Steyr M9 A1: Best Pistol You've Never Heard Of

[@nutnfancy]

The Steyr M9 L9 and S9 series is highly underrated in the gun world. I'd like to change that. This Steyr M9 was a strong performer through testing and I'm buying it. -nutnfancy actual

[@Mryodamiles]

YESSSSSS!!!! Been waiting forever for this review! Up there with Grandpower!!

[@steveroberts9735]

dang, dude. that target was like a mile and a half away and you are still shootin' sub moa.

[@EricKPoorManPrepper]

nutnfancy I may be wrong, but didn't the dude at Steyr who designed the series actually start at Glock and the move to Steyr as a designer or some shit like that? And BTW I like the trap. sights

[@Cheeseybacun]

Eric K Yes, I have also heard similar rumors.

[@Noowbie1]

I sold mine , I hated the sights and the couldn't find magazines for it

[@sootch00]

I'm loving the M9 A1. Your findings are on point as usual. Thanks Bro

[@roosterboy7357]

I seen the slide plate on yours move on the last shot. I think it was yours or Justin Opinion’s

[@RangerPointPrecision]

Great review! Steyr A1 Pistols are the best. Everyone in our shop wears one on their hip everyday from an L9 to an L40 and M40 and .357 Sig. We were so impressed with Steyr pistols that we starting manufacturing parts for them last year and have more on the R&D schedule for this year. -- Ranger Point Precision

[@redgoat3khk45t5]

Finally, an honest Steyr review. Thanks Nutn.

[@TheOdditee]

I've been shooting an M9 since early 2001. ~3,000 rnds. The sights are very precise. Using the tip of a triangle allows for infinite precision. I had to spend a lot of time tuning the extractor, replacing with their redesigned extractor, and getting the spring tension right. It's still occasionally weak on extraction but it hasn't failed in about 500rnds. Weak/inconsistent extraction is also evident in all of the video footage here. Every few rounds appears to barely trickle out. Extraction issues aren't "group think". Nutn's one failure was the typical "extractor jumps off the case" that plagued the early guns. They've redesigned the extractor and spring setup a couple times since release, so if you're buying used this is important to understand. I love my M9. I even love the original manual safety inside the trigger guard. Great pistol, overall. Awesome to have some TNP validation!

[@jamesavery6671]

Your comment should be moved up the front.

[@Mrgunsngear]

shot my L9A1 today---still awesome

[@kevinkane4595]

I was just wondering if you still had it or shoot it :)

[@marcusmercury8403]

Shot my buddy's L9A1 a few weekends ago. I like it better than the older M9A1 I shot, could just be the size difference, but ohhh man.

[@MDpolo]

Mrgunsngear Channel I own the m9-a1 and really enjoy it. Zero problems. However, I am considering trading it for a Glock 19x. Which of the 2 pistols would you choose? Thanks!

[@DisisSnake]

Mrgunsngear Channel I’d love to see you and NUTN do a Run N Gun

[@gunbirdx]

I was breaking in my 2-day old Sig P320 RX Compact at my usual indoor range 2 weekends ago. Finished up, happy, satisfied with my purchase, etc. Talked about guns for awhile with the guy behind the counter. He said, "Hey, you gotta check out the trigger on this piece... It's a Steyr M9-A1". Skeptical, I gave the trigger a quick study and was impressed. Searched KZbin on to see if Nutnfancy reviewed this gun. He did! Listened to it while driving home from the range. Went back and rented it to test out the following weekend. Fell in love. Bought M9-A1 Gen 4 for a good price, and I'm so excited to get it!

[@fatguyguns8708]

Steyr: that other Austrian gun company.

[@unholyshape]

Neither of which MAGA yet*

[@sarinhighwind]

Steyr has been around forever.

[@MiniVegas420Yo]

Yeah, my first CCW gun is an M9 circa 1999, with the stupid 10 round mag in California. Still have it, probably has 10k rounds through it, only needed a new extractor spring in that whole time. Probably should get new spring kit for it, but it still is 100%, so I keep putting it off. Plus I bought another M9-A1G3, and I'm going to transfer it to the original frame. First gun with a chassis system too, as Sig recently found out.

