Safety switch is never a problem unless you use the key…..trigger is combat, fast, and frankly when SHTF you arent going to be hearing or feeling reset. Rather a hash review for a rare event. I wouldnt stay away from the steyr in any generation. And CS is very good. They will resolve this problem. I hope you get this done and come back with a revised review.
Honest Outlaw put 1000 rounds through and had zero malfunctions.. so probably was the ammo. Yours was the first malfunction that I've heard of.. also the first I've heard about your trigger safety issue. I will be at the weapon dealer next week and I will enquire. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Absolutely love my L9A1, it will always have a place in my heart. Had the same issue once with a round being stuck in the chamber like you described, and the round was out of spec. I had to clear it the exact same way you did by getting the slide off and pressing straight down in the barrel. In my case that round was the issue since it was a reload by a friend. After that I've only fed it factory fresh and it has worked flawlessly, been shooting with it for about 8 years now and I always come back to it.
I have an L9 as well...same thing but it was always with Freedom munitions remanufactured ammo. After the third time I just went with new ammo and havn't had an issue over 800 rounds ish. Steyr handguns are just picky about ammo..no way around it.
I have said in the past RE: a kimber 10mm just about any gun can be cleaned up with a Reliability tune a small flaw may create that fail a little time to look for burrs & bad spots & clean them up will help Any Gun to work nearly every time . Clean & oil it often if you want to trust it .
gunzone sometimes has the magazines in stock I found some A1 magazines at gunbroker they work fine you just can't close the slide on an empty magazine...holsters can be found at www.craftholsters.com/steyr-m9a2-mf-holsters but I may have a local guy make me one
A shame, such a great option. My M9 A2 has been flawless but I've only gotten 100 rounds through it. The safety on mine does the same exact thing but it slides back out slowly on its own. Maybe it'll weat itself to functioning properly. I didn't notice it until you mentioned it though so I'm ok with it considering I would have to pull from the very top. Loving the PDP.
Well mine had this roughness in the triggersafety, it goes away after a time. But 1500 rounds through it, not one malfunction. Alsolutely love shooting my L9A2. There is no feeling like it.
I really like my 2 steyr's but my M9 has some mysterious issue that has happened 3 times. When I take the slide off and upon putting it back on it has stuck in a dysfunctional state & then I can't get it back off or in a workable state without substantial time of working at it....the first time It took me hours before I go the slide back off to correct it. The second time I called Steyr and they couldn't give me any real solution and tell me why it keeps happening. I know I'm doing everything right at it has never happened with my L9. So now I will take a long time between cleaning on the M9 so I don't have to worry about that issue.
Remington has weak cases and sometimes they bulge and get stuck in the chamber (prevents it from being picked and extracted); irrespective of gun manufacturer.
I have the same gun and no issues. I would not let one round discourage me. Personally I think that some guns can shoot just about any round, but others just do not take certain ammo. Do you find that a higher grain load tends to shoot better in many guns? The way this gun feels in your hand is second to none. The short barrel on this gun with number of rounds is also a plus.
And bought an M&P and haven't had any trouble because I couldn't get parts for it or get it fixed and then we're going to charge me and I bought it brand new so they're sort of stinks here in the states I know the issue I've noticed with this steyr they heat up really quick to where you can't shoot after a while and they lock up on you if they don't have enough lube . Bought 3 M&Ps small 3.6 barrel and med 4 inch and large 4.25 inch and they work flawlessly to give great customer service and have a lifetime warranty and the guns I've had before they sent me the parts with no issues I haven't had to pay.
How about putting periods at the end of your sentences so others don’t have to read your posts multiple times in order to figure out what you were trying to say?
I have 2 A1 and an A2. None of mine have the trigger safety sticking. Prob a little out of spec or have a burr on it. But it does sound like it was an ammo issue for the stuck round. Did you chamber check it after you got it removed. Happened once to me with my reloads. And it was a bad round. Missed it in case gauge. My fault.
@@1776orbust why did you make a video if you didn't pull out a doll caliper and check the diameter of the chamber and the round that was stuck? And have a local armorer put a go/no-go gauge in the chamber? I mean, why are you expecting us to respect your videos if you talk about mystery problems that you don't research? You could have done a great video, and instead made a lousy and incomplete video. It would have been good if you showed us bad ammo or a bad chamber. Instead we are guessing and wondering. You failed to check the round and chamber with any measuring tool. Did you inspect the chamber with a flashlight? And a toothpick to drag around it and see if there are burrs or deformities? Is it round? Why are you making videos that aren't good?
Bought mine December 2020 and it wouldn't go into battery about 1out of every magazine. Called Steyr and they said keep shooting it, that's normal!! Quality of build is iffy.1000 rds later it still happens once every 100rds or so.
I have the m9 a2 and it ran flawlessly for over 1000 rds and all of a sudden started having failure to eject resulting in double feeds, I thought it was ammo at first but it happened with a couple different brands very disheartening as I really love the pistol but at this point it’s just a range toy, I would not under any circumstance carry this pistol at this point
Dude, I had the same issue with my M9A1. Very few times it has happened to me. Twice when I racked the slide not fully back. Once it had a light primer strike, but yeah if it gets stuck, it is a bitch to clear. Please let me know what feedback you got. I love the gun and am trying to figure out if this is just an anomaly. I could have limp waisted this I suppose but it is not an issue with any of my other pistols. I had a bad recoil spring on a used Glock 19 I bought which went away once I replaced it, but it was a cinch to clear and I only have a couple thousand rounds through my M9A1 at most. Only happened a few times but disconcerting. I am going to cycle snap caps through it to see if I can recreated the error. I suspect it is due to the tolerances being finer than my Glock…. By the way I think the trigger is good. Not as good as my VP9, but good. I’ve always put this gun ahead of my Glock, but my Glock doesn’t do that.
I love Steyrs to but they have very poor to none aftermarket support and a very limited option in holsters, you only option is very much kydex or some random multi fit holster, I use a dedicated holster for every single pistol. I like good holsters from good brands like Safariland but they dont do many for CZ, Steyr, HK or Walther.
Shadow Defensive and Custom Holster Solutions are well undoubtably have a holster for you, depending on if you want IWB or OWB (and with retention), and then depending on what WML if any.
I have loved all my Steyr pistols - until this one. The ergonomically are fantastic but the shooting experience and the trigger or nothing like the previous ones. I searched for this pistol for quite a while and was really looking forward to it but for me it was a big disappointment. I still love my older Steyrs but for me, this one is a miss. Thank you very much for the video.
No the steyr is a fantastic weapon. I have many guns including the p10c, Pdp, m&p, vp9...but I still carry my glock. The others are fun to shoot, have better features, better triggers...but glock is simple and reliable and that's what you want in a carry gun.
@@1776orbust You know what I meant. I bet 99% of the Monday morning armchair owners would never have noticed, found, or figured out that design flaw if it wasn't pointed out and described to them.

