The more I have shot my M9A1, the better I have gotten with this pistol. I am of the opinion that it is a better gun than the Glock. Even though the grip angle is not as natural as John M. Browning's, the ergonomic hump on the grip not only locks my hands in there, it gives me queues on how to point it. The trigger is way smoother than the Glock's. The grip angle and ergos lend themselves to recoil management. It does occasional ping me off the head with brass. The election pattern is inconsistent but the gun is reliable.
Thank you for another excellent GROWN UP review! I never miss any heavy-metal soundtracks that other UA-camrs think are needed to keep our attention. That newest Steyr version lost the distinct protruding loaded chamber indicator that USED to be on the earlier versions, protruding from the rear and easily felt from the holstered gun without looking. The sights are designed so that the target bullseye sits on the TOP OF THE TIP of the front pyramid, which sits INSIDE of the trapezoid rear sight. So the bullseye sits on its bottom on the top level of the sights, a little higher than "six-o-clock." Your "high" first shots were right on! The "Glockish" grip angle is by design: when extending the arm the grip causes the sights to arrive "high" but when the fist tightens on the gun the wrist naturally drops the front sight LOWER, so the front sight drops into the rear. Glocks with the original white outline sight are like "dropping the ball into the basket;" Steyr is even more precise. This is BY DESIGN, and you will come to see how natural it is..........................elsullo
Thank you for the review. I had to watch several videos until someone actually described what the sight is made of, which is steel. I stayed around for the entire review and you did a very thorough job. Thank you!
Wow, I was surprised by how refreshing it is to watch a review of something different from the most promoted products on the Internet. It's also refreshing to see a reviewer who appears genuine and at ease with who he really is. You have a new subscriber.
@@hrfunk thrilled with it. Got back into shooting after a 30 year hiatus. Have a Canik tp9 elite sc, and picked up the steyr, which has definitely become my preference. Took to the the trapezoidal sighting immediately.
Enjoyed your video HR. I have the M9 A-1 Steyr. Sights are a plus to me also. My trigger took a while to get used to. Almost no discernible break, just mush. Absolutely no reset. At 10-12 yards it will stack them in a small group. Mine is also a tack driver.
Have the sub compact, M9 and L9. Purchased two of each of the mid and long slide varients as i like them so much. Have glocks, P320s, HKs, Wilson Combats and NIghthawk pistols, so pretty much all the tier 1 handguns. For the money i belive the Steyrs to be the best. Ultra reliable, ergonomic, low bore axis, great trigger and accurate as a laser beam.
I went to the gun store yesterday just to look around. They had a C9-A2 MF. I didn't know anything about the Steyr handgun line,but as soon as I held it I bought it.
Absolutely fantastic review of this firearm! I just purchased one and I’m very excited to get it after watching this review. Best review of the Steyr M9-A2 MF I have seen! Very thorough!
Once you get used to the Steyr I think you will find it to be an excellent flat shooting and accurate handgun. I’m a certified steyr pistol fan boy. I have been shooting them for 3ish years exclusively in competition. And have around 40k thru mine. They are solid handguns.
HR I have to totally agree with you on loaded chamber indicators there should be a mechanical part you could feel for whether it be of the Springfield type at the rear or a arm at the top of the slide at the rear of the chamber , it’s all about knowing even if the slide doesn’t lock back on the last round , stay safe in this upside world we live in
Held onecat local show, the trigger felt loose & absolutely agree about the on the slide cut. Seems like a option that should've been included. Great video ty for posting
@@hrfunk MecGar also makes mags for Steyr of excellent quality. All of the full-sized pistol mags for Steyr are interchangeable, and fit into the compact frames too..........................elsullo
I had been looking for these for quite a bit. I finally stumbled across one and executed. It is an M9A1 but even though it has smooth texture, your hands sink into it and you’re not dropping it. The trigger is very good. I’d heard the A2 trigger wasn’t as good, but I haven’t verified. Mine is a laser beam. The only complaint I have is the random ejection pattern. I heard they fixed that in the A2. You’re right about the grip angle and elevation, but it is easier to figure out with the hump and the undercut. It gives you queues how to point it. The grip angle really minimizes recoil. You can shoot it really fast. I’m not sure where I stand on the optics. I am very used to iron sites. I really like the trapezoid sites but they should have done the with tritium inserts IMO. I want factory night sights. I’m seriously considering the A2.
I have both the M9-A1and M9-A2, can confirm, the mag release is reversible ( reach in with a small flathead screwdriver and push out the spring and flip over and reinsert the spring). I actually do have the one side flat and the raise side panel on the other side of the grip. The A1 has a pin head that pops out the back when it has a loaded chamber
I recently watched your review on the cs9 s&w made me do the deal picked up on trade ... What a gem 💎 the steyr m9 a2 MF is my next gun on the radar and it's bringing me to want this gun . Thank you for your honest reviews for honest people .. good work sir . James from Missouri
That’s an interesting question. Since the Steyr is still in production, it’s value is pretty stable. It’s on the high side for a poly/striker pistol, but not outrageously so. The CS9 has been out of print for nearly 20 years. It’s value will be established by collector interest, but I suspect it will increase over time.
A handgun I was very interested in theres been several iterations what it embodies is a more ergonomic glock design the compact model can also function with the standard higher cap magazines as well. I think steyr makes solid products they just suffer from a advertising deficit here In the states I've only seen one of these show up in a local gun shop in my parts nd its remained basically unknown those whove reviewed one have had nothing but positive remarks.
Thank you HR for sharing the loaded weight of the gun. I've always thought what good is an unloaded weight, when you obviousely wouldn't be carrying it that way.
Agree on the Glock grip angle. The only thing that really changed it up for me was putting the beavertail backstrap on my G19x. It's like an entirely different pistol. Really like the sci-fi looks of the Styer MF pistols.
Excellent detailed review of an unusual pistol. I appreciate the closeups of the pistol. Some gun reviewers talk too much & show the firearm too little. They should watch your videos to see your " squared away" expertise. Thanks for the video & thank you for your past service to your country.👍
I owned one of the original versions and really enjoyed it. Yes, the sights are different but work really well, and I liked them. I had no problem adjusting to them. I'm also troubled by the Glockish grip angle. I tried a few Glocks but they just don't point for me. CZs, Sigs, Berettas and 1911s do point for me. I also prefer metal and wood as opposed to plastic. and I love revolvers. Of course, I'm older now... Like you, I am attracted to handguns that are different. Another great video! Thanks!
