This is only my opinion, so no hating please. I tried to cover all of the things I thought were worth mentioning after spending the afternoon with my two pistols: Walther PPQ 5 Inch and the Steyr L9-A1. The list shows where I think one model is slightly better than the other, in my opinion? I...

Hi all, After being shot briefly yesterday by my Pastor (who loved the gun, by the way), my S40-A1 has started to make a strange rattling noise when I tilt the gun up or down. It also feels as if something is sliding around in the slide. I immediately unloaded the gun and took it apart to...

Like the title of the thread says, I've got a blind date with a March 2013 production Steyr M40-A1. I have never even so much as held one, but that didn't keep me from ordering one today. I'm super excited and I'm anxious to get to know this pistol. One area that I seek knowledge in is...

Picked up an ffl transfer of a zastava m57, new production version.....while doing my 4473 form I look down and see a fnh fns. This pistol had never caught my eye befire. So I ask the gunstore counter man if I can see it. Played with it and I got to say it is one seriously overlooked pistol...

Hey all, With all the new members checking in and asking questions about holsters I thought I'd post reviews of my two Galco holsters. I was first introduced to Galco while looking for a nice IWB (in waste band) holster for my Bersa Thunder 380. I found a nice tuckable holster (TUC456) made...

Hey all, I picked up a box of Russian LVE 9x17 (.380) cartridges from my LGS for use in my Bersa Thunder 380. I was wondering if any of you had any experience with this ammo. At $8.00 for a box of 50 I figured it was worth trying out. I just don't want a bad round to blow up my gun! Thanks!

Hey guys, just thought I'd check in, I tend to lurk, read a lot but decided to "take the plunge", this seems like a great forum and TONS of info. I've read quite a few posts where other members were having complications with their Steyrs and that got me to thinking (dangerous I know) I have an...

Hey all! I'm relatively new to the Club here, been stalking a while. I picked up an S40-A1 back in February and have put 170 rounds down range. The guns a beauty, I really like it, but I'm having trouble with the TriTrap sights. As my name implies, I'm a Walther fan and absolutely love my...

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...

Anyone have the S&W version? I have read there is much ado about the S&W version. What are your thoughts?

Hello, I have a Steyr M9a1 with the date code IOW (Sept. 2010). I have not shot the pistol much but my friend is going to use it for a multi-day handgun course. Is there any way to tell if my gun has the updated extractor? I would just hate for it to be a problem mid-course. I am also...

Background: My first non-issue firearm was a Steyr M9-A1 circa Christmas, 2007. I loved the handgun, though I did have the old "short" magazine spring issue, and Jeff was kind enough to send me a replacement extractor upgrade. Later, when SAI dropped the M9 line from the market, I ditched the...

....cold as **** here but I'll be testing it at the outdoor range tomorrow! Joins the FN57 and Walther P22 in the range bag.....Looking forward to learning more about the gun on the forum...

Went with the S-40A1 for packing in my purse. We had one of the original M9s back in the day and it is the only gun we regret selling. I go through personal carry firearms like eating potato chips, because I just can't find one I really *like* enough to live with all the time every day. I do...

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...

Hey all! Firstly, no spoilers here. But secondly! Near the end of the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, check out the villain's handgun - it's definitely a Steyr M40. :)

Today 10-03-12 I went to my local (New to the area)gun shop and found a pre-owned M9-A1. Or what I thought/ was told was an m9A1. I now believe it is an M9. Anyway, I traded in my 2 week old walther PPS and put the Steyr on layaway( gonna pick it up on payday). I knew the grip wasn't the latest...

hello everybody, after a long wait we finally got our new old M-9 out of the military depot in the domenican republic. it had the slightest corrosion and came with one 10-round magazine,which should be sufficient for self-defence. luckily some soldier sold us 100 rounds of aguilla 124grain luger...

hello everybody, i am new to the club,having by chance found a m9 1st generation in a dominican gunshop.i am originally from germany and would have prefered the walther p99,whatever generation. since gunownership is strictly limited in germany,i could only practice with a co2 4.5mm walther cp...

Ok. I own or have owned: Glock, Caracal C, M&P, Kahr, Walther PPQ, XD9. I'm looking for the 'perfect' gun for me for: Carry & IDPA. I always shoot IDPA with my carry gun. Right now that is a Gen4 G19. I have held the Steyrs, and I like the feel. Better trigger than my Glock also. My PPQ is...
