Steyr C9-A2 MF - The Best Polymer Striker Fired Pistol?

[@shadowdefensive]

Thanks for this video! Im a huge fan of this platform! We make holsters for the Steyr now if anyone needs them!

[@belayasmert9943]

I have the steyr m9a2 at PSA for $375.00 which was an insane deal. beretta apx centurion, Canik tpsf elite from classicfirearms for around the same amount for the two others. IMHO for the price you get hella alot for the price. All are flat shooters, great ergos, excellent triggers with short reset. Quick and easy sight alignment. All three are part of my EDC rotation. I couldn't ask for anything better for the price. If anyone can find any of the above mentioned tools of Lethality don't hesitate to purchase one.

Ok so I’m at my gun store getting ready to buy a p320 xcompact and walked out with this,Why? I just shot it at my range, This is GOLD a secret gem💎

[@-NOGOODRACING-]

Great review! The Steyr M9/C9 series pistols are designed ahead of its time. The bore axis is very low, almost feels like the barrel is in the plam. Tightest slide to frame rail fitting compare to many other polymer frame pistols, beefier and sturdier frame rail; space age laser gun look, even some what Cyber Punk style with the rail and factory friction pad/stippling areas. Traingular "Trapezoid" sight is snag free, fast to aim and sturdy. Steyr USA really need to spend some more time to work on their product marketing.

[@MDpolo]

I couldn’t agree with you more. Their marketing department is awful. Thank you very much for watching.

[@robertborne895]

Great pistols…horrible marketing department

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

I just picked up the M9 A2 MF out of the door for $469 tax FFL everything. Just like you I haven't been to the range yet. It's been a busy week but hopefully I'll get out there tomorrow or the next day. Great review, I'll come back for more. 👍

I absolutely love my Steyr! For some reason the trapezoid sites elevate my game and I can shoot so much better. Great video!!

[@MDpolo]

They are some of my favorite pistols. People complain about the trapezoidal sights but I love them. Trapezoidal night sights would be fantastic! Thank you very much for watching.

[@brwhyon]

I alternate between this at 17 and my Springfield Edm elite with 20 plus one, same size, but the Steyr feels so much better in the hand, it also shoots much flatter. Best unknown handgun in the world. Thanks for you info.

[@MDpolo]

I agree with you. It is the best polymer pistol that few people know about. Thank you very much for watching.

[@TnSteyr]

Great video one thing to help with a slight correction The A2MF Is the ( 5 gen ) of the Steyr polymer pistols. Yet as for the lawsuit with sig as of jan 2021 it was dismissed on yet one level but the lawsuit does spanned 2 countries and I believe is set for an appeal in the USA. Yet the best thing about Steyr compared to any other brand is out of the Box you do not have to upgrade anything or make adjustments to it .

[@JacksonWalter735]

Someone at the range this past weekend let me shoot this Steyr and I was completely blown away. It's such a soft shooting gun, the grip texture is amazing without being sandpaper rough, and the trigger is great. The sights took a little getting used to but once I did this was so accurate. I'm currently researching this pistol to get other people's opinion before I purchase one and yours is one of the top results. Your video was extremely helpful. P.S. funny that you mentioned the Beretta APX. The APX Target (along with my M&P 2.0) is what I was using at the range before I tried this Steyr pistol.

I have a M9-A1 with a DPM return spring and BT striker spring and Delrin striker spring bushing. That really improved my trigger, even though it was good before I made the modifications.I painted my front sight bright orange and my rear sight dayglo green with Testors paint. That really made them pop! I added Talon grips and a “slide spider” slide racking assist. I tried the BT guide rod spring in my S9-A1, but it didn’t work out, but the Delrin striker spring bushing helped to improve the already great trigger. Needless to say, I love my Steyrs!

[@smokingcrab2290]

Your segment on the trigger was perfectly in depth. And it's the best showcase of this pistols trigger I've ever seen. You're absolutely right about all of it. One of the biggest things I enjoy when shooting is not even so much an audible reset, but more of a tactile one. And the steyr c9 reset isn't hardly even tacticile. I also wish they sold threaded barrels for this model! That would be amazing!

