Being a wimp with small hands, both the weight and the grip size of the M9A1 as well as the short reset is great for me.
But what kills me is the trigger pull weight of 25N, while it breaks clean my finger just struggles to produce the amount of force.
Is it even technically possible to get it...
Hi there,
My eldest daughter loves my M40-A1 but does not like the recoil. So this weekend she bought an 2004 M9 at the local gun show. We took it home and I showed her how to clean and lube it. We fired it at the range today. She loves it, but with all three mags. the slide would not lock open...
Hi!
Today at the end of my training M9-A1 refused to reset. After I came home, I noticed that catch (nr 10 on parts diagram) would not come up to catch the firing pin. When I fully disassembled the frame, I have noticed that one of the tails of catch spring (part number 12) was broken. In total...
Hi there,
I sent my '05 M40-A1 into Steyr to have them fix the trigger safety not resetting all the time. I also mentioned that I sometimes have brass hit me on top of the head when firing it. They fixed the safety and replaced the extractor and ejector and sent it back to me. They were very...
Just got a C9-A1. Decided it was time for a 9mm. Tried range rentals for XD, and Sig 226 and 229. Son has a Glock. Decided on the Steyr. This fit great. Like the strange sights. They work well with older eyes. Not new to shooting or handguns, but new to Steyr. Unfortunately, the trigger...
s9-a1 brass gouging
Just got my s9-a1 NIB and i noticed cycling rounds that they are being scarred heavily by the rail underneath the slide. anyone else have this issue? the brass has 2 parrellel scrapes running down from base to mouth, and it goes pretty deep too. very troublesome, haven't...

Gentlemen.
I am new to Steyr ownership and so far my enthusiasm was kind of held back by some annoying trigger issues.
My gun is a low round count M9-A1 that I just purchased used last weekend.
I stripped Ms. Steyr's frame down to every pin, cleaned it, reassembled it and mounted it to the...
Ladies and Gentlemen,
as of yesterday I am the proud owner of a M9 - A1 (i think).
Bought the gun used, but according to the owner it has only been fired 100 times.
The condition of the gun supports said claim, as the finish is immaculate and there is 0 wear on all 3 mags.
Took it to the range...
Greetings everyone. This is my first post here.
Yesterday I took delivery of a brand new PW Arms M9-A1 from Cabelas. Today, I took it out for a test ride and had an odd experience. I'm going to chalk this up to issues with the ammo, but maybe someone here has seen this before.
I fired ten...

Looks like my new S40 is hit with the trigger reset bug. Have checked out Big Taco's trigger reset tutorial.
However, before I continue, let me run my scenario out to the club. Picked it up Friday as it came in that day. So once I got to the FFL/range, I took it like a little kid at...
Steyr M40 Serial 18682. Has trigger reset issue. 300 rounds fired through it.

For more info, check out this listing in the Steyr Club marketplace: Steyr M40 Serial 18682. Has...
I have an M357 that, surprisingly enough, ejects perfectly 99.5% of the time. However, the trigger doesn't always reset. A alight push forwards on the back of the trigger cures the problem.
What's the fix?
Does this "RAS" just refer to he post-2010 pistols (m/c/s -a1) with the roll pin under the rear sight or is it a newer update on those guns. I am basically concerned about ordering a most current gun with the revised extractor and trigger from a reliable source( nobody seems to have an m9- a1 in...
Fired my new c9 for the first time yesterday. It did every bit as well as my M&P. Wasn't sure I was going to like the trap sights but I think I do; they were very fast and I think I'll be able to do even better once I get used to them. My only complaint is that the mag doesn't drop free very...
I have a Steyr S40-A1 that I bought brand new. It had problems with ejection and such so I contacted customer service and had quick resolution with them sending me a new extractor.
I installed the extractor and went out to shoot it and the trigger went bad. It doesn't reset. You pull on the...
This is my first post so I'll make it simple and sweet. I have an M40-A1 I took it on a partial trade (at a value of $200 which is why I said yes in the first place), anyway, while looking it over I did the pencil test, wooden pencil, eraser down the barrel to test the firing pin. The pencil...
Finally made up my mind to get one. Will be EDC if it is as reliable as reputed. I need to choose between F and C, normal sights.
Size is not an issue. Trigger reset is. I prefer shorter reset. Can you guide me as to if the F really has a trigger reset as bad as sometimes reported?
The SIG P229 was the first gun to be made exclusively in New Hampshire rather than Germany. US vs German made SIGs are a controversial subject in the SIG community but I don't care where the gun was made as long as it performs as I expect it to; and this gun does.
I currently have about 600...