[@champy1210]

Sarin Highwind 1864.

[@heraclid13]

and the Austrian police don't use Glocks...

[@getiWowWe]

I agree with you "Awesome" is the correct word for the Steyr pistols. I currently own the S9-A1, the C9-A1, the M9-A1, the L9-A1 and the M357-A1 models. Will never get rid of them. Tried others manufacturers but in my opinion these are the best. Love the sights, love the low felt recoil, never had any issues with them after over 200 rounds on each.

[@Morrick59605]

Gregory A. Ward, Sr. Does it handle recoil well and would you ccw the m9 or the c9?

[@RangerPointPrecision]

@@Morrick59605 Super flat shooter. M or C both work pretty well for CCW but I prefer the M.

[@wkf57]

I really like my Steyr M9 as well,. Very accurate, very ergonomic and very underrated by those who haven't shot one. Glad to see you put one through it's paces. Good job.

[@nutnfancy]

Totally agree my friend. I shoulda' reviewed this a long time ago. I hope it gets more popular. -nutnfancy

[@inversionlayer]

Sunday morning breakfast with Nutfancy; a great weekend in the making. Thank you for the time, effort and dedication.

[@nutnfancy]

Thank you for being a part of it! -nutnfancy

[@kawythowy867]

inversionlayer Agreed dude!! Have a great weekend.

[@andyf1693]

Thanks Nutn. You are 100% on the mark with the M9-A1. I value and admire all aspects of mine. The grip-to-trigger geometry is the secret to the pointability and minimal recoil effect.

[@channelcatchaser9426]

I salute you Nutn for not begging for money from your viewer's like so many other channels that quit their real job to live off adsence funds that they have no control of. Keep it up man!

[@johnandrewserranogarcia7223]

Many of those channels were receiving good youtube revenue before youtube went on that crazy ad problem, they didn't originally plan on relying on patreon.

[@thisismagacountry1318]

John Andrew Serrano Garcia Losers that rely on Patreon need what our grandfathers and great grandfathers had. Grit, Integrity, Wherewithal. Get a 2nd job to support your hobby. Stop begging for money like a Democrat.

[@th3pankake]

Haters need to fuck off. No one is forcing u to give money to the content creators on patreon, I think it's a great system that's keeping good content and content creators uploading videos on a regular basis.

[@RubiconV]

don't blame them. blame the liberal media that is pulling their ad revenue because KZbin ads are being played by extremist content... those liberal media call conservative news and gun channels "extreme" so they get defunded, effectively censoring them.

[@tdel8613]

Rubicon V no, relying off of a factor you can't control without a back up plan is ignorant and poor planning.

[@dtdtm231]

Awesome review. Steyr M-series, since the new extractors and roll pins were added in around 2012, I think, are the best in class. They last made the M357 Sig in 2014....my favorite pistol platform for 357 sig. Because of the low bore axis and swept back grip angle, it handles the 357 sig like most platforms handle 9mms. Love the looks, the grip angle, the sights, and the overall design. Getting the L9 A1 with threaded barrel from your recommended store if they have in stock. Thanks!

[@BennyTriad]

My local Gun Store talked me in to trying one. Picked up a C9-A1. Took a few rounds to get used to the sights. The gun is FAST and Reliable, I was shocked with the performance.

[@marksweetser6312]

B Blair C9 is my favorite of them all. It gets the least love for sure. Maybe that's why I like it. Dunno. I like the goofy look that's exaggerated in the C9. Want an S9 too tho

[@clint4237]

I rented one of these a couple of years back at my gun range. I fell in love with it on the first magazine and ordered one on the spot. It's a wicked and unique looking gun, and a workhorse in every way. Insanely under rated, just like you said. Well done.

[@jmount411]

dude every time a gun vid comes out I literally stop what I'm doing unless I'm working and watch it my girlfriend gets soooo mad. Mostly because I just love guns and I thoroughly enjoy your vids thanks for everything.

