I owned and shot dozens of 99s and there is a lot of variability in the triggers.

I've had 99s with just flat ass awful triggers like the one you describe and some that were actually reasonably tolerable and everything in between. I can put up with a 5lb trigger if it isn't mushy and full of slack. I don't work on 99 triggers or have them worked on. I either tolerate them or I don't. The worst have found new homes.


I can tolerate a gun with a less than perfect bore, but I simply will not tolerate an awful trigger.
