Gary, you sended me an awsome pistol, the trigger on this pistol is the best of all my pistol, on par with my Les Baer, i have found my 9mm pistol...
500 rounds tru the Steyr today and not a hiccup, the reset on the trigger is positive and so short...
Just to much fun, it make shooting and staying on target, very easy...
As usual, you gave me a good sound advice... Thanks and look at the result... JP.

I can dig these Steyr pistols, hope they decide to make a newer model in the future! Not that these aren't good enough, just excited to see new things from reputable manufacturers.
 
Just talked to Dan and told him, i want my name on a Steyr L40 A1, if they get some, i need one in 40 S&W badly now that i know... JP.
 
One thing is sure, would i had found these pistols first, i would never have bothered buying any other striker pistols of any other makes... But this is only one man opinion that is overwhelme to have discovered it.... JP.

I have an L9-A1 as well and it was my first gun. It's definitely slick looking and shoots amazing. If you can get the factory trapezoid sights on them, it makes it that much cooler looking. Oh, and it's quite easy to get use to the trap sights.

Did you get one with the the trap sites? Or are all of the current Canadian imports 3 dot?

Got the one with the Tritium night sights 3 dots system, even in the day time they are visible since at the range, we are enclosed in booth, they are my first Tritium sights, i will make sure to get these kind of sights on all my pistols, great help for aging eyes... JP.
 
Just was on the phone with Gary for my L40 A1 and he is gonna call the supplier if it will be possible to bring my L40 A1 with the trapezoid sights, i love the Tritium one, but it would be nice to have at least one pistol with them... They are supposed to be fantastic... Hopefully... JP.
 
I had both an M and an L. The grips on the Steyrs are absolutely fantastic, and the slide serrations are the best. The M9A1's trigger is pretty good but you could buy an inexpensive upgrade that smoothed it out significantly.
The L9A1 model has a better trigger than even that right out of the box. I won't say it's a PPQ trigger, but it's close.

The L also has marginally better accuracy and reduced muzzle flip than the M, but I also had problems with mags not dropping free, failures to return to battery and the spent brass being launched consistently at my head. At the end of the day I found the M to be more reliable, and had a better size : performance ratio. You can also actually find holsters for it.

I've got a pretty in depth thread here.


All that said, if the Steyr L came out in .357 Sig I would be first in line to buy one.

Also, I contacted Steyr in Austria regarding the lack of available trap sights here and they mailed me a set right away! That was pretty cool.

It would seem they have worked all the little bugs out of the pistol, i know 500 rounds is not a fullproof test but none of the problems you had, showed up here... I cant find one thing so far that bugged me, i was more impressed than anything by this L9, especially, i had my Les Baer with me so i could swich pistols for comparaisons.... Looking forward to get my L40, hopefully with the trapezoid sights... And we will find a way to bring a L357 Sig to Canada, i am pretty sure... JP.
 
I've shot at least 2000 rounds through mine and have had ZERO issues. The HK fanboys like to poop on Steyr pistols because the cost is around half but they really are great quality guns. I have a custom leather holster made for mine from a buddy in North Carolina. Looks great too!
 
My brother has the 40-A1, and loves it way more than his Glock. He states the bore axis is low, so recoil feels much less, less muzzle flip and reacquires the target quicker than the Glock. I have only held it and it feels great, points nicely, the trapezoid sights are different but you get used to them real quick and the trigger is super ! Saving up to buy mine. :)

Next, i will be on the case for a Steyr 357 Sig... M357 A1 ( hard to get but i will do extra and pay extra to get one) to add to L9 AI and M40 A1, that should be a hell of a trio... JP.
 
Made a little video of the Steyr pistol trigger and reset... JP. ( Please press on picture )

Good luck with that, the single batch of M 9mm and .40 models that made it into Canada had specially made extended barrels. I'd be very surprised if there was even one in Canada. Maybe you can convert a .40 somehow.
