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.
If the firearm is to be stored for an extended period, the bore, chamber and internal
working mechanism should be lubricated with a high quality lubricant or preservative
intended for firearms. The external working mechanisms, slide, barrel, and magazine
should be coated with anti-corrosion lubrication.
Before using the pistol again, be sure to clean it. Every time you clean the firearm,
check it for signs of wear. If wear is noted, do not use the firearm. Return it to
WALTHER for service or have it checked by a qualified gunsmith.
5 Adjusting the Pistol to its User
5.1 Grip
If the grip of the pistol does not fit your hand
comfortably, the backstrap can be replaced with
another size to better suit your hand.
To do so, push the pin in the bottom part of the
backstrap out using a punch (Full Size: 4mm /
Compact: 3 mm), exchange the backstrap for one
with a better fit and replace the pin (5.1 Fig. 1).
The P99 Full Size pistol backstraps are offered in
sizes Small, Medium, and Large. The P99 Compact
comes with backstraps in sizes Small and Large.
5.2 Lanyard Loop
A lanyard loop for attachment of a lanyard is found at the lower end of the backstrap
(P99 Full Size only). The pin used to fasten the backstrap forms, together with a
recess in the backstrap, an eyelet for attachment of a lanyard.
To attach a lanyard, push the pin in the bottom part of the backstrap out using a
4 mm punch, insert the lanyard, then replace the pin.
5.3 Sights
The front and rear sight are replaceable. The point of impact is adjustable for
windage and elevation. You can choose from polymer sights and steel sights and
different contrast markings.
Check that the pistol is unloaded (magazine removed from pistol and
chamber clear). Also ensure that the magazine is unloaded.
WINDAGE
Polymer Rear Sight:
If shots group to the right, turn the rear sight windage screw
clockwise, if they group to the left, turn the windage screw counter
clockwise (5.3 Fig. 1). Adjustment by one click moves the impact
point approximately 2 cm (.7”) at a distance of 25 m (25 yards).
