Hi Jim,
You're supposed to ask for advice
before you buy a gun.
What model did you get?
I didn't see this until today. I hope it serves you well.
I had a PT99 Beretta look-a-like with adjustable sights for about 2 years.
One of my first guns, and a good learning experience.
I could shoot it OK, but I didn't really care for the trigger all that much. Kinda squishy.I also didn't like the adjustable sights because, unlike all others I've seen, the rear sight floated and could tilt whenever it wasn't set all the way to its most downward posistion tight against the slide. Hit it on something, and it might break off.
The safety was also a big concern of mine. If you move the lever too far downward while going from on-safe to off-safe, you can go too far and end up putting the gun in decock mode without knowing it. Pulling the trigger with the safety being held downward, even a little bit, will cause the gun to go click instead of bang when you pull the trigger.
I had bought the PT99 asdefensive gun, but it got retired from that role when I saw how the safety and sights were. Plinked with it for a while, and then sold it to somebody who liked it better than I did.
