The Tenifer finish is between 0.04 and 0.05 mm (0.002 and 0.002 in) in thickness, and is characterized by extreme resistance to wear and corrosion; it penetrates the metal, and treated parts have similar properties even below the surface to a certain depth.^[source]Walther P99 · Design / Finishes; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The original, first-generation P99 had a traditional Double-Action/Single-Action trigger with a decocker .
