5 ADJUSTING THE PISTOL TO ITS USER
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE HANDGUN IS UNLOADED BEFORE
ADJUSTING.
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
.15” (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.
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.
Adjustment by one click moves the impact point approximately
.7” (2 cm) at a distance of 25 yards (25 m) (5.3 Fig. 1).
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.
CAUTION: Slide on polymer rear sight from left to right when installing it.