[@EzBluegrass1]

The design of the new Hudson reminds me of the design Steyr M9!

[@joeligerojoe8762]

Been waiting for years for you to get around to this one.

[@nutnfancy]

Yes, I shoulda' done it years ago...I like my reviews a lot more now so it's kind of a good thing though.

[@J-Kunath]

Nothing like a fresh tnp vid on a Sunday morning

[@GTMBleach]

Wonderful review. I got an M9 a1 in 2008. Had stovepiping, fte issues. After a quick change of extractor kit, it has been so reliable and the trapezoidal sights make the gun so good in target acquisition.

[@Principator]

The issue is marketing and retail presence. Almost NO brick and mortar stores carry Steyr Mannlicher products. There are stores that have a storefront, but generate most of their sales online that can that carry them in inventory, but if you want to handle one in person, you are likely out of luck. And that is a shame, because it is one of the greatest unknown products out there. Plus, they don't have the deep pockets to bribe LE agencies with inexpensive service model swaps or do sales tours of big box retailers, so they certainly aren't buying their way into larger market share. Steyr seems more interested in growing sales with a great quality product and solid reputation rather than building an empire. Plus, their customer service is fantastic.

[@wesleyglover7410]

Steyr just instituted a program on their sight "I want a Steyr" they'll get one to your ffl come hell or high water. They are tryin to revamp their marketing.

[@ryang6312]

Good stuff Nutn and crew. I always liked the Steyer M9 for its ergonomics, they shoot well and are reasonably priced.

[@silverfortune5229]

I think that an established channel, that has such a loyal fanbase, such as your own, would have quite a bit of success on something like Patreon, if push comes to shove. I know I'd support your channel.

[@carl-ok9gn]

yes, start a donation page for a millionaire.

[@HAACKER45]

I certainly love my threaded L9-A1 (4.8 inch barrel), never seen another Steyr handgun at the range. It's an awesome shooter.

[@thomasmahoney9748]

I changed out the spring and added a slider around the spring and it made a world of difference making a good trigger a great trigger. Mine had some jamming on extraction for the first 200 round then it fixed itself and works flawlessly for the last 2000. Most dependable gun and best pistol I have ever owned.

[@Roux-AtlasCreation]

So glad you did steyr. My first experience with this gun was shooting my brothers m9. Loved how it felt and shot and have wanted one since then. The sights are so novel and easy to pick up. Everyone is different though, some people don't like 'em, and that's cool too.

[@echodelta2172]

I'm glad you made this review. I've owned an S9A1 for several months now and everyone who has shot it comes away very pleased. They also mention that they've never heard of it haha.

[@fordrac1ng81]

Steyr makes good stuff. Most of their projects over the years have been great. I got turned on to them when I drove a Pinzgauer in high school.

[@etschirm]

Great review! A Steyr C9-A1 has been my EDC for over a year now. Absolutely love it

[@easygordonnn]

Stoooooooooop telling everyone how great Steyr pistols are -- at least til after I buy mine next month... 😬 Great review, as usual! I'm really excited to snatch up one of these for myself... 😀

[@Starkster50]

My EDC is a 100% stock M9. Bought brand new at $359 came with 2 15 round mags. I use Alien Gear holster. Freaking awesome gun. I have Glocks but the Steyr feels better in my hand, my Steyr came with three dot sights but changing to the trapezoid sights. Recommended gun.

[@michaelgranovsky7463]

I carry an s9a1 year round.

[@d30gaijin]

15 plus years later you finally found the Steyr M9. About time.

[@TheJakeberry]

Glad to see this pistol finally getting some love. This was my first pistol purchase, bought in 2008 from cabelas for about $300 has seen lots of rounds and abuse and never failed me. Great vid thanks nutnfancy

[@exionem]

This pistol was way ahead of its time. Not knocking Caniks or Walthers but 15 years ago this gun was already top dog with excellent triggers and ergos.

[@thomasalison6188]

Glad to see you review the Steyr pistol. I have read a lot of good comments on them. On person said he uses it as his everyday CCW, & said it is as accurate as his H&K P7.

[@toledo152]

Love my S9-A1 Steyr. Thanks for the review.

[@chriskelly509]

Now for the A2 review

[@Satchmoeddie]

Steyr: Nice guns and good tractors & trucks too. I used to buy Steyr Pinzgauers from Austria. The M9 is a great little pistol, and being so obscure, cheap on the used market.

[@booofy]

two years ago I wrote: "Recently at a sanctioned IDPA competition here in Arkansas I was able to use my Styer M9A1 and came in second place to another shooter using a Styer as well in a field dominated by some mixture of 50 or so Glock's, Springfields and a dable of 1911's. I have about 500 rounds thru this gun. While scrolling thru my Facebook feed I also noticed that recently in the IDPA state rankings, another shooter using the Styer L9A1 came out on top. This is a love it or hate it kind of gun. I have previously inquired about weather or not you were planning a review. I think this is a gun that would impress you from a well know manufacturer. Please let me know if you have any plans on reviewing this excellent firearm. Thanks." I am so glad you finally decided to review this amazing handgun!!

[@nutnfancy]

It wasn't high up on the list since it was a little out of the mainstream. Kinda like the walther PPS, it was released long enough ago that not too many folks cared, so it skated by with no review, until we shot it. Then the product spoke for itself. Glad it finally got done! -Doodle

[@andrew_ferens]

Thank you soooo much for reviewing this. The M9-A1 is probably my favorite 9mm pistol of all time. I love the sights, grip, low bore axis and general feel of quality. There's even a factory threaded barrel available for suppressor use (metric threading, though :/ ). Overall, I like it more than the Glock 19 (other than the mag release). I really hope it does get more popular, it'd be a huge shame if it got discontinued. It's not even something that weird or exotic like the Mateba semi-auto revolver. Also, as a P.S: the M&P style triggers can go suck it. In a stress-shooting simulation (less than ideal grip/sight picture, etc), I've managed to not get the trigger to pull back and fire because the mechanism was just that little bit out of alignment somehow. This was bare-handed; with gloves, I wasn't able to replicate this. I'm guessing a bare finger can just barely get the wrong angle/position (too high) on the trigger, to where it can't properly straighten out and fully depress.

[@madacro5671]

Nutn, due to this review I now own a C9A1 and and recently acquired a L9A2! Always loved the looks, your review helped with the purchase of the C9, and randomly found my A2 at LGS during Armageddon! LGS still supports decent gun prices! So pumped I couldn't leave without it!

[@theoldgraymule]

So damn glad you've reviewed these Nutn. Been digging my Steyr M and the S as well for the past 5 years and they've just been absolutely bomb proof.

[@TuurGoes]

dont forget to tell people how much leaving a like and a comment helps with the youtube "formula" of making your videos more known to those who are not subscribed but they are looking at gun reviews ( you know ... that 'recommended' page ). Thanks for the reviews, awesome work.

[@joshuaelliott1302]

Love my Steyr, it is one of my go to handguns. 100% reliability so far. Nutnfancy For President.

[@travispowell2471]

Been on the fence for a couple of years about this one. Finally broke down and ordered one today. Wont be able to sleep now till I get it. Freakin pumped!!!!

[@billdawg795]

i have been waiting forever for you to do the steyr m series. most accurate semi auto handguns on the market

[@billdawg795]

Notorious Fail they're fucking great dude. my Steyr m-40a1 can stack holes. the m-40a1 by the way has a much lighter trigger than the M9A1. (my buddy has same gen m9a1 as my m40a1. you can tell by the roll pin under the rear sight that it's the latest generation M series Steyr handgun. ) but yeah obviously there's competition guns that are much more accurate probably but for an out-of-the-box handgun it definitely beats a G23 or a g19....

[@billdawg795]

Lol ur one of the few to catch that!

