The new Steyr M9 and M40 models are beginning to hit the streets this week. Anybody try one out yet?
I'd like to get some opinions other than the "wow" magazine articles I've read lately.
Interesting things about the new Steyr:
1. Lower bore axis than the Glock.
2. Short reset trigger somewhat like the Glock.
3. manual safety that you push up inside the trigger guard. A bit strange but ...
4. Key lock built into the pistol so it can't be fired or taken apart when the lock is engaged.
5. Measurements: almost exactly 7" by 5" by 1.18" -- very similar to a Glock 19/23/32.
6. Perceived recoil is supposed to be excellent and farily mellow.
7. Grip is supposed to be able to handle any size hand; in other words it's easy to get to the trigger.
So I might as well be the first to start a new Glock rumor Gee, I heard that the new finger groove Glock frames are almost impossible to get right now. They will be available in a month or so.
Maybe Glock is working on yet a newer generation frame to be politically correct in the good ol' USA, somewhat like the new Steyr pistols? It would be relatively easy for Glock to make this mod and probably blow away the new Steyr pistols before they catch on <G> ducking and hiding now.
