TRIGGER - SW99
The SW99 features one double action and two single action
modes for firing.
DOUBLE ACTION
• The Smith & Wesson traditional double action mode begins
with the trigger in the forward position. The trigger is pulled
through the full length of travel, cocking the striker and firing
the pistol in one motion.
SINGLE ACTION - Trigger Forward
• The second operation mode features a cocked striker for a
long, reduced weight single action trigger pull. The SW99
will be in this mode after releasing the slide to chamber a
round or, when the gun is decocked, moving the slide 3/8” to
the rear and releasing. Although the trigger is in the same
forward position as the double action mode, the trigger pull is
much lighter.
WARNING: The single action trigger pull is
lighter and may be shorter than the double action
pull. Check the cocking indicator in the rear of the
slide to determine if you are in double or single action
mode before putting your finger on the trigger.
SINGLE ACTION - Trigger Rearward
• After firing, in either of the above modes, the pistol cycles,
ejecting the fired case, chambering a round and cocking the
striker. Subsequent rounds are fired in a short stroke single
action mode. The pistol should be returned to one of the
trigger forward modes before holstering. The SW99 can be
decocked from any trigger position.

AFTER FIRING

WARNING: During the procedure of manually cycling
the slide, any chambered round will be ejected and
should be recovered once the firearm is safely
secured.
•To return the trigger to the forward position, change the
magazine and cycle the slide to assure that the pistol is
ready to fire. This process will return the trigger to the
forward mode. If immediate readiness is not a concern, the
pistol may be unloaded.
OPTIONAL TECHNIQUE
• Pull the slide rearward 3/8” and then press the slide forward
to assure that it is in battery. This process will also return
the trigger to the forward mode.
WARNING: Keep your finger off the trigger and out of
the trigger guard during this process.
WARNING: Failure to cycle the slide “briskly” on a
loaded weapon could cause a jam.