Great video sir as usual👌🏻. I only use weapons of iron and wood now in my old age. But I always enjoy what you have to say and the perspective you give.
I purchased a c9-a2 mf after I regrettably sold my m9-a1 4th gen. Best pistol for the money. There is a night sight option, mine has factory nightsights... they are standard 3 dot fiber optic tru-glo
So I am a lot like you in that I seem drawn to firearms with a different look. That’s what caught my eye to a used M9-A1 in a gun auction on line. Never thought I’d pick up the pistol for the price, but upon ejection issues I had educated myself on Steyr’s models by way of UA-cam’s “TN Steyr” & found it to be a generation plagued with this problem. Good news is Steyr USA was fantastic to work with repairing it. It’s incredibly reliable and easy to get on target with the sights. I love it enough I saw a L9-A1 in a gun store new a bought it immediately. (It by the way has the rear loaded chamber indicator) It’s my edc now and I want to get 1 or 2 A2s.
I'm a little late to this video, but I recently Re-Acquired my Steyr L40-A1. I had sold it to an uncle of mine, and he recently passed away, so it was given back to me. Mine isn't the A2, but a Gen-3 A1 model, which I find a bit more aesthetically pleasing. I've had no mechanical issues with my Steyr, and it shoots far better than my skills allow. My only issue is that Steyr doesn't do much for marketing in the United States. While it seems that everyone and their fifth cousin is offering a cookie cutter Poly/Striker gun, Steyr was already offering a unique take on them back in 1999. Seeing as you are a notable GunTuber, I wonder if you and other GunTubers do anything in the way of communicating with companies in order to get more product support in the U.S. It's very difficult to find suitable aftermarket parts and accessories for these amazing pistols.
I doubt there’s much I can do to influence Steyr’s business decisions. They were conspicuously absent from last week’s NRAAM. I was hoping to speak with some of their representatives there, but no luck.
The sights do look interesting. It looks like they would be easy to use. Steyr usually produces quality products. As for emergency racking the pistol slide one handed, A friend of mine lost his dominate hand in a accident. Watching him operate a slide at the range is interesting. He had an attempted break in a few years ago and claims he operated the slide of his 1911 by hooking the rear sight on the edge of a table and pushing down. If I was in his situation I would go with a revolver like a S&W Mod15 or similar.
Very informative video Mr.Funk. For whatever reason I've liked the style of the Styer but after handling a couple of them at a gun shop, I just can't get past the rake of the handle. It's just too much like it's cousin from Austria. That's a killer for me. It's still a nice looking pistol though. But I hope you enjoy it and get the sights tuned to your liking. Thank you for this video and keep those rounds heading down range, sir. Take care.
Nice review👍 I am getting my self an Steyr L9-A2 MF in just a couple of weeks. As I understand and have seen the magazine release are swapable to the other side. And its only the L9-A2 model the have an Loaded Chamber Indicater Rod out the back on the A2 modell. I'll let you know when I get mine to be sure👍
@@hrfunk I hope ill like it when I get it. I am like you and dont want what "everybody" else have. So this is going to be my first modern pistol. I have an Husqvarna M40 also👍
Great video, I always learn something from you , however I prefer revolvers my 2 favs are snub nose NMA w/conversion to .45 LC and * inch NMA also converted they pack a lot of power and accuracy
I have had my Steyr L9-A2 since August 2020 (Approximately one year now) and have only put 650 rounds through it. I have had four failures to extract and I have found that when I load it to full capacity, chambering a round then loading a full mag in it will occasionally make the slide go slightly out of battery causing the firearm not to fire. That might just be the case with mine, but it is something to consider if you own one. I have owned my Steyr M9-A1 for over four years now and have over 3200 rounds through it with 0 malfunctions. My Steyr AUG M3 A1 has over 2600 rounds through it with 0 malfunctions.
I’ve probably got about 250 rounds through my M9 A2. So far, it’s functioned flawlessly. Moreover, I haven’t cleaned it since I started shooting it, and I’ve taken to carrying it when I do outdoor work around my house (intentionally subjecting it to dust, sweat, and the occasional bump and ding). I’m trying to find out just how long I can neglect it before it chokes. So far, it hasn’t missed a beat.
I've liked MOST of the Steyr pistols I've had the opportunity to handle over the years... the sole exception being that 19-shot monstrosity they offered in the late 80's, which had a grip configuration like a 2x4! Unfortunately for me, I haven't had the chance to try out the M9 A2 MF, as it's 4" barrel leaves it Prohibited under Canadian law. I really do get a chuckle out of foreign manufacturers' model designations, though. No American company would dream of designating their pistol the MF... at least, unless it was a Samuel L. Jackson Limited Edition!
Yeah, I think they should have thought a little longer before they decided to add "MF" to the moniker. The good news for you is they also produce a 4.5" L9 A2 MF. You might be able to find one of them in your neck of the woods. Good luck!
@@hrfunk I will definitely look into that. Our gun stores here should be reopening for business soon, and I'll have to see if my local shop has one in that I can have a look at.
@@hrfunk … Hey, man! :) I loved the sights. I thought I was gonna have trouble getting used to it…nope; Great trigger; low recoil; and above all: the gun is really fun to shoot. My wife really liked it too. :)
A really excellent review, HR, and much appreciated. I have zero Steyr shorting experience, but it certainly looks like a well designed, high quality and carefully thought-through autoloader. I have looked at Steyr “pyramid” sights before - I am NOT suggesting they are inferior in any way - but I suspect they’d take some time and practice for me to become acclimated to them. I’d also strongly agree with your “optics ready” criticism; given the current state of autoloader designs, this seems like a “no brainer” to me, whether or not an individual chooses to use them. Thanks, again.
You’re welcome Roy. For me, at least, the sights were pretty easy to acclimate myself to. The Glock grip angle is giving me more trouble than the sights, but that is just a training issue. More trigger time should cure me (if I can find reasonably priced 9mm ammo.)
@@hrfunk I know there’s no answer to this, but I own two Glocks (a 23C and a 36), and my accuracy with each is decidedly subpar (due to the ergonomics). Now, I’m sure we’d both acknowledge that’s not Glock’s problem - after all, there are millions who love the overall design - but ours. Still, accuracy is essential and fundamental, I can attain it with many semiautomatics, but not with Glocks, so that’s MY answer to the question.