[@googlechicken]

Aftermarket support for this pistol is almost non existent I bought one in 2020 and there were very few options for a dedicated holster. There was a company in Texas called Double Click holsters I was made aware of by you tuber “TN Styer” That made an outstanding level 2 retention Kydex holster for this pistol but are now sadly out of buisness.

[@cbennett6093]

I had the original M40 in the early 2000's. When the M40A1 came out, I traded up. It is my favorite pistol. Recoil is tame for a .40. When the A2's came out in 2019, I passed on the over $600 price. Recently, an online retailer had a heavy discount on the A2's. I picked up a C9A2 for $299 plus TT, and an M9A2 for $325 plus, both NIB. Could not pass that up. I'm now training my 5'3" small stature daughter to shoot. She's lights out with those A2's. The small grip modules work well with her smaller hands. Side note: my .40 slide works on the A2 lower.

[@MDpolo]

I love this line of handguns. So underrated! Worst marketing team in the history of handguns. Thank you very much for stopping by.

[@cbennett6093]

@@MDpolo Agreed. I've had a Prohunter rifle in .308 for 25 years which turned me onto Steyr. So around 2000 I stumbled across the original M40 in a store for $280. Done. I'm now complete with the M40A1, and now have the 9mm A2's in C, M, and L variants. Those giveaway prices were too tempting when they came up recently.

Great pistols I have had a couple and they are very good shooters. It is a shame they did not market them better here in the states because I think they would be quite popular the trapezoidal night sights would have been a great idea and if they were more common I sure the aftermarket could have supplied an option for that

[@MDpolo]

Some of my all-time favorites in the polymer world. Thank you very much for stopping by.

[@ShootAUT]

The modular design, with the removable chassis and interchangeability of the parts, is probably the reason for why they doubled the serial number on the side of the gun - to make sure people (most likely authorities) can properly identify, match up and, if need be, trace the parts.

i just bought the m9a2mf. after a coulpe hundred rounds, my trigger is breaking at 4-4.5 lbs. cant get the hang of the sights. i read the springfield xdm sights will work. do u know if thats true? i am wanting to get the ameriglo hawkathornes. i had originally wanted to get the slide milled for a red dot. due the the lightening cuts inside the slide, there wouldnt be anything for the mounting bolts to screw in to. i know outer impact makes a rear sight dovetail mounting plate but im not sure if i want to go that route. i noticed that your c9a2 doesnt have the lightening cuts inside the slide, like my m9a2 does. it would be nice if steyr would come out with more grip modules.

[@blechmaier]

Interesting pistol. The ergonomics look good. I don’t understand the why they’d serialize the grip module. Sights are also interesting and would take some getting used to. Not sure about the trigger… looks like a nice break but the reset would likely be a deal breaker for me. Not sure how you could favor this over the PDP or P-10C; both have excellent resets.

[@MDpolo]

The pistol is fantastic overall. The thing about the reset is that the more you shoot this pistol the less it bothers you. When I started shooting the Steyr line of pistols, I kept comparing them to the triggers on Glocks and CZs. But then I realized that I needed to give the pistol a chance for what it is and stop comparing it. I can guarantee you that in a self-defense situation, few people are going to worry about the reset. If you train with this pistol the reset on this trigger becomes a mute point.

@@MDpolo So, do you believe these pistols have a "drop safety"?

[@saleemimalikimusawwirbey9029]

3.6 inch barrel? Gotta be the compact version.

[@MDpolo]

This the C for compact. Thank you very much for watching

[@josecardenas4013]

Really?? On the trigger How was the reliability??

[@MDpolo]

100% reliable so far. I’ve never had a problem, not a single problem with any Steyr that I own.

[@1Alexville]

Nope. I sold mine. Very little aftermarket support. Maybe two serious holster options. My sights were drifted left of center from factory. Try using the trapezoid sights at night. They dissappear. This pistol requires way too much to be a useful defensive tool. I was excited at first.

[@ThirtyOught6]

They're not night sights, dude, they're the same plain jane daytime sights you get on most any pistol nowadays. They ALL disappear at night. If you need night sights then change them out for night sights like any other pistol.

[@1Alexville]

@@ThirtyOught6 Night sights for these pistols are vaporware, Pain in the ass to get any aftermarket accessories for this pistol. I like the gun but there is zero support for them. Not a serious defensive option.

[@22leggedsasquatch]

I think you were just unlucky with the sights, but that could have been fixed by Steyr and that's actually the first I've heard of this issue. The holster point is known from before purchasing and they're are options available and Steyr do offer them as they do 3 dot luminescent sights. Also known is the 'after market support'..but what does one expect or need? Complaining about that is like going out for dinner at a quality restaurant and complaining that the food is faster to your table at Mcdonalds. None of these points reflect that the pistol is a military grade weapon that has passed every single military test in Austria; has tremendous accuracy, reliabilty and a build quality typical of a manufacturer of Steyr's standing. Additionally, its low bore access and soft shooting render it an excellent choice. All the L9 A2 needs is a deeply placed micro red dot and though the trigger is certainly sufficient, it could do with being closer to the excellent PDP trigger.

[@1Alexville]

@@22leggedsasquatch No... To just about everything you just said... I bought one of the very first run C9-A2s that came out. They were tough to get. I was hoping that people would catch on and start building holsters and night sights. Second, you cannot get the A2 series with 3 dot sights from Steyr... I tried. Why be anchored with something you have to jump through hoops to get to a standard of performance? This is more like going to a new restaurant that has amazing self buzz , and the food is decent, but you have to bring your own utensils....

You don't need to lock the slide back before using the release button/lever to remove it from the frame. Wasted move!

[@gbullock2598]

It looks like a beretta apx and cz-po9 were put together.

[@MDpolo]

It kind of does. Good call. Thank you very much for watching

@@MDpolo Anytime, you make good videos👍🏾

[@MDpolo]

I appreciate that.

[@philippott2784]

The Steyr and the APX share this deep cutout for the web of your hand - making it really easy to grip the gun high and firm. I got them both (L9-A2, APX) and really cant say which feels "less" snappy - both just dont feel snappy at all.

[@richardavery2244]

I like Steyr pistols, even though I don’t own one, I got caught up in the Grand Power pistols from Slovakia. These pistols also go under the radar, they feature the rotating barrel breach system like the Beretta PX-4 series. They are extremely accurate and soft recoil, do a comparison between the Steyr and a Grand Power P-1 or K100 9mm ! Which one is more accurate and has more features?

[@MDpolo]

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a grand power for a long time. I would like to buy my guns locally and not through the Internet so not one has shown up yet. So I can’t comment to the ground power but I hear they are very nice pistols.

[@ARGCDG]

Very flat shooting gun. I’m impressed with mine. The drawback is finding a good retention holster.

[@MDpolo]

Indeed holsters are a challenge. Check out @TNSteyr channel. He has a lot of information on these pistols and holsters for them. Thank you very much for watching.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

They fucked this gun over by not making it optics ready

[@MDpolo]

I think one of the reasons they have not made it optics ready is because the slide has such low profile in the rear that there is no room to do a cut without invading the striker channel. I am not 100% sure of that but that’s what I have heard. You might want to comment on @TNSteyr channel. He has a good channel and is the real expert on Steyr pistols. Thank you very much for watching!

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

@@MDpolo no, I put a red dot on my steyr. I have a video on it. They're just lazy, incompetent, or apathetic. None of which is good

Thank you for sharing that. I’ll take a look at your video.

[@Robespierres_Ghost]

3.6 bbl with 17rd grip makes no sense but it's the cheapest model by $100 🤔

[@richardavery2244]

The Steyr is a very good firearm in view of the fact that it was designed by the same engineer who worked on the Glock, plus it’s also made in the same country Austria. But you have not shot the best low recoiling 9mm out of Europe until you test a Grand Power K100 or P-1, P-11 or the Q series. The Steyr is a close second in terms of accuracy and recoil reduction with its rotating breach locking barrel, the Grand Power is King! 🎉🎉🎉!

[@MDpolo]

A Grand Power is definitely on my list to test. Thank you very much for stopping by.
