridges because doing so may cause a failure to feed a round of ammunition into the chamber. Do not use excessive force when loading the magazine, as this may damage the magazine. Damaged or defective magazines cause malfunctions and may cause improper functioning of the pistol.
CAUTION THE PISTOL IS NOW LOADED AND READY TO FIRE. The pistol and its magazine are now loaded and will fire when the trigger is squeezed. Remember to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction under all conditions and always keep your finger or any other object off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you decide to fire the pistol. Never leave a loaded firearm unattended or out of your direct control. 3.3 Firing the P99 DAO, P99 QA, and P99 AS 3.3.
3.3.4 Firing the P99 AS With the striker de-cocked, the first round will be fired in Double Action mode and subsequent shots will be fired in Single Action mode until you de-cock the P99 AS again. 3.3.4.1 P99 AS, Double Action Trigger • Load the pistol and de-cock it. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to fire. CAUTION: The striker will re-cock if the slide is moved to the rear by about 10 mm.
3.4 Exchanging empty Magazines Once the last round has been fired, the magazine follower exerts upward pressure on the slide stop causing it to engage the slide stop notch thereby holding it in the “open” position. • Depress the magazine release and remove the magazine. • To continue shooting, insert another loaded magazine. • Pull the slide fully to the rear, let it go and allow it to run fully forward. Caution: The pistol is ready to fire.
3.6 Clearing Misfires • If a cartridge fails to fire, wait sixty seconds while keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. • Follow the procedure as described in section 3.5 “Unloading the Pistol”. • Check the barrel chamber and bore visually for any obstructions. You must be certain there are no cartridges in the chamber or obstructions in the barrel. If there are any obstructions in the bore of the barrel have the pistol further examined and repaired by a qualified gunsmith before using again.
4.1.2 Field-Stripping Reassembly • Hold the slide upside-down. Place the barrel inside the slide with the locking lugs oriented as shown in 4.1 Fig. 4. • Insert the recoil guide rod assembly: − P99 Full Size: Place the smaller (black) end of the recoil rod into the spring mounting at the front of the slide, and then insert the large polymer end of the recoil spring into the lower barrel recess, while taking up the spring pressure (4.1 Fig. 4 and 5).
4.2 Striker Assembly Remove Striker Assembly • Field-strip the pistol. Place the muzzle end of the slide on a smooth, flat surface. Grasp the slide at the slide serrations, push in the pin through the square opening located at the top right side of the slide end cap using a 2 mm punch (4.2 Fig. 1) and remove the slide end cap by sliding it downwards (4.2 Fig. 2). • Remove the striker assembly from the slide (4.2 Fig. 3). − P99 AS and P99 QA 4.2 Fig.
4.3 Extractor 4.3.1 Remove Extractor WARNING: While you remove the extractor, be sure to control the striker safety and the extractor plunger so that they do not fly out. Place the slide upside down with the muzzle facing to the left. Push in the extractor plunger with a 2 mm punch (4.3 Fig. 1). Cover the striker safety and the extractor plunger with a finger while you pivot the extractor out. Remove the striker safety assembly and the extractor plunger assembly from the slide. 4.3.
4.4.2 Assembly 1. Install the follower and magazine spring plus floorplate catch in reverse order back into the tube in exactly the same orientation as they were in when they were first removed during disassembly (4.4 Fig. 2 and 3). Never use excessive force when assembling the magazine. 2. While holding the floorplate catch in the tube, slide the floorplate onto the tube so that the round projection of the floorplate catch engages the hole in the floorplate. There will be an audible “snap” heard. 4.4 Fig.
CAUTION: Always follow the instructions provided with the gun cleaner and gun lubricant. Some cleaners can cause damage to the pistol. You should avoid prolonged solvent immersion and prolonged ultrasonic cleaning of the pistol (maximum temperature for ultrasonic cleaning: 50 °C (122 °F)). Choice of solvent should be restricted to those products specifically developed for firearms maintenance. Damage to a firearm’s finish may occur if these warnings are ignored.
4.7 Maintenance before Storing Obey all laws and regulations relating to the storage of firearms. You must familiarize yourself with all local, state, and federal laws regarding the safe storage of firearms and ammunition. When storing the pistol, do not encase the firearm in anything that will attract or hold moisture, such as leather or heavy cloth.
Replacing the polymer rear sight: WARNING: While you remove the rear sight, be sure to control the rear sight plunger so that it does not fly out. Field-strip the pistol as described in section 4.1. Push down the rear sight plunger and remove the rear sight to the left. If the rear sight is moved to the right, the plunger can become lodged inside the rear sight. To rectify this, remove the rear sight windage screw. Note that the rear sight windage screw is reverse threaded. Install in reverse order.
