Reduce the trigger pull on a P99 QA?

How heavy is it? I heard it's a bit heavier than a Glock.

On the Walther forum website, there is some guy doing an experiment by swopping out some springs w/ Glock springs. So far, he hasn't gotten it to fire reliably. So, for now, no way I know of.

I just got the older AS model with the DA/SA trigger. I really like it.

Yes you can, and the folks on this board haven't seem to have encountered any reliability issues yet.

It involves trimming a few coils off of the striker spring, which I would personally not do to a self defense pistol, but to each thier own.
 
Haven't shot it yet,but dry fired it.The "play " in the trigger is minimal,engaging resistance immediately,as opposed to the G19.The pull weight seems to be several pounds more than the 5.5 lb standard Glock trigger.I would like to fire the conventional DA/SA model,just for info purposes.I have never owned a Beretta 92,or P99,so-Here I am.
 
The trigger will loosen up with use.

I'm not sure why, but my AS P99 trigger 'feels' different (ie heavier) when I'm dry firing vs. with having ammo in the gun. Doesn't make any sense to me but I'd love to know what your impression is after some live fire.
 
yeah mine i have the p99QA, and it got better the more times i fired it. its really nice, hmm i would say its like my friends g22 but.. not all squishy, it is more crisp and has that snap when fired.
 
Tracer, here is a copy of a review I wrote about it a few days ago:

Well, got back from the range today - Took my new compact P99 A/S to the range for the first time.

I shot it a whole lot better than I ever did the Glock 26 I had (I sold it after several years to buy the Walther). It is a very accurate gun. I find that I will have to order that extended finger base plate for the 2nd magazine, however (1 mag comes w/ it, and 1 doesn't). When using the short mag, I keep shooting low. WIth the Glock 26, I never could master the trigger even after several years. The Glock 34 (w/ lighter trigger) is the only Glock I shoot well. But with the mag w/ pinky extension, it is a very accurate gun.

I will say that after 150 rounds (I shot about 175 thru it), my hand started to hurt. It's not really a long term range gun to shoot hundreds of rounds in. But, it will be my main CCW, and while I will keep in practice with it, I doubt I'll be shooting 150+ rounds in 1 setting again. I just wanteed to verify that the gun worked. Also shot about 20 hollow points thru it.

I had 1 target that I made a bullseye in two seperate circles, but I also used other ares of the target too, so I had rounds all over. Here is 1 target that I held on to after a few rounds, though.