I don’t know if this has ever been studied (probably not) but I suspect a shooters affinity, or lack thereof, for a particular grip (angle, profile, circumference, etc.) is linked to the pistol with which they learned to shoot. For me, that would be the 1911A1. Pistols that more or less replicate the form of the 1911 (like the S&W M&P for example) tend to point quite naturally for me, and I recover from recoil more quickly for follow-up shots. Had I cut my shooting teeth on a Luger, I might really like the Glock pistols.
@@hrfunk I wholeheartedly agree, HR. For decades, I was a Smith double action revolver guy (it’s what the Bureau used and, therefore, what my dad employed to instruct me back in the 1950’s and 1960’s). In fact, the first sidearm I ever bought (and I still lobe it) ways a five inch barrel S&W M27 (my welcome home present in the early1970’s from a miserable 18 month overseas assignment). Until the late-1980’s the only autoloaders I had any real experience with were 1911-A1s and a Browning Hi-Power. I next purchased a G23C (like you, the .40 S&W cartridge seemed like an optimized load to me), and I hated it (although it was unfailingly reliable and durable). So, I agree with your thesis concerning the ergonomics (perhaps, mussel memory) of what we first used having a long-term effect on what we find “comfortable.” And, fwiw, I bought a 9x19mm Smith, 4.25 inch barrel, M&P a good many years ago, and found out to be very satisfactory; accordingly, it’s not a polymer frame and a striker action that’s MY problem.
evening hr i had the m9-a2-cf for awhile only complaint, 2 of them, could not find a dedicated holster for ccw for it and i could not get used to the sights for rapid shots kept shooting high. but other than that i thought it was an very nice pistol , and in my opinion it put the other austrian made pistol to shame
Really liked your thorough review beginning to end. You have an eye for detail.The quality looks great and it shoots good. It also looks expensive? You are right 3mags should be included to make the package complete. Thank you for another Excellent video as always.Semper Fi
Growing up, I always shot with a 6 a clock hold. Lot's of newer pistol now are center hold and it's taking me sometime to adjust. Hate that I missed Zoom call. I had to assist my wife with a client. I hope to catch the next one.
I got your email. No problem, I know how those things go (I have to help my wife with a client every now and then). I'll schedule another one in the future.
I saw a lot of Steyrs when visiting Georgia ( Caucasian republic) as well as Estonia ( Baltic state). They sold way more Steyrs than Glocks. I like the pistol, it is well above average. As far as Mannlicher goes it is advisable to learn original German pronunciation, it in no way implies any questionable connotation! Also as always thank You very much for Your review!
I was looking at these as a possible addition and there are three things that, for me, could be different. Decreased grip angle, not so much slide hanging back over the shooting hand and the deactivation key assembly. I figured though that the gun is of high quality and would be a good range toy.
@@hrfunk LOL yeah but it's on the list with several others including the new M&P with the aluminum frame which costs a lot more. Ah to be a rich guy...
Chief, Again another great video and I think this a nice pistol as well, not a fan of Glock either and the Steyr looks to be something I would purchase. Thank you so much for another great video.
I have found the Winchester Active Duty M1152 115 grain ball flat point shoots point of aim point of impact at 5 meters to 25 meters . It's a little hot but my XDM Pistol and my Ruger Carbine PC 9 loves it .Out of the Ruger carbine at 150 Yards I put down a few Hogs & Coyotes with no problems. The Flat Point hits hard and penetrants Deep . This is the same ammo the US Military is using now they switched from 124 grain round nose ball to 115 grain flat point with the Winchester Active duty M1152 Military Ball flat point.Like most military ammo its a little Hot. +P+. =
Nice gun, good shooting. Thanks for including the sight correction and not making us wait. Is the adjustment tool included or did you have to find a metric hex wrench?
HR I enjoy your reviews and insights and I also seem to gravitate to some of the more interesting or unusual designs. Did you ever shoot the Steyr GB and if so what was your impression? Have you considered changing out the back strap to see if it changes your grip on a good way?
I never shot a GB, so I can't comment on them. So far, I haven't changed the grip configuration on the M9. It comes from the factory with the small backstrap and grip panels installed. I think going to the larger options would just exacerbate the pointing Issues I'm having with it. Instead, I'm going to keep working with it "as is" and see if things improve with time and familiarity.
It looks made specifically for a duty gun. I shot my buddies and it was a good shooter. Given the length of the stock(grip) and magazine extension it is going to print more than other choices. Good looking gun, I bet Milt Spark will make a holster for it.
Plastic Sigs are notorious for out of whack sights,there is no excuse for that,Polymer guns seem to just be rushed out the door,I only carry or in the future buy steel or alloy frame.
I've handled, but never fired, the original version. Didn't know they updated it. Thanks for the high quality (as always) review. One thing you didn't mention; What does "MF" stand for?
I have the C9-A2 MF and the exact same thing happened. The rear sight was drifted left from the factory. Burned 150 rounds before feeling the rear sight and how proud it was on the left edge. With such a short sight radius I was printing 3 inches left at 7 yards. So far, this is the third time I have heard sights were left of correct from the factory. I was a little let down. Also, the trapezoidal sights were impossible to shoot at night.
@@hrfunk Balances well, shoots up to my standards of around the MOA mark and for such a thin barrel the POI does not shift much if any that I notice. The only mods I have made is the addition of quick detach attachment points versus the Steyr oddball sling attachment devices. I got mine out of an estate sale for a low price, one of those GunBroker unicorn deals
@@hrfunk No sir I don't see much benefit to a Scout scope run a regular 2-7 Leupold of the inexpensive variety. And I have run a Vortex RDS on it and if you don't need magnification it is quite the handy rig. I bought the .223 version because I like to practice a lot and I am not much for recoil. If I had bought this before I bought my Weatherby Accumark in .308 for deer I might have went out and bought the .308 version, and this is heresy for me since I am a Weatherby snob, practically since birth.
