[@Reupload-Kanal-Von-Lukas-Heil]

What, there was a gun in this video ?

[@4e616d65]

Here's a plus I found one year shortly after acquiring my Steyr-Hahn. I had to take it to a gun show to show it to a gentleman there who dealt in oddball calibers and other items so see if he had the proper clips for it. At the entrance I handed it to the officer who has to clear and zip-tie the weapons. I watched him for a few minutes as he tried to remove the magazine to insert the tie. After a minute or so of holding back my shit eating grin I told him how the pistol functioned.

[@IR4TE]

The only downside of this pistol really is the internal magazine, otherwise fantastic pistol.

[@steelths1781]

For shooting in the modern day yes but for 1912 it's actually better to use stripper clips just because they're so much cheaper and lighter

[@lairdcummings9092]

In the era of "California Compliant," this gun is useful again. If I still lived on the granola coast* I'd find this a viable weapon. * Fifth generation native son; I get to say these things.

@@lairdcummings9092 nothing more than 7 though

[@demonprinces17]

Considering the competition it was advance

[@silverwolf2509]

If I'm not mistaken, you can also single feed this thing. That is an advantage in situation, where you shoot only a small amount of bullets. This way it can be reloaded faster than revolver and it is also much faster than to take mag from normal pistol and push one or two rounds in there, and than put it back. It should be also considered that this is more than 100 years old design, and in those times, there were many worse designs.

@@BelialsGenuflect Yeah, it looks about right for an early 1900’s automatic pistol. When I think of 1980s, a Glock 17 or Beretta 92 comes to mind.

[@LordRalphingtonPukesmythe]

I think the real miracle here is they were able to find 9mm Steyr

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

I think most of these are handloads, but there are a few places to find ammo (either someone has surplus or there's one random company that manufactores it).

[@mrflapjacklover]

It's important to remember the way that pistols were issued, generally with very few magazines, if it was this with plenty of ammo on good clips or a Luger with 2 mags? I'd take the Steyr hahn

[@nemoskull2262]

and magazine with 1910 metalurgy probably was hit or miss anyways.

[@Immafraid]

I’d take a 1911 over either but given the choice between the Steyr and Luger, probably the Steyr Hahn.

[@proCaylak]

as another comment said, at that time detachable magazines were rare compared to clips. besides the metallurgy, soldiers were used to clips and they weren't trusted much with detachable magazines. it should be remembered that, this was the tail end of magazine cutoff on rifles.

[@jamesslick4790]

@@proCaylak Yep!

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

Honestly yeah, as good as the Luger is I'd personally take the Steyr. Mag capacity is the same, 9x23 isn't too different from 9x19 (in this case), the sights are better since the Luger's toggle-action makes them annoying, and the Steyr seems to be much more durable. Plus, if I don't have a clip/magazine? No big deal, just strip a few rounds from a spare MP-40 mag or something and I'm set.

[@JF-xq6fr]

Magnificent pistol. I was asked to replace the extractor on one, and seeing it disassembled I was in awe of its incredible workmanship, fit and finish, and design... Like a rotating barrel? It has it. Grip panels slide in and out in milled grooves, and it takes 5 seconds to disassemble. Good 9mm Steyr caliber, and if it were a box magazine design it would have been IMO, one of the top pistols of WW1. Ahh heck, it is still one of the best of WW1.

[@SlavicCelery]

Mae, the fact that this minute isn't just Othais's scattering rounds and laughter....a little sad. Still a great video!

@@ScumfuckMcDoucheface Keanu is surprisingly good in it. Or to put it another way, the role is well suited for him.

First Steyr-Hahn clip on this channel that I haven't seen Mae laugh as Othais ejects a magload of rounds into his own bearded face.

[@slightenigma]

[@mrfluffytailthethird]

Are you crazy the Luger is vastly better in multiple ways The grip angle is as bad as a tt33 If dirt gets into the internal magazine and jams it you have to send it to the armory to take it down and clean it And 9mm Luger is a little more powerful than 9mm Steyer You can also get snail drum mags for the Luger giving you a massive increase in capacity and you can put a stock on the Luger For increased stability

[@BabyBeater]

C96 yes, Luger no

[@TreacherousFennec]

I've heard that Austrian gendarmerie and some officers used this pistol as their sidearm well into the 90s, is that true by any chance? It's a well made pistol though, and we all know gendarmerie always use hand-me-downs from the army and such.

[@scottrichardson8158]

It was used by the government of the 1938-45 era; retrofitted for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. Originally designed for the 9mm Steyr cartridge; which was not quite as powerful.

Anything is possible. Sheriff's office near me had M1 Carbines in patrol vehicles as late as 2010.

@@pdav3213 yup, israeli and thai police still use m1 carbines, turkish gendarmerie still use G3 or HK33 while the army moved on to the much better MPT... gendarmerie and police always use the army surplus equipment

[@protestnikvorgon2698]

I took some shots with this gun in 1992, it was awsome to me, a new form of handling a pistole from this decade. The ammunition in 9x 21 Steyer is very powerful, but the weigth of this handgun absorbed the energy on every shot more comfortible. An interesting handgun.😉 Greatings from Germany🍀👍

I bought a Steyr M1912 with a box of Sinoxid 9x23mm ammo many years ago. It had been nickle plated with plexiglass grips installed by the G.I. who captured it in Liège, Belgium in 1945. It functioned well but shooting it gave me the worst case of hammer bite of any pistol I have ever fired. I eventually traded it for a "G.I. sporterized" Walther G41.
