    Once you get used to the distance of the reset it becomes a non issue. Same goes for the grip angle and the trap sights. They are truly excellent pistols. Nice review.

    Thanks for going in-depth with this gun. I really enjoy your various tests and the way you give a great overall picture of the strengths and weaknesses of the gun. I have the M9-A2 and I love it. I wish it got more love. Fingers crossed Steyr will soon offer an optics-ready slide and make the different frames available (after all, it's supposed to be the 'original' modular design). Keep up the great content!

    Just an FYI, I had the same problem of hitting to the left with my brand new M9 A2 MF. When I looked closely at the rear sight, I noticed it was slightly too far left in its dovetail. I drifted it to the right (and basically centered it on the slide) and that cured the problem. If you’re interested, here’s my review. Skip to the end to see the performance after the sight correction: Steyr M9 A2 MF Review and Range Test

    BEST gun reviews on the RUclips! Your lack of macho posery is SO refreshing! And I am SO lucky that my first handguns were double-action revolvers: I never even knew that "reset" was a thing! My index fingers simply learned to go all the way forward for the next trigger pull, never expecting the trigger to push my finger forward. I was never trying to get the FASTEST next shot off, or worrying WHERE the reset was; I was just trying for the smoothest trigger pull from finger all the way forward. And I shoot semiautos the same way, FORGETING about reset and automatically extending the finger all the way for each shot. Try it? By the way, I am SO HAPPY that Steyr handguns are finally getting the attention they deserve! I bought my M9 back around 2005, and still can't find anything I want more....................elsullo

    I'm glad you mentioned the reset because I picked this up to dry fire it at the store the other day, and I wasn't sure about the reset of the trigger. It wasn't tactile at all, but the gun felt so good in my hands. I can't remember which back strap was on there, but I'm thinking it was small because the handgun felt a little top heavy. I haven't shot it yet, but I will soon. Nice review.

      Thanks, as with any firearm it's just a matter of spending enough time with it to get good at it. Some folks really want to feel reset, this gun would not be good for them, but if you can do without it this is a great gun.

      The price and simpler design were the deciding factors for me.
      I wonder as a man who has both, would you purchase the CZ SP01 again, knowing what you do now?
      I ask because I still kinda want an SP01-Tactical.

    Love the way my C9 A1 shoots! Yes, the trigger reset is soft but what I did was ignore trying to feel it and just let my finger fall out to the average reset point of my striker fired pistols. It works, but I haven’t tried anything super speedy yet.
    The grip angle is extreme but I don’t have the same trouble I had with my (happily departed) Glock 19. I think it may have to do with that forward “undercut” where the web of the hand goes. It makes you break the wrist forward and the angle gives an amazingly good and natural feeling place to rest the off hand over the strong hand (I hope that made sense).
    I like the gun but it may be going as I discovered the joy of the Polymer80 PFC9 yesterday. This is a terrific pistol at a reasonable price for people who don’t like Glocks with pretty awesome fit and finish that I think you two should look at, Graham. Seems to have almost as good a fit in the slide parts as my Agency but with a better, less mushy feeling trigger. It’s a Syndicate so it’s what you’d have to call “an entry level Agency” but it’s a terrific shooter. I’ll expect the P80 to shoot well but maybe not be quite as accurate.

  • @ruggedmeetsrefined5345

    The lack of discernible reset is endemic to a pistol with the trigger bar that rides below everything else whereas on most pistols, it rides above everything else. So I wonder if that prevents trigger bar from having the leverage on trigger shoe to give it a firm, discernible reset. It’s an awesome pistol though. Enough training and it will not be an issue.

    Ive owned G-19's Gens 3, 4 & 5...Have had 2 Steyr Gen 1's...1 with Trapezoidal sights & 1 with regular dot sights...I don't get hung up on "crisp reset" as much as others...up until the last 5 years, it wasn't every really as big a "thing" as it its seems it is now (in my opinion)...Just picked the olive green A2 & think its a masterpiece...The reset is felt enough where it doesn't effect me & the non audible reset is a moot point being that Im shooting with ear protection & if I weren't, my ears would be ringing like a bell anyway. Don't know if I could feel any reset with gloves but dont shoot with gloves so... One of the smoothest sweetest flattest shooting guns Ive ever owned.. Its def my go-to. Sights are acquired taste but I love em. Great Review guys!!!

You both have excellent understanding of your audience. It is great entertainment. However, the bird shot a bit low. I know it was aiming for the open chamber. How the heck do they do that while in flight? Wonder what "grain" ammo it was using?

    Quit complaining about the reset. You’re doing it WRONG! You should be resetting and prepping the trigger during recoil NOT once the gun has settled and you’ve reacquired your sight picture. Ask any competition shooter. If you did it the way I described you wouldn’t even notice the soft reset cuz during recoil you don’t feel the reset, it just happens.

    Yeah one of my good buddies has a C9-A2 MF that he let me hold on to for a few weeks. It is an impressively made pistol, very robust, and unique for a polymer striker fired 9mm. The trigger had a nice break, but it’s a bit too wishy-washy. I want a trigger that lets me know where it stands from the start. Also, as many people know Steyr sued Sig over patent infringement for their modular chassis system. I don’t think Steyr had a case; mainly because it appears they designed their chassis systems more for the assembly and engineering of the pistol, not the end user.
    The dust covers for the C, M, & L are all different lengths, so you would have to buy the corresponding slide to go with it. Aren’t all the same grip length and capacity? The least modular “modular framed” mfers I’ve ever seen. Also never saw Steyr really promoting the modularity on the A1 series. The A1 series was also priced more affordably than the A2. Granted, currently everything is more expensive.
    A Sig M357 A1 chambered in .357 Sig would be pretty sweet since the grip angle and mass of slide gives the shooter leverage to keep the pistol very flat. Think that would be most evident shooting calibers that have some oomph.

    Now the second comment... The trigger should not be a problem, and is beneficial in that it is making you operate how things would be normally in close combat. In actual combat situation, at pistol range, you will not feel the trigger reset; consciously at least. I never had issue with that; why is that I learned on double action S&W revolvers. You can develop a muscle memory for the right position with some precision to it.

    • @kimballscarr
      @kimballscarr 3 года назад

      To explain in detail with a double action you must pull the trigger right to the point before it breaks and hold a split second for both precise shooting and developing an instantly ready hold situation. This applies to modern pistols too when the gun is cocked you need to develop an ability to put pressure on the trigger right up to the point of the break, hold it for a split second while you get your aim, or give the bad guy warning. You might want to purchase a Mdl.19 - and a Mdl 27... or one of the French MR73... get a 5" barrel. Why is the trigger is really the best of any I have felt and it is half way in size between a Mdl.19 and 27. Then practice this rapid pull and hold, until you are good enough to bet Graham's life on it... never bet your own.
      Why is the muscle tension application in holding the pull or finishing the pull, in the trigger operation, means for less jerk of the gun and time response. It's like you finger is preprogramed to the pull movement
