a friend of mine owns one, and i've handled it on several occassions. it shoots well, about 2" group. the only problem i had with it is that when it is fully loaded with 10 rounds, i had difficulty pulling the slide back to chamber the first round. i'm not sure why it was so difficult, but my friend and a few others tried it and they had the same difficulty. my friend is going to contact steyr about it and see what the deal is. other than that, it's a nice gun. i still prefer my hk uspc .40 to it, but that's another post. good luck in your decision