[@billdawg795]

My buddy literally just sold his cz 75b for a gen 3 steyr m9 a1 lol he regrets it a bit. Steel frame is the most GTW i dont care what the tnp says. Buuuuuuut i still think the steyr m40 a1 is more accurate as i have alot of range time with both cz 75s and my .40. That being said. Cz97bs are also ungodly accurate for a .45 acp. Its ridiculous

[@billdawg795]

40 caliber sucks ass and I hate 40 but the Steyr m-40a1 comes stock with a 3 & a half pound trigger if you get the Gen 3 and you can literally stack holes with it in any other situation I would say 9mm over 40 for minimal recoil and carry capacity but it's just not an issue with the Steyr and you get a lot of stopping power I shoot a lot of Steel and you can really feel the thump of it lol

[@billdawg795]

I think the Steyr M9A1 comes with like a five and a half pound trigger. My buddy noticed that my trigger was way lighter than his

[@markdecoveny5882]

mine is the M40A1, first variant. I had the M9 way back. I used both firearms as duty weapons through my career as an LEO. Early models had extraction issues that were fixed by Steyr. In several thousand rounds of practice and training I have not had single failure of my Steyr.

[@BlackOakPatriot]

I 've had the m9 a1 for a year and half and absolutely love it. Best trigger of any pistol out of the box Period!

[@larryjohnson150]

Every time I see the footage where you draw and take two shots and reholster it makes me think of the stories of cops that trained like that. When they got into real gunfights they would draw, fire two shots and reholster, even though there were more than one attacker or the one they shot at didn't get hit or critically wounded. Just thought I'd throw that out there as an observation.

[@BaddFrogg777]

The Steyr S-40 is Awesome. Compact, Beautiful, and 10 RDS .40 cal..

[@The_Osprey]

I agree. The Steyr M9 series are excellent. Unfortunately, I had the first gen with the weird trigger guard safety that would randomly engage. Also, brass ejection is funky. Even in your footage you can see some anemic ejection. Mine would actually put brass on top of my head. I got the extractor/spring upgrade from Steyr and it mildly improved. Ergonomics and trigger are the best ever in my opinion. The M9-A1 remedied the weird safety.

[@hardcore19811981]

Couldn't agree more, have had an s9 for carry for 4 years. Never could understand the negative press....great unsung hero of the striker fired market.

[@checkpoint3260]

I'm glad you liked it. I love mine. It is such a natural grip angle. It almost aims itself.

[@larryharris7737]

Very informative! You sold me on Steyr, will be next purchase thanks!!

[@MiniVegas420Yo]

Aliengear has shells for Steyr, so you can get both inside and outside the waistband.

[@hurt1704]

You entertain me throughout the week, educate me on gear & guns that work and frankly, have the best reviews on KZbin. I watch you more than I watch the cable service I pay for every month so Don't ever be afraid to ask for donations to keep the show going because several of us who really enjoy watching would jump at the chance to help to continue on. That said, I respect you not jumping on the patreon gun donation crap like many others have. You are the best. Period. Keep up the great work Nutn.

[@bouncinsoul2002]

I bought a M9 years ago to run in steel matches, other than the front sight actually falling of the pistol I like the gun. I did put Talon grips on, replaced the sights with trijicons and replaced the guide rod with a steel one. Note for anyone buying mags the 15 round mags are not compatible with the plus two extention, they changed the floor plate design between the 15 and 17 round mags.

[@TheSatchrox]

Just got a M9-A2. Love it. Triangle sights...❤️

[@hunterglass1840]

Several years ago an old Army buddy and I where at a gun show when he asked me what I thought of Steyr. I told him they were an excellent firearm company. He asked me about their pistols and I’ll be honest, I had no idea they made one. Turns out they make an excellent pistol. I really liked the sites.

[@JasonSmith-ee7zq]

Just bought one online when I saw Steyr had a $50 rebate for Memorial Day. Seems like a great buy. Happy to see this review pop up.

[@PatrickAllen]

there's been something missing from your vids lately. good to see you back in this vid.

[@The_makarov]

Nice. Iv been a fan of the m9 and L9 a really long time my favorite polymer wonder

[@operator1192]

I've always considered picking one of these up after I absolutely fell in love with my Steyr AUG but I agree with you and I think this is an underrated pistol. I may have to add one to the collection.

