I just won this and a 12 month membership at the range where I shoot PPC with a group. Not what I would call a club but close.

I have never shot a Steyr but it feels good in my hand. This one is in 9mm.

I have heard about this sight style, but again, have never used them.

Does any body have any experience with Steyr or these sights?



I am getting ready to tear it down and polish the feed ramp and condition with EEZOX. I'll hit the range tomorrow.



Now I have to order another set of dies and turret for my press!

I agree...

The Steyr M40A1 was at the top of my list....before the "troubles", aka the possibility of Steyr rifles being found in fascist Islamic hands and the subsequent semi-withdrawal from the US market.



Having the USA headquarters about 9 miles from the house might've had a little to do with that maybe.

Hit the range today with the new Steyr.

After polishing the feed ramp and conditioning with EEZOX last night, I reassembled the M9-A! and sent 200 rounds down range. It performed flawlessly.

The sights took a little getting used to. If I line them up as pictured above I am shooting 4" low at 7 yards. If I stack the sights to form a pyramid I am dead on out to 15 yards. This pistol is a tack hammer! I just wish that I was as consistent as it is!

The trigger pull is just about perfect for me. It has a crisper break than the M&P but the take up is not as smooth owing to the design of the trigger safety. This may be a technique issue, although it is really not a huge deal as it only effects the first shot. The reset is so distinctive that I never had to fully reset the trigger even in 2+1 drill from concealed.

My M&P40c has a more comfortable feel for me but this points naturally and has very little muzzle flip. The grip is quite different than the M&P (not as "sticky") but still nice. It won't be taking over as my primary carry but it will be a very viable alternative once I get 1000 rounds or so through it.



Now I have to get a IWB made up for it!
