Instruction Manual

3.4.4.2 P99 AS, Single Action Trigger

Traditional Single Action Trigger

After firing the first round all subsequent rounds will be fired with a traditional Single

Action trigger, until the pistol is reset to Double Action by pressing the decocker.

Anti-Stress Trigger

It is called “Anti-Stress” because the trigger pull of the P99 AS is the same length for

the first shot, regardless of whether it is double-action or single-action. The Anti-

Stress trigger functions as a sort of two-stage trigger, and lessens the possibility of a

stress-induced unintentional discharge.

a) Shifting to Anti-Stress trigger mode by manually reloading

The Anti-Stress mode is activated each time the pistol is reloaded manually while the

finger is off the trigger.

b) Shifting to Anti-Stress trigger mode by manually cocking

The Anti-Stress mode is also activated each time the pistol is cocked manually while

the finger is off the trigger:

Hold the de-cocked pistol with your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger

guard, point the muzzle in a safe direction. Pull back the slide by about .4” (10 mm)

and then move it back to its forward position. This puts the pistol in Anti-Stress mode

(trigger in the forward-most position and the striker cocked).

If the slide gets pulled to the rear more than .8” (20 mm), a cartridge in the

chamber is ejected.

To fire a shot after such manual cocking, squeeze the trigger. When the trigger is

released, subsequent rounds will be fired using the traditional Single Action trigger

with a shorter trigger pull, until the P99 AS pistol gets reset to Double Action by

pressing the decocker.

3.5 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.

WARNING: THE PISTOL IS READY TO FIRE.

WITH THE MUZZLE STILL POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION, KEEP YOUR

FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER AND OUTSIDE THE TRIGGER GUARD UNTIL

READY TO FIRE .
