Walther P99 in IDPA

[wenneker]

I understand that I can use my P99 in the Stock Service Pistol division. Do I have to start de-cocked (e.g. first shot is DA)?
Starting with a DA shot whould possibly be along with the spirit of the rule that SA/DA pistols have to start "hammer down" when competing in SSP, but I would like to double check.

Thank you.

In SSP all start with the hammer down, safety on or off, depending on the pistol. First shot would be double action from the holster.
