Attended a pistol class 4-6-13. The class was given by 914 Consulting at C2Shootng and it was a Vickers Shooting Method class. The class was great, the Steyr not so much. It started off fine, you know the drill. You are the only guy that shows up with "the other Austrian Pistol". Had a custom...

Hi, new to forum. I recently purchased a M111 professional in 30.06 used from Cabelas. Appearance was fine but in shooting for the first time, I experienced three fail to fires. Primer was dented in each case and the rest of the ammo from the same box fired fine. (Norma 165 grn) Not reloads...

A while ago I bought a Steyr GB online and in my haste to own one of these beauties, I might have got suckered. Starting with an unloaded gun: If I lock the slide back and then release it forward, the hammer follows !! Is this a fullauto situation waiting to happen ? I have not shot it yet. If I...

Does anyone carry the S9-A1 or S40-A1 daily?

Like I mentioned in a previous post, I'm looking at the S9-A1 to replace my PF9. On the PF9 the slide stop is a stop only and can not be used to release the slide once a new mag is inserted. Does the slide stop on the S9-A1 operate as a release or does it work like the PF9?

What do you look for, what is differnt about the followers and springs?

S model with C model innards and reliability? I've been doing a lot of handgun shooting lately, and the handgun that has stood out the most in terms of shootability is the Steyr M, S, and C series. Simply put, they excel in all categories except out of the box reliability in the case of the M...

Just joined and am navigating around the site. Didn't know it existed until I googled steyr looking for some info on converting my M357sig to a 40. Trying to save some change while target practicing. Anyway. Love shootin the thing and have finally figured out the triangle sights, as oddly...

I took my new S40-A1 to the range Saturday to try it out. I have heard that they are tight and may have some FTF/FTE initially. I had to fire 100+ rounds before I could get the 1st 10 round mag to not fail in some sort of way. What I had was: 1.) Failure to go into battery mostly 2.) Only one...

Ok. Im a noob to shooting and I bought as my first gun a M40 that was used but looks in great shape. I took it to the range today for the first time. I didn't get through two boxes of Federal American Eagle 180 grain 40 S&W without FIVE (5) jams. Needless to say I was pretty annoyed, and I...

I recently had problems with my trigger reset and un-authorized double-taps, so i got my gun back from SAI in Georgia, and went to the range shot off 110rds. with no problem. when I got home instead of cleaning it, i thought let me just keep it dirty and see if I can get it to malfunction. I got...

I willl soon be the owner of an M9, and I'm looking for a low profile laser sight. I believe the M9 has four indentations under the barrel in front of the trigger guard for mounting acessories. There isn't a rail however. Can I get a laser sight that will mount here? If so, from where? Thanks.
