Sidearms & Scatterguns Anyone shoot a steyer M9A1

[NY700]

Kind of an odd ball pistol with great ergonomics. Don't see them often the price is cheap they just seem interesting
Maybe sights are, well different. Love them hate them don't know. I think a 1K rounds would be necessary to really decide.

Wondering if anyone has one and what they think of them

It looks odd, put it felt really, REALLY good in my hands. The trigger was better than a Glock. The sights were odd, but I imagine one would get used to them over time (or replace them with night sights).

I only put a couple magazines through it. I wasn't so impressed that I ran out and bought one, but I wouldn't be opposed to buying one if I got a good deal on it.

I've only shot one, and handled two. The magazine would not drop free on both. In fact, there was resistance, as if the mag were too big for the mag well and I had to physically pull it out. It sucked because I loved the look and feel of it. Unless you just want something different, I think there are better options at this price point. The other thing that kills it for me is there is no aftermarket support for these, so you had better like it as-is.

It has an unusual grip angle and feels more like a typical revolver in the hand than a polymer wondernine. The trapezoid sights take some getting used to, but, once acclimated, one typically has no issues. As was said above, they're as is, and best of luck finding a holster.

Never owned but shot one, nice gun for the price range. Sights are interesting but relatively easy once you use them a bit. Biggest reason I didn't buy was it is hard to find things like holsters and magazines are available but not common. If you are looking for another alternative might want to try ppq as it compares favorably and is much easier to find stuff for. I like the ability to put thumb against the protruding part of striker ala da/sa when reholstering.

I have over 6k rounds through mine now. Utterly reliable, but likes hotter ammo. Very accurate, easy to shoot, fast followups. My one complaint is that the thick slide makes it to heavy with an empty mag

I've had one for about 5 years and I got it cheap which is part of the reason I decided to try it. High hand to bore axis makes muzzle flip less than most pistols. Great ergos which fits my hand well. I actually like the sights, just different and needs getting used to. Prefer the trigger over Glock. All my mags drop free???

It took me a while to figure out a reliability problem which was turned out to be one particular magazine, with the other 3 it runs great, now I trust it since it's got a couple thousand rounds in IDPA and on steel. If I don't like something I usually sell it so since the pistol is in the wife's secret hiding place that should make a statement.
