I have run across a Styer GB for sale. Very good condition, but only one magazine and no owner's manual. Could anyone give me an idea as to the value of the pistol and where I could get another magazine/owners manual?
The GB stands for 'Gasse Bremske' (CZeck me on the spelling), or 'gas brake' referring to the method of recoil management. I have seen a couple of the pistols at gun shows (18 round magazine, OH YEAH!!!), then realized that the mags were made of unobtainium, and priced north of nonaffordium. My interest died quickly, when compared to my recreation fund. I shoot CZs now.
Was that the Steyr or the Cz you were referring to? I remember reading somewhere that the CZ was the standard others were compared to, but for the life of me, I can't place the article/post. The only thing shorter than my memory is...oh, never mind.
Further research indicated the GB was designed for the Austrian Army which ended up with the Glock 17. I saw another one at the San Antonio gun show yesterday, considerably more, and again with only 1 magazine.
Personally I would pay ~$500-$600 for one in decent condition. They are a durable gun. They aren't horribly rare, and they really aren't desirable so be patient if you want one (don't believe 99% of the things dealers say).
The pistol is very accurate and ergonomics are pretty good but is large and not for someone with small hands. Finding holster for is impossible but it is not a gun you would carry due to width. They are not common but not exactly rare either.
I sold my gun few years ago for $550 and that was for the pistol and two magazines. I had 7 other spare magazines that I sold over the years for low of $110 to high of $150. I know someone who purchased a mag recently for $170 and he was happy to pay for it as he was looking for months. For a pistol in very good condition with one magazine I would not pay more than $400... $450 top. Cost of spare magazine should be considered/added to your purchase price since it only comes with one mag.
