I'm trying to troubleshoot the erratic ejection on my C9A1, and I heard that erratic ejection often is due to a faulty extractor. I also heard that a good extractor will hold the round in place as it's pulled back, and if you clear the pistol with no mag in it, the round should still kick out...

Here's the set-up. Steyr M357-A1, excellent condition. Functions 100% in every way - but one. Georgia Arms Canned Heat factory reloaded .357 SIG FMJ ammo. When fired, somewhere through a magazine, the gun will begin producing light primer strikes to the point it will not fire. Gun field...

Today I was able to take my Taurus TCP out for a spin, and I must say she handles like a dream. Between me, my wife, and a friend of mine, the little TCP shot 80 rounds of cheap Russian ammo ($8 for a box of 50), and 50 American Eagle (or some such) flawlessly! I had no failures to feed or to...

This past Monday my wife and I went to the range and shot her C9-A1 and my M9-A1. My M9 was consistently low with "groupings" at about 15 yards and at 10 yards as well. I shot her C9 and it was dead on accurate, comparatively so. Yes, I know how to use the sights and am wondering if...

I was "lucky" enough to score 2 boxes of 50rds each (100rds total) of Winchester SXZ 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ Flat Nose "Training". Has anyone else had experience with this ammo? My M9-A1 ran great and all but as I was disassembling it to clean it tonite, I noticed it was extremely dirty after...

OK, what is the straight story on the current crop of M9-A1's (with updated trigger, roll pin, etc) regarding any issues? I can't keep track. I am about to buy a brand new M9-A1 and want to know. If there are still issues, I am not gonna bother and will just use my old S9 , which has been...

Hi all, Finally got to the range with my new C9-A1. I shot 122grn fmj fp's and 115grn Fmj RN ammunition. Sights: It took me about 30 rounds to get somewhat used to the trap sights. Over all I think they will be as good as three dot..maybe better for me.. Feeding: Had one FTF in a hundred...

Hi there, a couple of weeks ago I started shooting a bit to the left. So naturally I thought "need to work on the fundamentals again!"... and so I did... aaaaand nothing... still to the left. I never doubt the sights of the gun but yesterday I went to the range to do some basic drills and still...

I'm just back from shooting my new m9a1 for the first time and all seems to be working well. I put 100 rounds of sellier&bellot through it with no failures of any description. I have to say the sights are excellent, but my shooting wasn't great! I will just have to shoot a few times to get...

What is the best load that the Elite 308 likes to eat?

First off, thanks to ThorInc for inspiring me to finally... bite the bullet? Drop the hammer? Or some other appropriate saying meaning "to stop being a wuss and just buy a damn Steyr." :) I'd been following the M9 for many moons and decided that when I finally got my firearms license, it was...

This rifle continues to amaze me. For a light barreled sporter with a plastic stock it shoots nearly as consistently as my Remington PSS did. Not quite as tight but as consistent. A couple of days ago at the range shooting at 100 yards with a newly added Kahles 3-9x42 scope I fired 5 groups...

Hey guys new to the forum I was looking for a m40-a1 mag that holds more than 12 rounds. I read a post someone stating they had a 15 round mag. I cannot find one that holds 15 rounds. If someone can send me a link to buy a mag that would be nice.

Ok, I have looked through the forum, and I emailed Steyr directly when I first purchased the gun: but never got an answer. I do believe that it may just be an extractor issue based on some other posts. When I unload my Steyr S40-A1 the round does not fly out of the gun like it does in all my...

I did a little trading this week. I had three bolt rifles (Savage and Remington) that I had restored and were extraneous, mostly trading fodder. I decided to deal them. When the shop made their offer I suddenly had enough for a new Kimber 84M LPT (Light Police Tactical) in .308 and a Leupold...

This is a place to post about your experience with SAI's customer service. They're quickly building a reputation as being the best in the business. By posting in this sticky, new owners and potential owners can get a feel for what to expect should their Steyr need service.

Finally got a chance to break-in and sight-in my Prohunter Stainless 7mm Rem Mag. A pain in the butt, but a joy as well. Decided the first shots would be mostly a waste, so I went with inexpensive Maine Cartridge Company 139 gr Hornady BTSP. I wanted them 2.4 inches high at 100 yards, and it...

Hi folks, I have to formally print a retraction for the problems I reported with my M9 in recent posts. I have come to the conclusion it was operator error in the form of dereliction of cleaning duties. Readers may recall that my M9 was failing to extract (FTE) on nearly every magazine a...

I understand that it is a requirement of new personnel here to submit a range report, so here is mine, hope it is acceptable: Took my M9A1 to the range today for the first time and brought along my Walther P99 for comparison. Initial shooting was done at approx 40 feet. Accuracy and tightness of...

my wife has been having increasing stovepipes, even though her limpwristing is getting better (not gone). I have never had the issues w/ my S9 that everyone else who's shot it has (wife, nephew, buddy and his fiamcee). I'd estimate 2-3000 rounds I've personaly put through it since i got it in...
