Functions flawless, less one hard primer misfire with a russian round. Fired many more since then, seemed to be a lone occurrence. I use whatever is cheap and has never been an issue. Great weapon! Don't knock the stock sites until you're tried them if you've read other people say they don't like them. Bright, clear, easy to pick up, and puts a nice fine point on whatever you want to hit.

I've enjoyed the feel and pointability of my .40 immensely.

When we go 'plinking', I am a fan of the 45cal. M1A. Have been for years, until I had the chance to shoot a Styer. I was so impressed, I bought one for myself, a couple of months later. After much discussion and aurguing, I have one. I'ts about the smoothest, more accurate hand guns I have owned. Soon after buying one, I hear that they are not going to importing them to the U.S. any more...........I wanted to buy several more in different cal. A 9mm and a 45cal. Well, I still hope I am able to purchase parts for my current model. If one wanted to buy any more Stryers and they lived in the U.S., how would this be possible???????

What ammo do you use in yours? I have found that Magtec is not bad but hard to find so yesterday went and bought winchester 115 grain 9mm in it to see if it works anybetter.

I'm having a hard time finding new mags for it here in town, but I love the gun. I just qualified yesterday to add it to my CCW. I shot better than most with it, and I'm hardly used to it yet. The sights on it are amazing, and after less than 100 rounds through it I was already hitting 9"x12" targets from 30 yards first shot. I just recently purchased an M40 used.

They contacted me and told me to send it in and they would take care of it. I don't know the fix though. If they told me, I don't remember as this was probably 8 yrs ago. They even sent me 1 or 2 magazines for the hassle. I hadn't had any problems with either of my Steyr's, I bought an A1 a few years ago. Wish I could give you more help on your extraction issue.

It's a great pistol, except for a consistent jamming problem. An earlier comment on this site stated there was an extraction problem that was fixed. Please read this and tell me about the fix!

The ergonomics, the accuracy and recoil control were all great. Mine went back to the factory twice for major failures. Second one was for it going full auto. While I loved the gun, I couldn't hang on to a gun that I couldn't depend on. With the competition being what it is, Steyr was never in the run anyway, so them throwing in the towel doesn't say or change much. I used to own a Steyr M9-A1.

I went to the range today and put it head to head with my Glock 19, the results were dead even. Both weapons had no malfunctions of any kind. When compairing the targets at the end of the day, I had a hard time telling them apart. I cant in all honesty say that I find any real advantage in owning Steyr M9-A1 over a Glock 19, now that all imports have stoped, extra mags and acc will be harder to find but as a "put back gun" the Steyr M9-A1 is one of the best hand guns ever made, bar none. H & K is a great weapon but over priced. Beretta is fine weapon but to big for what it is. Sig is another fantastic handgun but you will pay for it. S & W, I hate their pistols, their revolvers are 2nd to none. Walther.....???? CZ-75 Great pistol but heavy. This leaves Glock and Glock is at the top of the heap. Glock was the 1st one to the party and took full advantage of that fact. Steyr on the other hand was the last one to the party and now their is no one to dance with. In this current economic down turn law enforcement will not be trading in their duty guns like they did in 2000. Some bad timing on the part of Steyr. For those of us that own A M9-A1, lets just keep it our secret. LOL I have a Steyr M9-A1, I love this weapon.

The pointability and the placement of the releases are great. The only thing that I don't like is the lack of accessories and that could've been solved by better consumer response. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the Steyr handguns make a comeback. It is a shame that the Steyr pistols never took off in the U.S. I’ve owned the m40 and m40-a1 and loved them both.

I have always wanted a Steyr and now I can finally claim one as my own. The price was $9 more than CDNN but shipping was $9 less so it was a wash in the end. I cant wait for this pistol to be delivered to my FFL guy. If the ergos are anything like my PPS's then we are going to get along swimmingly. :) After reading this article I called Centerfire Systems and ordered myself an M9-A1 for the collection.

The patent had expired on the design so while the rifles in Iran were the Steyr design they were not made by Steyr. I just picked up a second one of these from CDNN myself as a spare.
