So the new Walther/S&W 99 pistols have what they call the "Anti-Stress" action. This is essentially a standard DA/SA action, however whenever you load a new magazine, the trigger doesn't automatically move back to the SA position. The shooter instead has to manually move the trigger back to the SA position, at which point it clicks and sets into place. The reason for this, supposedly, is to prevent a person from accidently firing off the first round due to sudden movement caused by a loud noise or whatever.
Here's where I get confused. If you're carrying your weapon, it should be in condition one and "decocked", or in DA. When you draw the weapon to fire, the first shot is DA, and the following shots are SA (when the weapon cycles, the trigger stays in the SA position). Only when you have fired all your rounds, and switched magazines, does the "anti-stress" trigger come into play. At this point, you've already fired 13-16 rounds!
Can someone shed a little light on this for me? Oh, and as a side note, I own a SW99 AS (or DA/SA) and I love it. The AS doesn't bother me because, like I just described above, I carry her decocked (in DA), so this isn't a P99/SW99 bashing post.
