The problem with my P99 is not the spring... its the barrel.
The rifling of the barrel starts too close to the firing chamber, so any ammo with a bullet that does not taper inward just from the top of the case does not chamber properly. With some force, I can push a Triton round manually into the chamber, but the bullet gets stuck in the rifling and I can't remove the round without a lot of effort. (note: I'm not firing the round...just placing it in the chamber and then trying to remove it).
Also, The spring is not strong enough to force the Triton round into the chamber all the way, either, so the slide fails to lock all the way forward...I have to then yank the slide back with considerable force to extract the round with the bullet stuck in the rifling.
I have no problems with Ball ammo, silvertips, and some hollow points that taper inward just above the case...its the ones with the straight edge just above the case that cause problems with the rifling.
Am I the only one with this problem?
