Smith & Wesson 99 Instructions Manual

							This handgun is not equipped with a
device that fully blocks use by
unauthorized users. More than 200,000
firearms like this one are stolen from their
owners every year in the United States. In
addition, there are more than a thousand
suicides each year by younger children
and teenagers who get access to firearms.
Hundreds more die from accidental dis-
charge. It is likely that many more chil-
dren sustain serious wounds or inflict such
wounds accidentally on others. In order to
limit the chance of such misuse, it is
imperative that you keep this weapon
locked in a secure place and take other
steps necessary to limit the possibility of
theft or accident. Failure to take reason-
able preventative steps may result in inno-
cent lives being lost, and in some circum-
stances may result in your liability for
these deaths.
The certification below is required only for handguns sold in the
United States with a barrel length shorter than 3”.
Smith & Wesson Corp. hereby certifies average accuracy test results for
all new handguns with a barrel shorter than 3” as follows:
7 yards 14 yards 21 yards
.22 cal. 1.7” 3.9” 5.1”
.380 cal. 1.6” 3.2” 6.3”
.38, .44 spec.
.44 Mag, .357 cal. 1.0” 2.1” 2.5”
This certification is based on tests conducted by Smith & Wesson Corp.
using a fixed handgun, rest and firing ammunition manufactured by a
member of the Shooting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute
(SAAMI) as defined in ANSI/SAAMI Z299.3-1993.
This certification represents actual tests based on several handguns,
selected at random. Your particular handgun may have accuracy better
than the results stated in this certification.  Any caliber handgun not
specifically listed will perform comparably to the nearest caliber listed.
