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

the pistol.

To lock the slide in the open position, allow the slide to move slightly forward from the

rearmost position while pressing upward on the slide stop (2.6 Fig. 4).

Releasing the slide from the slide stop:

Press down on the slide stop with the thumb of your shooting hand to release the

slide and allow it to move fully forward.

For easier operation of the slide stop grasp the serrated sides of the slide from the

rear and pull the slide to the rear while pressing down on the slide stop to release the

slide and allow it to move fully forward.

2.6.5 Decocker (P99 AS)

The decocker offers a safe way of de-cocking the

P99 AS. The decocker is routinely used to de-cock the

striker. De-cock the P99 AS after loading, before

holstering and prior to disassembly.

Press the decocker downwards into the slide until the

striker is audibly and visually de-cocked (2.6 Fig. 5).

If you find that it is difficult or cumbersome to manipulate

the decocker using your shooting hand’s thumb, or if you

are left-handed, you should use the thumb of your non-shooting hand to do so.

Always point the pistol in a safe direction during de-cocking.

Always de-cock the P99 AS before holstering. The de-cocked pistol remains

ready for service using the Double Action trigger

WARNING: Pulling the slide rearward will cock the striker again.

2.6.6 Field-Stripping Aid (P99 QA)

The P99 QA can be field-stripped only after de-cocking:

Press the Field-Stripping Aid downwards into the slide

until the striker is audibly de-cocked (2.6 Fig. 6).

If you have trouble manipulating the Field-Stripping Aid

with a finger, you should use the tip of a pen or other

pointed object to do so.

The de-cocked P99 QA is no longer ready for service.

Always point the muzzle in a safe direction during

de-cocking.

WARNING: Pulling the slide rearward will cock the striker again.
