P99 QA vs AS

[Rob Roy]

Which one do you prefer and why?

[BHPFan]

I just prefer the trigger on the AS more.

[ghideon]

AS. I grew up shooting DA/SA autos. The only non DA/SAs I like are 1911s.

[zman]

I will be very interested in the results here.

Since Glocks are aplenty (meaning mostly preferred), I would assume people would like the QA version, right?

[lobonegro]

I prefer the AS, super short reset on the trigger.

[aca72]

AS for me!
DA is smooth, SA is crisp.

[Gregchico]

The AS trigger is super smooth (for a striker gun).

[Black Majik]

Definitely AS

For those of us who are unfamiliar with the P99, what are the differences?

[Kelvrick]

AS is DA/SA, QA is DAO

That's for the AS trigger. The QA trigger is more Glock-like. The AS has a decocker that is meant to be used. The QA has a decocker that is to be used to disassemble the weapon. As such, to decock a QA you have to stick a pen or something in there. QA doesn't have restrike like the AS.

what does the P990 have?

[jimmythebrain]

That depends...

For a range gun I would go with an AS trigger P99.

However, for a concealed carry/self defense gun, the AS single action "follow up shot" type very light trigger pull could be an issue. If a person is not comfortable with the light single action trigger pull of a 1911, then they should shy away from the AS trigger and go with the QA trigger.

what does the P990 have?

P990 is DAO (double action only). See Doc Lunde's FAQ regarding the P99 series:
