I just bought a Steyr M9A1 from Wanstalls last week.
Fantastic service, prompt delivery.
As you've probably figured out, it's damn near impossible to find a Steyr to shoot before you've bought it - I bought mine based on specs and reviews alone and so far I am very happy with my purchase.
As others have said, magazines, accessories and parts will be hard to come by, but all can be procured over the internet with a little patience.
It's the best fitting grip I've ever felt on a pistol, the low bore axis really reduces muzzle flip and I love the (apparently controversial) trap sights.
IMHO you'll not find a better, cooler looking pistol for the money, and you will be the only one at the range who has one. Why buy what everyone else has?

I've been talking about buying a Steyr with one of my buddies - he suggested it to me - anyway - he bought one - so I will get to try it out! I think I'm sold on it anyway - but it will be fun to shoot first and buy later!
Digger,
I am currently shooting an M9-A1, its great.
I have owned two other pistols a XD-45 and a Para-45 Nite-Tac,
I have shot Browning Hi-Power extensivly in service, as well as some shooting with Sigs.
To date my favorite pistol is the Steyr.
I love its feel, the grip complaint is laziness, put something on it. But other then that the Ergos are great.
I like the Trap Sights, I would not want to replace them with anything else and I have shot Trijicon Night's.
I have shot almost 1000 rounds and have had only one FTE, and that was handloads.
I really like the look,
I can shoot well with it, its different and not everyone owns one.
I like the trigger, it fine,
Honestly I think that with most pistols, they will out shoot the shooters 95% of the time unless your hot ####e. So if you get one a practice then I bet you will be better then many glock owners ect.
End of the day for me, it looks good, its reliable, its fun to shoot and accurate... ya good luck!
