My A1 is without the safety. While I won't ever use it I would not object to having it.

The Ergo's on the A1 are way better than the M.

I love my A1 :mrgreen:

The A1 grip has the same angle. The backstrap and the front strap are more refined. The texturing makes the grip slip less in the hand. The way the finger grooves have been molded it just seems to feel better in the hand. Funny thing is, even though the M and A1 are the same size, the A1 just feels larger in the hand.

The gun also has a new extractor plunger. I don't know if the extractor claw has been changed in any way. My A1 has not had a single fired brass case come back at me since the first round. My M had one or two cases come back at me every 200-300 rounds for the first 500 or so rounds.

The A1 is basically a few subtle evolutionary steps and improvements on the M.

If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for your new Steyr?
I intend on buying one this weekend, and the local shop has one for $395, but i think it is the older M-Series. I personally like the manual safety in the trigger guard, and although i am not sure if the one in the local shop is the older M-Series or the MA1, I think that $395 is an excellent price.
But i am also very interested in the 2-Tone model of the gun and want to see what the price difference is, so i acn consider the option of having them order one for me.


Thanks

Don't go by me. (see my sig line). I got at wholesale minus $30.00. One distributor had a during July.

At $395.00 in a store I would say it has to be the older M. The A1 has a dealer cost higher than that with shipping. Unless they are selling it to dump it.

No US distributor that I am aware of has the A1 with stainless slide. Mines going to get chromed
