I think what he is talking about is the Double Action to Single Action trigger pull. The Walther P99 has a decocker on the top of the slide that takes the trigger pull to 11 pounds uncocked (like a double action revolver). After the first shot the P99 is "cocked" and the trigger pull drops to a very light 3.5 pounds (like a revolver with the hammer cocked). I don't have a PPQ, but I read the article as it having a hair trigger after being cocked (1.5 pounds).

On a Glock the trigger pull is always a constant.

I like the P99 trigger, I am much more accurate and comfortable with it. Although I can squeeze the tension out of a Glock in my sleep without it firing....

The P99AS does one thing a little different. In a traditional DA/SA, the first shot is DA with a long trigger pull, subsequent shots are SA with a short trigger pull. The P99AS adds an "Anti Stress" mode where you have a light trigger pull of the SA, but a long trigger travel of the DA... on your first shot. (As I understand it)