Well just got my hands on one today I had been researching and in the market for one for a couple years I intend to make this a staple in my carry rotation after a little testing I'm pleased with how it feels in the hand and the sights at least for me seem to have very solid pickup I like the compact and ergonomic design my home defense pistol is a glock 21 with tritium sights and a weapons light onboard I would consider a weapons light on the small real estate provided here and would absolutely like any input you might have on where to procure a quality holster for these perhaps if we all petition Vedder to offer one they will produce something exceptional in kydex.
Double-Click Holsters is one of the few options out there. I’m probably going to get one of them for my pistol. Here’s a link to their site: www.doubleclickholsters.com/shop/owb-holster/safecarry-ranger/
Brother Funk I found one new. But L9 A2 MF. Got it to the range and shot it with 100 round pack of 115 grain FMJ Browning ammo. Then 50 rounds of 124 grain Federal Hydra Shock which I have had in my safe for sometime. It fit my hand most excellent. Trigger I thought was very good. Sights at first were hard to get use to but did and weirdly I like them. Especially fast shooting. Very accurate. Flat shooting. Bearly a muzzle rise recoil. We the people holsters had a holster. It on the way. Cytac for duty carry. Trying to find extra mag. Any suggestions. This is a keeper for me. Great review. God bless PNC/E7 USN RETIRED
These things are hidden gems in the handgun world. The only downside is the lack of support. I think the only source for magazines is Steyr. I haven’t checked their website lately, but I haven’t been able to order an additional mag yet.
a local shop got a bunch of these & I literally refused to handle one...woulda been too tempting & I would have to sell/trade a few beloved items to offset the $569 the shop was charging; settled on a Ruger Security 9 for $389 at a different shop & I was able to part with a redundant firearm to offset the cost...
Thanx for all the good info... I get my M9 A2 in a week just wondering if you had any recommendations on good range ammo don't know how picky the M9 A2 is
Yes sir Thank you for your time that makes thing's alittle easier for me... the rear sights being slightly off is definitely something I'll have to take a look at also when I received mine also Love the shirt
Would you say the grip length without a mag in it is Glock 19 length ? I’ve been thinking of getting one but I want to carry it so I’ve been think of just using the older mags that aren’t extended
Tried using the gun direct targeting no using sights, like in real combat situation...no time to pick up and target....25 meters distance....nailing 8/10 in body target.....just because of the grip angle the gun is "extention" of the hand...
The scallops where your thumb was resting is actually where the safety activation levers are on the 1st gen.( kind of looked like glock take down levers). Why they are on the latest generation with no safety, I don’t know.
From 30 feet (10m) i can shoot the 'X' away that has been drawn onto the target, the sights are that good. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Greetings! And thanks for watching.
The more I have shot my M9A1, the better I have gotten with this pistol. I am of the opinion that it is a better gun than the Glock. Even though the grip angle is not as natural as John M.

Love my m9a2, it runs flawlessly and is super accurate, the trapezoidal sight is great for getting dead center on your target fast.
Seen these for under 400 dollars on a few website ...... great deal on a excellent and truly unique pistol

I like the sights, but it’s going to take me a bit to get used to the grip. Thanks for all the info!
I have low vision. 20-350 in both eyes, but I can keep an 8 inch group at 15 yards with my s a1 in 40 S&W. Love the sight design.
Great info. Thanks!
Obey rule number one and no loaded chamber indicator is needed. Rule number one always works.

Great video! Have been interested in Steyr for some time but that Browning High Power steals my heart! Thanks HR!
You’re welcome Dan. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I've been looking at the Steyr M9 for years and I think this cemented it as my next handgun.
If you get one, I think you’re going to like it!
I saw a used Steyr pistol at a gunstore last week. I ended up buying another pistol, but I'm going to go check that pistol out, maybe my next pistol.
If you get it be sure to let me know what you think of it.
That's quite a name for a pistol. I wonder if they consulted with Samuel L Jackson on it? lol
He did mention the Steyr AUG in Jackie Brown...
I see what you did there
The MF stands for My Friend
Very happy to have found your channel and this review. Purchased this very model today.
What do you think of it?
@@hrfunk thrilled with it. Got back into shooting after a 30 year hiatus. Have a Canik tp9 elite sc, and picked up the steyr, which has definitely become my preference. Took to the the trapezoidal sighting immediately.
I like the sights too. In fact, I like most aspects of the Steyr pistol except the angle of the grip. I’m still working to master that.
Enjoyed your video HR. I have the M9 A-1 Steyr. Sights are a plus to me also. My trigger took a while to get used to. Almost no discernible break, just mush. Absolutely no reset. At 10-12 yards it will stack them in a small group. Mine is also a tack driver.
I have a C9-A2, love it. Shoots great.
Thanks for doing such a thorough video on that pistol. I bought mine 2 years ago and love it. Definite improvement on the A1.
My pleasure, Will. Thanks for watching!
Have the sub compact, M9 and L9. Purchased two of each of the mid and long slide varients as i like them so much. Have glocks, P320s, HKs, Wilson Combats and NIghthawk pistols, so pretty much all the tier 1 handguns. For the money i belive the Steyrs to be the best. Ultra reliable, ergonomic, low bore axis, great trigger and accurate as a laser beam.
I have never understood why Steyr doesn't promote them more.
I went to the gun store yesterday just to look around. They had a C9-A2 MF. I didn't know anything about the Steyr handgun line,but as soon as I held it I bought it.
I like my M9. I carry it pretty frequently. Let me know how you like yours when you get to shoot it.
Absolutely fantastic review of this firearm! I just purchased one and I’m very excited to get it after watching this review. Best review of the Steyr M9-A2 MF I have seen! Very thorough!
Thank you!
@@hrfunk You’re very welcome!
This pistol is on our wish list! Love to see this pistol in .45 caliber. Great review!
Thanks John!
Once you get used to the Steyr I think you will find it to be an excellent flat shooting and accurate handgun. I’m a certified steyr pistol fan boy. I have been shooting them for 3ish years exclusively in competition. And have around 40k thru mine. They are solid handguns.
So far, I like everything about my M9 except the grip angle. That’s going to take some more getting used to.
HR I have to totally agree with you on loaded chamber indicators there should be a mechanical part you could feel for whether it be of the Springfield type at the rear or a arm at the top of the slide at the rear of the chamber , it’s all about knowing even if the slide doesn’t lock back on the last round , stay safe in this upside world we live in
Thanks, you too!
Great video! Thank you
Held onecat local show, the trigger felt loose & absolutely agree about the on the slide cut. Seems like a option that should've been included. Great video ty for posting
You’re welcome!
Great review, very thorough!
Thank you!
Can't wait to see the holster for the Steyr.
or magazines...
Mags are available directly from Steyr.
Comparing the accuracy, which is better, the Beretta M9 A3 or the Steyr M9 A2 MF?
I’ll have to do that comparison to find out. I suspect the Beretta will have an advantage due to its longer sight radius, but we shall see.
@@hrfunk MecGar also makes mags for Steyr of excellent quality. All of the full-sized pistol mags for Steyr are interchangeable, and fit into the compact frames too..........................elsullo
Thank you,love mine..fast sight picture, the L9 1 is the standard military configuration..they really grow on ya..🤠
So far I like this one. I just wish they had used a grip angle closer to the 1911. The “Glock angle” has never pointed naturally for me.
Love mine! Your videos are all Outstanding! Thank you!
You're welcome William. Thanks for watching!
I had been looking for these for quite a bit. I finally stumbled across one and executed. It is an M9A1 but even though it has smooth texture, your hands sink into it and you’re not dropping it. The trigger is very good. I’d heard the A2 trigger wasn’t as good, but I haven’t verified. Mine is a laser beam. The only complaint I have is the random ejection pattern. I heard they fixed that in the A2.
You’re right about the grip angle and elevation, but it is easier to figure out with the hump and the undercut. It gives you queues how to point it. The grip angle really minimizes recoil. You can shoot it really fast. I’m not sure where I stand on the optics. I am very used to iron sites. I really like the trapezoid sites but they should have done the with tritium inserts IMO. I want factory night sights.
I’m seriously considering the A2.
I like mine a lot. I haven’t shot any of the previous versions, but I’m glad to hear you’re pleased with the one you purchased.
Excellent overview!!!
These are good pistols. I'm not sure why they are so obscure.
I have both the M9-A1and M9-A2, can confirm, the mag release is reversible ( reach in with a small flathead screwdriver and push out the spring and flip over and reinsert the spring). I actually do have the one side flat and the raise side panel on the other side of the grip.
The A1 has a pin head that pops out the back when it has a loaded chamber
Thank you. I thought that was the case with the A2, but I just could not find any confirmation.
Thank you great review
Outstanding review
Thank you Marco!
I recently watched your review on the cs9 s&w made me do the deal picked up on trade ... What a gem 💎 the steyr m9 a2 MF is my next gun on the radar and it's bringing me to want this gun . Thank you for your honest reviews for honest people .. good work sir .
James from Missouri
You're welcome James. Just FYI, I mlike the Steyr more and more every time I shoot it!
@@hrfunk would you trade your cs9 for it tho ?
@@jamesripp7325 No. the CS9 will never leave my collection.
@@hrfunk ok do you feel the value of the cs9 is higher than that of the steyr?
That’s an interesting question. Since the Steyr is still in production, it’s value is pretty stable. It’s on the high side for a poly/striker pistol, but not outrageously so. The CS9 has been out of print for nearly 20 years. It’s value will be established by collector interest, but I suspect it will increase over time.
A handgun I was very interested in theres been several iterations what it embodies is a more ergonomic glock design the compact model can also function with the standard higher cap magazines as well. I think steyr makes solid products they just suffer from a advertising deficit here In the states I've only seen one of these show up in a local gun shop in my parts nd its remained basically unknown those whove reviewed one have had nothing but positive remarks.
Great video, Howard! I am a fan of both the M9 and the L9 although I don’t own either one. I enjoy your videos!
Thanks Bruce!
PDP or A2 has my interest, the slide cut seems to be a no brainer for modern polymer weapons . Great & information
Thank you HR for sharing the loaded weight of the gun. I've always thought what good is an unloaded weight, when you obviousely wouldn't be carrying it that way.
You’re welcome Kevin. Thanks for watching!
Agree on the Glock grip angle. The only thing that really changed it up for me was putting the beavertail backstrap on my G19x. It's like an entirely different pistol. Really like the sci-fi looks of the Styer MF pistols.
Excellent detailed review of an unusual pistol. I appreciate the closeups of the pistol. Some gun reviewers talk too much & show the firearm too little. They should watch your videos to see your " squared away" expertise. Thanks for the video & thank you for your past service to your country.👍
It was an honor. Thanks for watching.
I have the c9-a2 and it is a flat shooter. Amazing pistol
I like mine more and more the longer I own it.
I owned one of the original versions and really enjoyed it. Yes, the sights are different but work really well, and I liked them. I had no problem adjusting to them. I'm also troubled by the Glockish grip angle.
I tried a few Glocks but they just don't point for me. CZs, Sigs, Berettas and 1911s do point for me. I also prefer metal and wood as opposed to plastic. and I love revolvers. Of course, I'm older now... Like you, I am attracted to handguns that are different.
Another great video! Thanks!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Great review. I’ve been eyeballing the Steyer for a while now. I think I’m gonna have to go ahead and get one
If you do, be sure to let me know what you think of it.
@@hrfunk Will do for sure I’m headed to my local gun shop tomorrow to order one.
Great video sir as usual👌🏻. I only use weapons of iron and wood now in my old age. But I always enjoy what you have to say and the perspective you give.
Thank you for watching!
The pyramidal sights are awesome!
I absolutely love this pistol. Not normally a polymer pistol fan. My new go to for self defense. Sold my Glock.
I purchased a c9-a2 mf after I regrettably sold my m9-a1 4th gen. Best pistol for the money. There is a night sight option, mine has factory nightsights... they are standard 3 dot fiber optic tru-glo
I wish they offered night sights in the trapezoid configuration. Thanks for watching!
Excellent review
Thank you!
Awesome kimber and styer are now being made in Bama! Sweet
most reliable 9mm on the market!!!
so true
FN would be #2 or tied for 1st. glock is not as good as everyone thinks. ever see the glock torture test dvd. it fails almost every test
So I am a lot like you in that I seem drawn to firearms with a different look. That’s what caught my eye to a used M9-A1 in a gun auction on line. Never thought I’d pick up the pistol for the price, but upon ejection issues I had educated myself on Steyr’s models by way of UA-cam’s “TN Steyr” & found it to be a generation plagued with this problem. Good news is Steyr USA was fantastic to work with repairing it. It’s incredibly reliable and easy to get on target with the sights. I love it enough I saw a L9-A1 in a gun store new a bought it immediately. (It by the way has the rear loaded chamber indicator)
It’s my edc now and I want to get 1 or 2 A2s.
