I just went and got my first Steyr M40-A1 from my FFL. After doing a lot of research on this pistol I hope I am not disappointed. It will be a nice addition to my Ruger, a Canik55,and 2 Sigs.

I've never really concerned myself with my M9-A1's history or rather background, I just assumed it was a Steyr like MANY others and that all the #'s matched up (frame, slide and barrel) Well, scrolling thru some old posts I find a reference to "FrankenSteyr" after some research I've learned my...

Hey everyone- I'm soon to join the Steyr (hopefully happy) owners club. I just purchased an S9-A1 and it should be arriving any day now. Had to search high and low with the current craze- but finally located one at a Cabelas in West Virginia. Luckily they were nice enough to sell and ship me a...

I recently came across an S9 on Armslist. I traded up for it, and all I can say is wow! I have never owned a polymer wonder, but have handled many different kinds and the Steyr feels marvelous! The ergonomics are great and the trapezoidal sight picture makes me wonder why 3 dots are the norm in...

Okay, so in the thread below, I have chronicled my S&W PPK. Now on to the other PPK (I have two). Will try to make a long story short. Got it at a pawnshop as it was advertised as a Pre-War. I memorized the serial number, went home and confirmed it was made in 1935. No problems there. Only...

Hey guys, just signed up after owning an s9 for a while now. Been shooting it and have had MANY FTE's, stovepipes and FTF's. I thought it was just a matter of time and breakin period. Today I went to the range and shot out of 1 of the original 10 rounders and used (3) 17 rounders, two of which...

I cannot find a holster for this thing anywhere! I've gotten several phone calls and e-mails telling me that they don't have anything for a steyr with a light or laser...any help?? I feel like I've searched everywhere!

After a lot of research online and at YouTube university, I bought the M40-A1 for my first handgun. I'm very happy with it - light weight, smooth shooter and no jams so far.

Hi Steyr community, Since the present "gun law panic" I decided to look around and maybe get a new gun. While I was shopping several places, I found a Steyr MA1 at Cabela's. Being from Europe, I am familiar with Steyr. After a little research I found the info available confusing. Now I am...

Okay here's my Steyr S40 A1 journey. My children ordered a Steyr S40 A1 for Christmas for me on December 21st (What great kids!) It finally arrived on January 23rd. I took to the range on the January 27th. I fired 75 rounds of Federal range & target ammo through it without one hitch. Prior to...

Hello: New member here, I have a prohunter in .260rem that a pervious owner tried to make into a 'brush gun'. It looks like they cut the barrel with a hacksaw, recrowned it with a dremel, and, just for giggles, bored out the rifling with a drill bit. The barrel is ~17.5" from the locked bolt...

I am looking for a new S40-A1 either in or to be transferred to Mississippi (where I'm stationed) or Texas (where I'm a resident). Can anyone find one? This will be my first firearm, so, I am turning to the community for some help. Thanks!

I have come to this place seeking wisdom. I do not own a handgun, but am planning to obtain one...my personal "executive order". ;D Anyhow, I have only shot a few handguns In my lifetime, I have a couple other firearms...but no handgun. I have been doing research the past few weeks and I...

Howdy, folks. I guess I joined this forum awhile back when doing research on Steyrs. Since then, I've been looking for a used one (because I'm cheap) with no luck -- until today! I fell in love with the gun a couple years ago when I picked up one at a pawn shop and looked down the sights. I was...

Hi all, So I'm new to the Steyr world. I think the designs are really neat. I've been thinking about a 40SW as with the current craziness I have a hard time finding 9mm and 45ACP but 40SW is everywhere. A local LGS has a Stey M40-A1 with SOM date code, so 2005? Gun is in good shape and comes...

Hello all, new to the forum. I had read about the "hybrid" M9 9mm Steyr at Cabelas on this forum after I had already purchased one ($379.99)on 12/28, (not knowing the particulars). I must admit I was somewhat beside myself that I had not done a better job of researching what I was purchasing...

Hello everyone.....first time poster here. Due to the experience I've had with the Sig Sauer P938 and a 10-15% FTE rate with my first outing at the range :wall:, I have placed a S-A1, 9mm on order with my LGS. :drool: Hopefully it serves me well!!!!

I picked up a new c9-a1 and brought it to the range for the first time and had issues with the slide not locking back after firing the last round. i have two 15 round mags and it happens about 40% of the time, due to excitement of my new steyr and frustration of malfunction i wasn't aware of...

So last monday i went saw the new bond flick,skyfall, loved it. Had to buy a new gun, wanting to stick with 9x19. Notice the villan's gun is one i've heard about but constantly avoided the m9a1. Did some research and went a third a way across the state to buy my m9a1. Its a pw arms marked...