[@markdecoveny5882]

Retired LEO, Carried the original Steyr M9. then the M40A1. Over 5k rounds in practice and training with only one early malfunction. My M40A1 is a first generation version. It is now my primary CCW handgun. I shoot the Steyr pistols better than almost anything else. Super accurate (for me). Might just need to pick up the M9A1

[@markdecoveny5882]

As an aside, one thing that is not mentioned in all the various reviews is the construction of the firearm. The entire fire control group is in a removable frame inside the polymer grip. This allows an armorer to remove the assembly and replace it without a serial number change. get the weapon back in service and rebuild the fire controls at his leisure.

[@johnmaurer7084]

I appreciate a cocky intelligent man making a wonderful review of another great pistol on the market. I appreciate all your efforts

[@johngrunwell2412]

I have a G42 and G26. I wanted a 4" Duty Gun and when I picked up the Steyr M9-A1, esp with the sights, I was sold with the LOW Bore Axis. On the range, it was flawless and recoil more manageable than the G26, due to the weight and axis. The curvature of the gun rear, leads you to the front sight along with the trapezoidal rear. A little heavier than the G19 and G17 but I believe my best buy.

[@zillsburyy1]

best high capacity 9mm pistol on the market

[@timkarcher6724]

Tommy Sands only disappointment is the s model comes with a 10 round mag. The full size M model mag works in the S but the S should have a 13 round mag....instead it only comes with a plugged 10 round.

[@roberth4688]

I have been an M9 owner since the pre A1 era. It is my favorite polymer striker gun. Those trapezoidal sights are fast and I wish my other guns had them. I carry mine in holsters from High Noon Holsters.

[@thalo215]

rather glad to see this review. I have been watching the steyr for a long time and the negativity online has been what kept me from checking it out further. So when is the Arex Rexzero1 going to battle the curse of the desert?

[@kevinkane4595]

L40-A1 early adopter...love it after I adjusted to the sights. Needed to apply Talon rubber grips for my sweaty mitt.

[@guerralopes]

just purchase a Steyr M9 A1 today, based on this video review. Thank you MR Nutnfancy.

[@MegaScorpio43]

Shot one of these and what I like the most is the Sights on it. They help get me on target and ready to shoot more quickly.

[@K9SheepDog]

Just wanted to add a comment to say thank you for all the hard work, it sucks KZbin is hurting guys like you . I'll support you with watch and likes and staying subbed till the ship is on the on the bottom and gone!!!! Thank you again!!!

[@danielgrum1248]

Bought essentially a gen 3 M9 6 years ago, replaced the extractor (Steyr sent a better one for free!) and sold it to my daughter. My oldest daughter has a gen 4 M9 and while it has some better features such as an elongated magazine release, it shoots the same as the earlier model: extremely accurate! Nice trigger feel out of the box and so easy to control. High bore axis with this ergonomic grip. All three of us think it is easier to control than a comparable Glock, Walther PPQ, or H&K VP9, although we all like the Springfield XD Mod 2 in this regard also. We bought these guns essentially at dealer cost from Cabela's years ago because the store wanted to clear inventory as no one was buying! This is a competitive firearm at a good price.

[@Unb3arablePain]

Was debating on getting this gun for a while. TFB TV made me interested. This video sold it to me.

[@craigfuhr]

I was able to get the TP9SFX on the MD approved handgun list after watching your review of the gun. So glad I did as it is a TOTAL winner. I’ll be petitioning The Peoples Republic of MD to do the same for the Steyr. Looks like a great gun for the money.

[@1221vito]

I really like watching Jardine shoot. As a lefty I like seeing other lefties and he's got a real good grip.

[@usdpaulp]

I've been waiting for this review for years. just ordered one! thanks nutn

[@trevorogden9130]

i used to work at a range, prob have shot hundreds of handguns. This one shoots better than pretty much anything else. I had a hard time sleeping the night after i shot one for the first time. i didnt understand how it could be so good. disgustingly under rated and barely talked about. buy one now.