I really like my Steyr. The only downside is holsters. Finding something to fit them is a challenge.
@@hrfunk best quality I’ve found is “Double Click holsters”. Twice the thickness of the kydex sturdy and very well made. Also available with lights.
@@66ECHO I agree. I have one of their holsters for my M9 A2
Another fine review on your part sir. Steyr could use this video to promote the sale of this pistol. Video is crystal clear. Good job.
Thank you Paul!
I'm a little late to this video, but I recently Re-Acquired my Steyr L40-A1. I had sold it to an uncle of mine, and he recently passed away, so it was given back to me.
Mine isn't the A2, but a Gen-3 A1 model, which I find a bit more aesthetically pleasing. I've had no mechanical issues with my Steyr, and it shoots far better than my skills allow. My only issue is that Steyr doesn't do much for marketing in the United States.
While it seems that everyone and their fifth cousin is offering a cookie cutter Poly/Striker gun, Steyr was already offering a unique take on them back in 1999.
Seeing as you are a notable GunTuber, I wonder if you and other GunTubers do anything in the way of communicating with companies in order to get more product support in the U.S. It's very difficult to find suitable aftermarket parts and accessories for these amazing pistols.
I doubt there’s much I can do to influence Steyr’s business decisions. They were conspicuously absent from last week’s NRAAM. I was hoping to speak with some of their representatives there, but no luck.
This looks interesting ! Havent seen any with the Styer! HR IS ALWAYS GOOD.HOPE I GET A REMINDER.
It’s up Brian. Let me know what you think.
The sights do look interesting. It looks like they would be easy to use. Steyr usually produces quality products.
As for emergency racking the pistol slide one handed, A friend of mine lost his dominate hand in a accident. Watching him operate a slide at the range is interesting. He had an attempted break in a few years ago and claims he operated the slide of his 1911 by hooking the rear sight on the edge of a table and pushing down. If I was in his situation I would go with a revolver like a S&W Mod15 or similar.
I really enjoy mine
Well done Marine
Semper Fi, Sir!
Very informative video Mr.Funk. For whatever reason I've liked the style of the Styer but after handling a couple of them at a gun shop, I just can't get past the rake of the handle. It's just too much like it's cousin from Austria. That's a killer for me. It's still a nice looking pistol though. But I hope you enjoy it and get the sights tuned to your liking. Thank you for this video and keep those rounds heading down range, sir. Take care.
Thank you!
Nice review👍 I am getting my self an Steyr L9-A2 MF in just a couple of weeks. As I understand and have seen the magazine release are swapable to the other side. And its only the L9-A2 model the have an Loaded Chamber Indicater Rod out the back on the A2 modell. I'll let you know when I get mine to be sure👍
Thanks Phillip. Enjoy your new pistol!
@@hrfunk I hope ill like it when I get it. I am like you and dont want what "everybody" else have. So this is going to be my first modern pistol. I have an Husqvarna M40 also👍
Another fine review...
Thank you!
Great video, I always learn something from you , however I prefer revolvers my 2 favs are snub nose NMA w/conversion to .45 LC and * inch NMA also converted they pack a lot of power and accuracy
Yep. They are as deadly today as they were 150 years ago!
A day without HR reviewing a cool gun is like a day without sunshine.
Tell me about it!
I have had my Steyr L9-A2 since August 2020 (Approximately one year now) and have only put 650 rounds through it. I have had four failures to extract and I have found that when I load it to full capacity, chambering a round then loading a full mag in it will occasionally make the slide go slightly out of battery causing the firearm not to fire. That might just be the case with mine, but it is something to consider if you own one. I have owned my Steyr M9-A1 for over four years now and have over 3200 rounds through it with 0 malfunctions. My Steyr AUG M3 A1 has over 2600 rounds through it with 0 malfunctions.
I’ve probably got about 250 rounds through my M9 A2. So far, it’s functioned flawlessly. Moreover, I haven’t cleaned it since I started shooting it, and I’ve taken to carrying it when I do outdoor work around my house (intentionally subjecting it to dust, sweat, and the occasional bump and ding). I’m trying to find out just how long I can neglect it before it chokes. So far, it hasn’t missed a beat.
Speedloader. I need one for it. What kind?????
@@joebidens_touchyhands9477 if you mean a magazine, I would recommend contacting Steyr.
@@hrfunk I found a magazine on Atlantic Firearms. I'm talking about a SPEEDLOADER. To load the bullets in quickly without screwing up my fingers.
I've liked MOST of the Steyr pistols I've had the opportunity to handle over the years... the sole exception being that 19-shot monstrosity they offered in the late 80's, which had a grip configuration like a 2x4! Unfortunately for me, I haven't had the chance to try out the M9 A2 MF, as it's 4" barrel leaves it Prohibited under Canadian law.
I really do get a chuckle out of foreign manufacturers' model designations, though. No American company would dream of designating their pistol the MF... at least, unless it was a Samuel L. Jackson Limited Edition!
Yeah, I think they should have thought a little longer before they decided to add "MF" to the moniker. The good news for you is they also produce a 4.5" L9 A2 MF. You might be able to find one of them in your neck of the woods. Good luck!
@@hrfunk I will definitely look into that. Our gun stores here should be reopening for business soon, and I'll have to see if my local shop has one in that I can have a look at.
I had the chance of getting one last week. :) Very cool and it shoots great!
Good! How do you like it in general?
@@hrfunk … Hey, man! :)
I loved the sights. I thought I was gonna have trouble getting used to it…nope; Great trigger; low recoil; and above all: the gun is really fun to shoot. My wife really liked it too. :)
A really excellent review, HR, and much appreciated. I have zero Steyr shorting experience, but it certainly looks like a well designed, high quality and carefully thought-through autoloader. I have looked at Steyr “pyramid” sights before - I am NOT suggesting they are inferior in any way - but I suspect they’d take some time and practice for me to become acclimated to them. I’d also strongly agree with your “optics ready” criticism; given the current state of autoloader designs, this seems like a “no brainer” to me, whether or not an individual chooses to use them. Thanks, again.
You’re welcome Roy. For me, at least, the sights were pretty easy to acclimate myself to. The Glock grip angle is giving me more trouble than the sights, but that is just a training issue. More trigger time should cure me (if I can find reasonably priced 9mm ammo.)
@@hrfunk
I know there’s no answer to this, but I own two Glocks (a 23C and a 36), and my accuracy with each is decidedly subpar (due to the ergonomics). Now, I’m sure we’d both acknowledge that’s not Glock’s problem - after all, there are millions who love the overall design - but ours. Still, accuracy is essential and fundamental, I can attain it with many semiautomatics, but not with Glocks, so that’s MY answer to the question.
I don’t know if this has ever been studied (probably not) but I suspect a shooters affinity, or lack thereof, for a particular grip (angle, profile, circumference, etc.) is linked to the pistol with which they learned to shoot. For me, that would be the 1911A1. Pistols that more or less replicate the form of the 1911 (like the S&W M&P for example) tend to point quite naturally for me, and I recover from recoil more quickly for follow-up shots. Had I cut my shooting teeth on a Luger, I might really like the Glock pistols.
@@hrfunk
I wholeheartedly agree, HR. For decades, I was a Smith double action revolver guy (it’s what the Bureau used and, therefore, what my dad employed to instruct me back in the 1950’s and 1960’s). In fact, the first sidearm I ever bought (and I still lobe it) ways a five inch barrel S&W M27 (my welcome home present in the early1970’s from a miserable 18 month overseas assignment). Until the late-1980’s the only autoloaders I had any real experience with were 1911-A1s and a Browning Hi-Power. I next purchased a G23C (like you, the .40 S&W cartridge seemed like an optimized load to me), and I hated it (although it was unfailingly reliable and durable). So, I agree with your thesis concerning the ergonomics (perhaps, mussel memory) of what we first used having a long-term effect on what we find “comfortable.” And, fwiw, I bought a 9x19mm Smith, 4.25 inch barrel, M&P a good many years ago, and found out to be very satisfactory; accordingly, it’s not a polymer frame and a striker action that’s MY problem.
evening hr i had the m9-a2-cf for awhile only complaint, 2 of them, could not find a dedicated holster for ccw for it and i could not get used to the sights for rapid shots kept shooting high. but other than that i thought it was an very nice pistol , and in my opinion it put the other austrian made pistol to shame
Really liked your thorough review beginning to end. You have an eye for detail.The quality looks great and it shoots good. It also looks expensive? You are right 3mags should be included to make the package complete. Thank you for another Excellent video as always.Semper Fi
Semper Fi Brian! Thanks for watching!
Also Excellent shooting from 25yrds!
Thanks Brian.
That is a nice gun! Very Euro Cop looking. I will have to handle one if I ever see it in the shops around here.
If you do, be sure to let me know what you think of it.
Growing up, I always shot with a 6 a clock hold. Lot's of newer pistol now are center hold and it's taking me sometime to adjust.
Hate that I missed Zoom call. I had to assist my wife with a client. I hope to catch the next one.
I got your email. No problem, I know how those things go (I have to help my wife with a client every now and then). I'll schedule another one in the future.
I saw a lot of Steyrs when visiting Georgia ( Caucasian republic) as well as Estonia ( Baltic state). They sold way more Steyrs than Glocks. I like the pistol, it is well above average. As far as Mannlicher goes it is advisable to learn original German pronunciation, it in no way implies any questionable connotation! Also as always thank You very much for Your review!
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching!
I was looking at these as a possible addition and there are three things that, for me, could be different. Decreased grip angle, not so much slide hanging back over the shooting hand and the deactivation key assembly. I figured though that the gun is of high quality and would be a good range toy.
You should give one a try and see what you think
Of it.
@@hrfunk LOL yeah but it's on the list with several others including the new M&P with the aluminum frame which costs a lot more. Ah to be a rich guy...
That smile at the end of cuts.. just hilarious! 😉
interesting pistol.. like your vids!
Thank you!
Chief, Again another great video and I think this a nice pistol as well, not a fan of Glock either and the Steyr looks to be something I would purchase. Thank you so much for another great video.
You’re welcome Travis!
I have found the Winchester Active Duty M1152 115 grain ball flat point shoots point of aim point of impact at 5 meters to 25 meters . It's a little hot but my XDM Pistol and my Ruger Carbine PC 9 loves it .Out of the Ruger carbine at 150 Yards I put down a few Hogs & Coyotes with no problems. The Flat Point hits hard and penetrants Deep . This is the same ammo the US Military is using now they switched from 124 grain round nose ball to 115 grain flat point with the Winchester Active duty M1152 Military Ball flat point.Like most military ammo its a little Hot. +P+.
=
I'm aware that ammo exists, but I don't think I've ever seen any for sale. Hopefully there will be some of it on the shelves in my area soon.
Nice gun, good shooting. Thanks for including the sight correction and not making us wait. Is the adjustment tool included or did you have to find a metric hex wrench?
Interestingly, the one that fit tightest was an SAE wrench. I can’t tell you the exact size because it wasn’t marked on the combo tool I was using.
Your bullet will hit where the top of the triangular sight is on the target. Don't tilt the sights down to adjust for the grip angle. Very accurate.😮
HR I enjoy your reviews and insights and I also seem to gravitate to some of the more interesting or unusual designs. Did you ever shoot the Steyr GB and if so what was your impression? Have you considered changing out the back strap to see if it changes your grip on a good way?
I never shot a GB, so I can't comment on them. So far, I haven't changed the grip configuration on the M9. It comes from the factory with the small backstrap and grip panels installed. I think going to the larger options would just exacerbate the pointing Issues I'm having with it. Instead, I'm going to keep working with it "as is" and see if things improve with time and familiarity.
It looks made specifically for a duty gun. I shot my buddies and it was a good shooter. Given the length of the stock(grip) and magazine extension it is going to print more than other choices. Good looking gun, I bet Milt Spark will make a holster for it.
I wonder if you can get a flat mag base plate. I would give up a little capacity for less printing in at least one mag.
Plastic Sigs are notorious for out of whack sights,there is no excuse for that,Polymer guns seem to just be rushed out the door,I only carry or in the future buy steel or alloy frame.
Yes, this is kind of a pet peeve of mine too. Make sure the sights are centered for crying out loud.
I've handled, but never fired, the original version. Didn't know they updated it. Thanks for the high quality (as always) review. One thing you didn't mention; What does "MF" stand for?
Modular Frame. It’s a reference to the removable chassis and redesigned grip.
Had the S40 years ago. Great sights and accuracy but the grip angle was too much. Wish we could get this new pistol in California.
It should have a loaded indicator at the back also. A pin protruding which can be felt.
This model does not have that feature. I mentioned that fact in the video.
My 2020 made L9 a2 has the LCI pin. It may be that it’s only found on the long slide model.
Hmm. Well, maybe so. All I know for sure is that mine doesn’t have it.
I have the C9-A2 MF and the exact same thing happened. The rear sight was drifted left from the factory. Burned 150 rounds before feeling the rear sight and how proud it was on the left edge. With such a short sight radius I was printing 3 inches left at 7 yards. So far, this is the third time I have heard sights were left of correct from the factory. I was a little let down. Also, the trapezoidal sights were impossible to shoot at night.
At least mine were easy to drift back to the proper location.
I own a Scout in .223, odd looking but excellent ergonomics one of my favorite rifles, Steyr gets the ergo correct
I am really interested in the Scout. I remember when Col. Cooper was writing about it. How does yours shoot?
@@hrfunk Balances well, shoots up to my standards of around the MOA mark and for such a thin barrel the POI does not shift much if any that I notice. The only mods I have made is the addition of quick detach attachment points versus the Steyr oddball sling attachment devices. I got mine out of an estate sale for a low price, one of those GunBroker unicorn deals
Thanks. I hope I get the chance to try one out someday. Do you have a Scout Scope on yours?
@@hrfunk No sir I don't see much benefit to a Scout scope run a regular 2-7 Leupold of the inexpensive variety. And I have run a Vortex RDS on it and if you don't need magnification it is quite the handy rig. I bought the .223 version because I like to practice a lot and I am not much for recoil. If I had bought this before I bought my Weatherby Accumark in .308 for deer I might have went out and bought the .308 version, and this is heresy for me since I am a Weatherby snob, practically since birth.
I’m in the same camp when it comes to the Scout scope set up. I prefer a conventionally mounted optic. Thanks for the info!
Once you get used to the Trap sights, you will never go back to dots. Just like a Chevron on an RDS.
The more I shoot, this pistol, the more I like it. I tell people it's the Austrian handgun, the world SHOULD know about.
Agreed
I kinda of like the sights. Bet it be better if the front was Ameriglo front orange outer with green center tritium
Sights are zeroed good that’s why
Excellent mature review. I guess we see why the old traditional test fire target is not included in the box🎯.
HR , enjoy your retirement👍🇺🇲
Thank you!
Well just got my hands on one today I had been researching and in the market for one for a couple years I intend to make this a staple in my carry rotation after a little testing I'm pleased with how it feels in the hand and the sights at least for me seem to have very solid pickup I like the compact and ergonomic design my home defense pistol is a glock 21 with tritium sights and a weapons light onboard I would consider a weapons light on the small real estate provided here and would absolutely like any input you might have on where to procure a quality holster for these perhaps if we all petition Vedder to offer one they will produce something exceptional in kydex.
Double-Click Holsters is one of the few options out there. I’m probably going to get one of them for my pistol. Here’s a link to their site: www.doubleclickholsters.com/shop/owb-holster/safecarry-ranger/
Check out smart carry hosters
nice review. It seems like the Steyr is under rated.
I think "unknown" is more accurate than "underrated".
@@hrfunk True!
Sign of the times! 50 rounds is what 1000 used to be for reliability. Damn ammo shortage
Tell me about it!
Perhaps a Sign of Hope:
They had 1 box of S&B .45 ACP left at the range for $23.99.
In 1986 the Dade county shooting in Florida . One fbi agent had to shoot a pump action shotgun with one hand . It's one of those just Incase things .
Brother Funk I found one new. But L9 A2 MF. Got it to the range and shot it with 100 round pack of 115 grain FMJ Browning ammo. Then 50 rounds of 124 grain Federal Hydra Shock which I have had in my safe for sometime. It fit my hand most excellent. Trigger I thought was very good. Sights at first were hard to get use to but did and weirdly I like them. Especially fast shooting. Very accurate. Flat shooting. Bearly a muzzle rise recoil. We the people holsters had a holster. It on the way. Cytac for duty carry. Trying to find extra mag. Any suggestions. This is a keeper for me. Great review. God bless
PNC/E7 USN RETIRED
These things are hidden gems in the handgun world. The only downside is the lack of support. I think the only source for magazines is Steyr. I haven’t checked their website lately, but I haven’t been able to order an additional mag yet.
I just bought two magazines from their website. On sale too!
I would love to see a metal frame or aluminum frame for it.
I somehow doubt either version will appear in the near future. Plastic guns are all the rage these days.
a local shop got a bunch of these & I literally refused to handle one...woulda been too tempting & I would have to sell/trade a few beloved items to offset the $569 the shop was charging; settled on a Ruger Security 9 for $389 at a different shop & I was able to part with a redundant firearm to offset the cost...
I hope the Ruger served you well for a long time!
That's a good price too. I just picked up one from Gunprime for $566
Thanx for all the good info... I get my M9 A2 in a week just wondering if you had any recommendations on good range ammo don't know how picky the M9 A2 is
So far I have about 100 rounds of assorted ammo through mine and I haven’t found anything it won’t shoot ye.
Yes sir Thank you for your time that makes thing's alittle easier for me... the rear sights being slightly off is definitely something I'll have to take a look at also when I received mine
also Love the shirt
Would you say the grip length without a mag in it is Glock 19 length ? I’ve been thinking of getting one but I want to carry it so I’ve been think of just using the older mags that aren’t extended
I think the grips is a bit longer, but it holds a 17 round magazine.
The “C” series is closer to the Glock 19 in grip size.
Tried using the gun direct targeting no using sights, like in real combat situation...no time to pick up and target....25 meters distance....nailing 8/10 in body target.....just because of the grip angle the gun is "extention" of the hand...
The scallops where your thumb was resting is actually where the safety activation levers are on the 1st gen.( kind of looked like glock take down levers). Why they are on the latest generation with no safety, I don’t know.
Nor do I, but they work well for the purpose I mentioned.
Oh..my..great day..🤠🤠🤠
