I'm one of those rare people that loved the ''wierd" sites as soon as I picked the gun up. I guess for those that don't like the sites it's a case of "you can't teach an old dog new tricks".

Model-M40
SN-099xx
Purchased-Jan 2003
Accessories-Sigma 15 round mag fitted to work with Steyr

Absolutely the most accurate handgun I own. I got a S&W 15 round mag and cut a new notch in it and it works flawless.

I've put 500 rounds of cheap russian ammo through it without a hitch.

$379.
unknown ejection port upgrade
gsi said the trigger job was completed
less than 1000 rounds

had some problems failing to go into battery. Steyr sent a couple replacement spring/guide rods after a couple emails in which i indicated that i expected the warranty to be honored even though they dont have an importer (or had one at that time)
since then i havent put too many rounds through the m40, i need to replace the rear sight, and will probably have some night sights put on.

same as m40
over 2000 rounds

replaced guide rod/recoil spring same time i replaced m40's. didnt need it, but wanted a fresh start. with original spring/rod, and over 1000 rounds, only one malfunction (failure to extract). after replacing, after nearly 1000 rounds, one malfunction (fail to fire, could have been a bad round).
 
Since I just put a M9 on lay-a-way today.

Clue me in on the trigger upgrade---how would I know if my gun has it when I get it home???

The goofy sights are what sold me too----it was down to the Springfield XD9 and the Steyr---the money difference wasn't a factor---I was going to take the one I liked the best.

Anyway---back to the sights----bringing each pistol up quickly---with the XD--I had to search for the sights-------with the Steyr's goofy sights it was BAM right there instantly---that's what sold me in the end. Even though I'll have to go buy extra magazines.


oh ya------$350 BTW.
 
RF.

You can do a search on here or TFL about "Steyr Trigger Upgrade" and probably find out the general SN range when the Trigger upgrades were no longer necessary. But, I vaguely remember, and some one PLEASE correct me; if a Steyr M pistol has a SN above 007000, then it left the factory with the redesigned trigger already installed.

So much better than my Glock, I sold my Glock

SN: 87**
Model: M40
Purchase date: Summer 2001
Price: 350
Enhancements: Came with trigger and ejection port upgrades.
Accessories: 3 magazines, Galco USA Inside the Pant Holster .
Approx # of rounds: 700
Primary ammo: Corbon and Hyda Shok 135 gr (the thought of shooting through a BG and hitting a GG makes me use lighter bullet)

Best polymer pistol on market. If you don't like the sights, you can put normal dots on them, and normal night sights. The factory sights are truly great for shooting long distance, like 100 yards.
 
SN: P025**
mdl: GB
finish: Blue w/crinkle painted gripframe
Price paid: $350 w/one magazine
Purchased used in 1986, IIRC. Previous owner had tried to do a trigger job on it, managed to make the hammer follow on every shot. Replaced the hammer and sear with factory parts ($120) and later ordered two mags from GSI @ $40 each. Thought they were way overpriced at the time. Just bought two more recently at $125 per. :banghead: (Time machine, I need a time machine!) Very accurate, very reliable once I cleaned and polished the extractor and the feed ramp. Fits most holsters for a Beretta 92 as long as they aren't too tight. Mag pouches are difficult to find, the mags are a little longer than most. Made my own. Carried it daily for over 10 years until my expanding belt size made a subcompact look a lot more appealing. Still carry in a shoulder holster under a jacket in the colder months. Some holster wear and the crinkle paint is smooth on the backstrap. Wish I had another one.

I also own two other Steyrs.

An STG58 FAL rifle built on a DSA type 1 receiver, very accurate and reliable also. The other one is just a parts kit right now. A Steyr MPi81 SMG kit I picked up a while ago. Waiting on the 94 ban to sunset and a semi conversion to come out so I can build me a neat little semi auto carbine.
 
I had a Steyr GB back in the early 90's. Mint condition and I think I sold it for $400. :banghead: :banghead:

Just shot my new S-40 this weekend. Pretty schweet!!! :D

Reluctant member.

Recently purchased a minty GB for $500, looks never fired.


It is a late commercial model with a blued slide and a very nice trigger. Looking for mags, but not worried (yet). The gun is great.