Hands down one of the best looking firearms on the current market
Amen. The Space Force gun.
I love mine. Took some effort getting use to the sites but love them now
The A1 was much better looking!

We look forward to the follow up.
I love mine!! just can't find Magazines and Holsters.... Please keep us informed about the outcome. Thank you for the review! Well done as always!

I got a kydex holster made from a guy on eBay. I want a retention holster though and can’t find one
Mags on Steyr website.
I got a handmade kydex iwb from muddy river tactical
Ghost Italy make great holsters for Styers well worth a look I have several and would recommend them.
Experienced the same issue with a brand new L9 MF A2 plus many malfunctions. The pistol was replaced by the dealer without discussions.
Agreed on the ergonomics.

I’m getting the PDP too and it might slide in 2nd or 1st place if I can shoot it as well as my VP9, but that’s a tall order.
One misfire and stay away? No way. Put 1,000 more thru it and re-evaluate…..

Damn it. Hope you just got a lemon. Luv these guns.
The trigger sounds like molding a slight burr in the polymer
I had the same problem with the L9. seems to happen more often with this steyr.
Looked for a Steyr a few years back and the shops near me weren't able to get a Steyr ..
Which night sights fit this pistol?
Wonder why Steyr gave up on the S9 - Subcompact version with the 10 round magazine? Have they not heard of CCW is Austria???

Did you chamber check it after you got it removed. Happened once to me with my reloads. And it was a bad round. Missed it in case gauge. My fault.
No I did not check it but 99 out of 100 rounds has me suspecting the round.

Mine has the same problem. I'm disappointed and I would not trust this pistol with my life.
Mine does the same, usually will not go into battery once a magazine. I would steer clear of this handgun.
Not sure why they decided not to go with an optic plate system to mount an RDS, smh..

Looks like a decent shooter with good accuracy. I would send that one back to Steyr for a full inspection.
Dysfunctional is a clear misnomer in this case.

Don't worry about the trigger safety, the safety is located between your ears.

that is unfortunate. You should sell it.....to me :-)
The only thing that sux about the MF line.... The Aftermarket.
this is a EXCEPTIONAL pistol,this will be my carry gun from now on if you dont have one get one,you will put that glock up
No thanks.

@@Miahaskiell I have to agree with you 100% on that,there is a quote, if you treat your gun like a lawnmower buy yourself a glock
Sorry? Dysfunctional? Do you remember that the Glock only exists thanks to the Steyr's patents? So Glock is super dysfunctional then? ;))
