Steyr L9-A1 pros/cons

>>33010672
Pros: it's a well made reliable gun. It looks good, handles well.

Cons: it isn't as popular as other options so the aftermarket isn't there if that matters. Holster options are more limited but I doubt that matters much in Austria.

>You cunts are the closest thing to experts on this matter

Except /k/ isn't. They buy this because they think they get attention at the range for having something that isn't a Glock.

Get a Glock.

>>33010672
I have the S9A1 model myself. It's comfy in the hand and the sights and trigger are both quite nice, so it's a step up from a standard Glock right out of the box. On the other side, mine tried to bukkake me with brass when I first got it but the ejection's slowly getting better - I'm not sure if the L model has that issue or not, it's not something that particularly bothers me personally but I can understand how it might be a dealbreaker to others.

Which is then shat on when you get a Glock with either Dawsons fiber optics, Trijicon HD's, any of the Ameriglos, 10-8's, or an RMR let alone suppressor height sights. Oh sorry, nobody makes sights for the Steyr that aren't shitty plain 3 dot night sights.Then getting to triggers, ZEV, Overwatch Precision, WOTG and HSP just to name a few. Who makes extended mags for Steyrs? Arredondo? TTI? Nope.

>"right out of the box"

And into the fucking trash. Go suckstart a Caracal, hipster hobbyist.

Are you mad because I'm pointing out the truth? Sorry, truth hurts. Name 1 (one) LE agency that issues Steyr pistols.

Glocks are just better, period.

This.

The pistol was designed by a former buttmad Glock employee.

And they're bought by people that are irrationally butthurt about Glocks. Poetry.

>That'll bring your total to about 1500 dollars, Anon!
>You want us to help carry the groceries to your car?

If I'm buying a shit gun I want it less shit out of the box instead of shit with plenty of shit accessories to go with.

>>33011813

Maybe I don't want to buy all that extraneous shit for a CC piece just to make it enjoyable to practice with. If I wanted to pay well over $1k for a pistol I'd get a damn Sphinx.

Poorfags that don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Such a hobbyist mindset.

Shut the fuck up.

>>33013153
that S9 holster is gonna help him a lot for his L9 in fucking europe

>>33010672
Hold it and dryfire it if the shop lets you. Rent one out at the range. Don't be a cunt, test your shit, I can't know what size your dickskinners are.

>>33010672
Con: they didn't make the L in .357 sig so you can have a space-round to go with the space-gun

What if you just buy it because you like how it looks more then a Glock, not because you dislike glocks?

Wait, I forgot im on the internet

>>33012724

>>made by Steyr

Whats wrong with that? I love their Tractors

>>33018006
Steyr is one of those asshole companies that turned fucking dick

their current CEO doesn't like civilians buying their AUGs for example

"because they don't need those"
