Its not a walther

>>31992197
Expensive ammo of dubious benefit.

>>31992197
"Mannlicher"

>>31992197
Because it's 357 Sig.

Other than that, it's perfect.

>barrier penetration better than fo five
>capacity of 40 short and weak
>power greater than fo five +P
>much, much less recoil of 10mm

>>31992336
Regular old 9mm fits all those criteria. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool round, but I dunno that it fills a niche something else doesn't.

>shit barrier penetration

>shit at penetrating bones

>fits all criteria

Get out of your liberal bubble. 357sig is the better round, period. You give up a little capacity for a shit ton more power, and it's just as easy to shoot fast and accurate, unlike shitty rounds like 10mm and 40 short and weak.

>>31992485
No, you were comparing 357 sig to 45 and 40. 9mm does all the same shit 45 and 40 does. Maybe 357 sig ekes out a little more zip than 9mm, but that's not the comparison you were making.

>>31992485
Where do you get your info?

>>31992197
Steyr really is one of those companies that just can't find it's niche, isn't it?

How's this for my first handgun? Thinking of buying it

>>31992527
"Fucking space-age sexy pistol" is a valid niche.

Whoops, you're right. 9mm has more capacity than 45 or 40.

Nice. I saw that too. Here is a (you) for the nice picture.

Not a MK 23

It's ugly and the FNS exists.

Because the 1911 exist

I'm so conflicted. On one hand this is a shitty bait thread, but on the other hand I love Steyrs. What do, /k/?

>>31992544
that was my first handgun.

Love it.

Fun and accurate as fuck.

>>31993622
Profess your love, truly and sincerely.

>>31993622
Just recently got a Steyr S-A1 in .40 S&W for my first carry, only to find out that .40 is a dirty word all of the sudden.

But fuck you. It shoots well. I will share in your love of Steyr.

It isn't chambered in .454 casull.
It isn't a revolver.
Hell, it isn't even hammer action.

No decocking?
No safely carrying it without a holster without needing to cock it first? I'd take a double action shot over a racking any day.

>>31992197
It's not a Steyr M9, and 9mm is more practical.

>>31992265
hahaha

>>31992197
The Glock 19 exists.

>MUH HANDGUN HAS STOPPIN POWWAHH

I have news for you. All handguns absolutely suck at killing people.

There's a reason long guns are the primary military small arm, and why the vast majority of militaries barely bother with handguns.

>>31993622
They need a PR campaign, start having their guns used in movies/games more, and offer to outfit some departments at cost.

Very good pistols that are popular in Europe just zero interest here outside of the cult community. I dig 'em, wish they would cater to my personal desire and make a L10A1 with optional 40/357 barrel comparability.

>>31992197
its not a glock 40 problem solver

it's not 10mm

i don't buy into meme calibers, especially not in a meme pistol from the european equivalent of colt. desperate military contract company trying to put out hooks to civilian market

>>31992197
A gun so uninspired that it is literally named after the cartridge that it fires.

>>31992197
it even says GOY on the slide
