Call me Balance when the P40 is released AND has a button.
the push-button mag release is what I've got the most trigger-time on by far, but I took to the paddle-release like a duck to water
While I don't own a QA, I've done quite a bit of work on my PPQ and P99s and am very familiar with the trigger system. The P99 AS, P99 QA, and PPQ all use the same Sear Assembly. As such, the only way to increase pull weight on the QA would be to use a stronger Trigger Return Spring or Striker Spring. I would start by ordering the TRS for a P99 AS and installing that (come Feb when Walther USA has parts). If that doesn't do all the trick, they may have a heavier striker spring too.Sounds like you'll really like the new PPQ M2 then with its button style mag release.
Me? I prefer the paddle mag release. Really disappointed by this news, but after acquiring a PPS and liking the trigger on that, I think I might try to find a P99 QA for my next gun instead of the PPQ like I had planned.
Anyone know if a trigger job can be done to the QA trigger of the P99 to bring it down from 8 lbs to roughly 5.5 lbs? The travel/feel of the trigger is remarkably similar to Glock's stock trigger pull, except that it's slightly higher in pull weight. Supposedly 8 lbs vs. Glock's ~ 6 lbs. The PPQ trigger is stellar, but if I can get a P99 QA trigger down to around 5-6 lbs, I would be more than happy with that. Besides, I prefer the lack of front cocking serrations on the P99 and grip ergos are still very good. Not quite as contoured, but the overall shape is basically the same.
Well now, no push button P40 at '13 shot. Perhaps next year eh Balance?
Does this affect the PPK and PPK/S? Anybody know?Walther & Smith & Wesson never merged, they had an import and marketing partnership that ended in 2012.
Walther now has its own channels & no further relationship with S&W.