[@th3pankake]

Awesome review! The sight picture on that pistol is badass

[@LarryC213]

From Oct. 1st to Dec. 31st Steyr is offering a $50 rebate on these pistols. Just in case anyone is interested.

[@ripcordjr5696]

Proud owner of a Steyr M9 A1 OD Green love it. Waiting on the C9 A2 this summer... Buy it and carry it.

[@fanusikvirusaka5129]

I own it 20 years. Still looks like new. Never cleaned, works like charm.

[@davidozburn1155]

Looked at a lot of reviews on this gun. Have been narrowing down who I am watching. Guys who know there stuff about shooting. You were one who influenced my decission. Looked at one, really like the looks, held it and can't wait to shoot it. So, I went to shop and put it on layaway. It was my birhday.

[@pkgreens_9998]

Nutnfancy - Not going to lie, after watching this I'm definitely going to pull the trigger on buying one of the long slide versions. Have held one at gander a couple years ago, loved he feel and the sights, only downfall was lack of popularity and hence forth reviews. Only saw poor performances on Hickok among others and was not impressed until now. Not to blow your head up, but I heavily weigh what you have to say about gun purchases in light of the testing they go thru in your hands. Keep up the good work and thank you for providing this priceless service for free.

[@czarsean1]

I really like this streamlined review version, I do think the into could have been a little quicker but love the show and low how it's grown.

[@NotHunterCooper]

Keep up the good work Nutn! Don't forget to add some of your older stuff to your BigCartel, you've reviewed and used tons of things that your fan base would totally buy

[@McNabbula]

I’ve owned about everything that you’d typically see in this class ( price, size etc.). It has ergonomics similar to an HK VP9, reliable like a Glock 19 , trigger like a Sig P320 and accurate like a Sphinx Compact. You can pick one up for under $500.00. I own the C9a1 and wouldn’t change anything. A lot of my friends shoot it better than their personal firearms . I’ve run 1,000 rounds through mine and it keeps getting better.

[@jwc00789]

Great Review! I've had my Steyr L9A1 for a couple of years now. Very Accurate and very reliable! Great Pistol!

[@alexparrish9690]

As usual, good quality Nut'n. You are my go to reviewer. You do your best, and always keep it real.

[@chzzyg2698]

Yay! You covered my favorite pistol! I don't think it could handle MAC's reliability test, but it's a great gun. I've had an L9A1 for three years now, and am thinking about adding more Steyr's to the pistol collection. Hopefully this review brings more aftermarket support.

[@DEVUNK88]

I heard about this pistol like 5 years ago, been waitin a long time nutn, glad you like it finally

[@clap5]

I love my M9 A1...thousands of rounds doing classes. Not a single malfunction. Really wish there was a bigger aftermarket for this gun.

Saw this gun once. Looked like better functional ergos. Glad to hear it's awesome. Love to see that minimal muzzle flip. Would love to see the .40 in action.

I have owned the M357A1 for about 2 years now. It's chambered in .357sig. I love my Steyr. I got a good price on it being brand new.

Been trying to tell my friends about these guns...I love it ...bought three of these before ever owning a Glock.....but now I do own Glocks, but I love my Steyr more....Thanks Nuttn for getting the word out.....cudos

One reason many know nothing of the gun is because Steyr couldn't care less about the American market and the guns have been plagued with issues in the past. I purchased one in 2012. Double- feeds galore. Steyr said it needed an updated extractor and sent me one. Gun would also go out of battery because the slide would move to the rear whenever it was holstered. I finally sold it. Perhaps newer units have the bugs worked out of them but mine broke me from wanting another one.

Wayne Swicegood Bought an S9-A1 last year. Have put over 7,000 rounds in it since then since it’s my daily carry piece. Absolutely no issues double feeding, and only 3 FTF’s ever, which we’re in the first 300 rounds. Maybe you should give them another go? I loved my Glock19 G4 to the moon until I shot and bought my S9. Totally worth it.
