I just can't pass up CDNN's Steyr M40 for a mere $299 any longer... I almost feel guilty for waiting as long as I have.
Originally, I was going to place an order for a Taurus 24/7 in .40S&W, but I'm sure those will remain available for some time, but I recognize the likelihood these NIB M40's (especially at these insane prices) might become scarce. Besides, they're so ugly-in-a-unique-way, I've decided that's one reason to own one.
I've gained some understanding of the model both here and on TFL using the search function, but a few things remain unclear.
1) The 4†barrel of the M-40 features polygonal rifling, correct?
2) How's the trigger on these pistols? I'm especially curious about length of travel and weight.
3) In terms of accuracy, can I safely to presume it to be at least on par with a G23?
4) What's the deal with this manual safety located ahead of the trigger within the trigger guard? Is it something that one can easily grow accustomed to?
5) Feel free to add any particulars that you might want to point out about this pistol (without referring to the "lacks a firing pin safety" issue).
Thanks for the info!
