Steyr GB
- Thread starter gforce55

The GB is really a neat, if overly complicated, design. There are only two kinds of recoil-reducing gas systems in handguns. The HK P-7 is the best of its type, and the Steyr GB is the only one I know of, of the other type. I've found it reliable and even fun to shoot. They're quite rare now -- you've got yourself a prize. And I agree: stay away from the Rogak.
Got three of them. The good: Have never ever gotten one to jam or hiccup. NEVER.
The bad: spare mags are non-existant. Hence why I have three GB's. The ugly: use cast lead bullets and the gun will explode. Its got gas ports and lead will plug them up.
The one of mine with the factory compensator has a 2.9lb single action trigger. The others have a 5lb single action trigger. The factory comped one has 60k plus rounds through it, still runs like a champ and makes little groups at long ranges. Never had anything break on the GB's. They are a fantastic gun and I wish Steyr still made them, or even just made spare mags.

The GB is the most simplistic pistol out there... 34 less parts than a Beretta 92. Not sure how you are defining it as an overly complicated design?
