Hi guys,
I am strongly considering an M9-A1. A few years ago, I switched over my handgun collection to Glocks for simplicity. I've been looking for something similar to a Glock and I think the M9-A1 fits the bill.
Before making the jump, I do have a few questions.
1) I saw a post about Steyr lowering the price of their handguns. Does the $539 price at Budsgunshop reflect this new lower price? I swear I saw Steyrs for sale a few years ago for around $400-450...
2) Has anyone ordered an M9-A1 from Buds recently? Are they sending out the new production models or older models?
3) When did Steyr start shipping the 17rnd mags with M9-A1s?
4) One thing that scares me is all of the issues about FTEs. Do the new production guns have this problem? If I happen to get an older model, does replacing the extractor fix the issue completely?
