Steyr Arms has rounded off their pistol line with the introduction of the updated compact-sized C9-A1. They now offer a full sized (MA-1), compact (C9-A1) and sub-compact (SA-1) in the new and improved “A1″ series.

The A1 series improved the original by adding an improved grip, picatinny rail and the removal of the manual safety button that was located inside the triggerguard.

    The Steyr S IS NOT A SUBCOMPACT.Get your shit right. The Steyr C model is the same full size frame as the M model coupled with the compact slide of the S model.
