WARNING: AFTER INSERTING A MAGAZINE, ALWAYS TEST TO MAKE
SURE IT IS LOCKED IN PLACE BY APPLYING SOME REMOVAL
PRESSURE TO THE EXPOSED PORTION OF THE BUTT PLATE.
WARNING: UPON FIRING THE PISTOL OR RELEASING THE SLIDE
FROM THE SLIDE STOP, THE SLIDE MOVES REARWARD OR
FORWARD WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCE AND SPEED.
TO AVOID INJURY, BE SURE NO PART OF YOUR BODY IS IN THE PATH
OF THE SLIDE’S TRAVEL.
3.4.2 Firing the P99 DAO
Firing is done as described above. After firing you must allow the trigger to move fully
forward before you can fire the next shot. Failure to do so will prevent the lockwork
from fully cycling, and will prevent the firing of the next shot.
This sequence can be repeated until the last round has been fired. Trigger pull and
trigger travel is the same from the first to the last round.
If a cartridge fails to fire, the trigger may be squeezed again to fire the round.
3.4.3 Firing the P99 QA
Firing is done as described in section 3.4.1 “Firing, General”. After firing you must
allow the trigger to move forward before you can fire the next shot. Failure to do so
will prevent the lockwork from fully cycling, and will prevent the firing of the next shot.
This sequence can be repeated until the last round has been fired. Trigger pull and
trigger travel is the same from the first to the last round.
3.4.4 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.
3.4.4.1 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
.4” (10 mm). The trigger will remain in its forward-most position
(see Anti-Stress Trigger below).
• While holding the grip firmly, squeeze the trigger fully to the rear to fire.
• Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to
fire again.
The subsequent shots will be fired with traditional Single Action trigger until the
P99 AS pistol is reset to Double Action by pressing the decocker.
