Cult of Steyr - Members sign-in

[22x9]

As C.H. Luke pointed out in another thread (Steyr M9 1000+ shot review... ), ownership of the Steyr pistols is kinda cult-ish. So, let's just take a poll and see just how many THR members belong to the cult.

I have the M40, but since I am 400 miles from home I don't have any of the other info, paid $285 lightly used. I had an S9 NIB, but sold it. I do still have my GB that an old girlfriend gave me for my birthday in 1985, my favorite handgun. As for Steyr rifles I have an SSG69 Match (PII), two MkIII Pro (.30-06 and .270). I had a Luxus .30-06 NIB, but sold it, just couldn't bring myself to shoot it.

.....perhaps you should name your new club the' goofy sights' pistol club!

.....perhaps you should name your new club the' goofy sights' pistol club!

Can't do that one either, I'm sure there are groups out there that use the word "club" as well.

I guess we're just screwed, oh well life goes on.

 

[Handy]

I'm thinking of buying a GB.

I should get my own damn cult for that.

Model: M9
Purchase Date:Nov 2003

Problem is ... I am questioning my faith. Love the gun... want another. What is the about "Thou shalt not covet anothers ....HK USP in .40?"

 

[LostOneToo]

I've had a Steyr GB for about 5 years now, probably the BEST 9mm I've ever seen.
Also have the Steyr Model M for past 2 years and gave my son one for his birthday.
Steyr isn't for everyone but those who have one wouldn't swap it for anything I don't think....

If there is anyone out there looking to sell a S9 please let me know. I really would like to have a S9 to round out my collection. I am sick of all of the naysayers out there whenever we get a thread going where we can all talk about our favorite handguns we always get all of these people that tell us what a bad choice we made. If they are so convinced that the Steyr is a POS why not just start their own little "I hate Steyr thread".

I think with time the Steyr M and S series handguns will gain more and more credibility. There are some big corporate distributors out there now. Things will only get better for all Steyr gun owners.

My son and I both own a GB. Kinda odd, that, but there you have it.

BTW, there's a GB on display in the Smithsonian - it was one of the finalists in the search for a replacement for the 1911 A1. As we know, it didn't make the final cut. The reasons for its failure are still being debated in some circles.

SER: 0048XX
M40
March 2002
$420
LH Fist #8, LH Galco FLETCH, Hogue handall jr., trigger and ejection port upgrades, 5 mags.
aprox. 3,000 rds.
Speer 155gr. Gold dot

This has been my EDC gun since June '02 the more I shoot it the more I like it. This will be the only gun I will own two of just in case something were to happen to one. Everyone I have let shoot has been impressed especially if I have my G23 with me so they can shoot them side by side. The steyr definitely is an improvement over the Glocks.

For info on finding an S9 check the last paragraph on my SHOT Show page: http://www.shotshowreports.com/2003pg4.html
