Hello again all!

First off, thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! Secondly, a Happy and Reverant Veterans Day to all and in reply to the thanks for our service-you are all most welcome! We are glad to serve and feel priveleged to do so!

I would also like to ask for some assistance from any Steyr owners (specifically anyone who has an S9A1 or S40A1) in the Cleveland, OH area. As I mentioned above, I've shot an older M9 here at the military gun club (non-A1...shows how old it was), but sadly they have no A1s and S-series are out of the question (as is a trip to Austria...sadly, entirely too much to do before the move). Anyways, in mid-December my family and I will back there visiting the in-laws for Christmas as we get ready for our move to North Carolina and I really want to shoot an S9A1 to confirm it as my choice to replace my Kahr CW40 for EDC (long overdue). So far, I've only found one place that even carries them south of Sandusky in Bellevue, OH and he only had a C9 (and wasn't that helpful or friendly either...). If a kind soul was willing to meet us at a range, I would gladly pay for the ammo and would even help with trans expenses, if needed.

I'll repost this message in the general forums as well to try and get as much visibility as possible. Thanks again!

I'd help you if I could, but I only have the M9-A1. If that is helpful, then I can see what I can do. Otherwise, I don't know anyone in the area that has an S.

That might work if I can find an S at a dealer somewhere close by that I can handle and see how it fits the hand. I really liked the older M (non-A1) that I shot over here and from all my research, the A1s seem to be even nicer. If I can locate a dealer, I'll check back with you and see if we can set something up (would also be good so my father-in-law and maybe even the wife could try it out...gotta make more styeroids!). Thanks again!

Hiya Jason

I wish we still had the map-thing pinnin' all your SC Bros.

But, I guess that ain't happenin'. *sigh*

So, hey Bros out there in the Cleveland, OH area w/ S*-A1's? ... Ya out there?!

Or, anyone know of a range in the Cleveland area with S*-A1 rentals?

Anybody?

Wulf <-- loves it when Bros are out there helpin' Bros :thumbsup:

 

[afoic2005]

Anyone know of a S9A1 in the larger NE OH area? Really would like to try and at least handle one while we're back state-side...:drool:
