Steyr L9-A2 Canadian arrival?

Soft. Probably one of the softest I've felt, but my experience with handguns is quite limited compared to most others here. Despite that, I can't recommend it enough. Definitely a top 3 favourite pistol of mine.
The M/L-9's very high hand position, particularly around the rear of the grip, results in one of the lowest bore-heights of any modern pistol. This prevents muzzle-rise and greatly reduces perceived recoil. The high grip position also allows recoil to be spread over the entire width of the hand, further reducing perceived recoil.
Aside from an annoying and distracting habit of occasionally ejecting an empty casing into the firer's forehead, the Steyr 9A1-series of handguns are really very good and far, far underrated (almost obscure). In that regard, they are an unfortunate and surely unintentional secret of the handgun world - at least in North America. Their somewhat erratic ejection has apparently been fully-addressed in the new models, which will be a welcone improvement. I am ready to buy the day they land on NM's shelves!

Steyr makes 3-Dots, and a few companies make night sights.
Steyr Offer the MF with the following:
Trapezoid Sights
Conventional sights
Conventional sights with tritium inserts
Adjustable match sights
The Tritium and Match sights raise the price by approx $184.00.
Our first batch are shipping with the Trapezoid and Conventional Sights.
Once our shipment is underway, all details and pricing for the CDN market will be on our forum.
We have a new website being created for Steyr Arms and Anschutz, all options will be there, but we wont have the site launched until the end of October.
I post up some photos here shortly.
