Got to meet IDPA Steyr and Mrs Steyr, she's got a cute red M9 and matching holster. Had a balst.....literally
brought the M40 and 200 rounds of PMC 165 grain. Got to shoot the 3 stages set up per IDPA rules. It's been almost 4 years since I shot any competion or anything other than static standing there.

I did fairly well, better than I expected, but of course not as well as I wanted.
Everything went smoothly until I shot the wire controlling the moving target :roll: , seriously It wasn't on purpose .

met another gentelamn shooting an S9, so that made four of us shooting Steyr pistols. No one had any problems with pistols

I have made several posts about concerns with Steyr. Well, if things continue as they have this gun is a keeper. Not a single bobble. Accuracy is great even if I wasn't on target all the time. I didn't notice recoil at all. I'm going to try and get out more often and compete. It's a great way to train also.

Wonderful to hear that your gun is performing well.

May the Steyr god continue to smile upon us all.

Madecov, It was great to have you shooting with us last night. It had to be a first with a 4 Steyr match. You did well and I know you will enjoy shooting in the future. There is no way that standing and shooting compares with shooting while seated, moving, at moving targets, around a barricade...well, you get the picture.

All the Steyrs at the match worked flawlessly. There were 2 M9, 1 M40, and one S9. Not one malfunction during a 72 round match.

Anyone who in the Houston area who shoots a Steyr is welcome to join us. PM me and I'll give the details. I want to tentatively plan a Steyr only day for the third Saturday in October. If anyone is interested, let me know.
