I have strayed, ran across a deal on an HK VP9 and I couldn’t resist.

Nothing wrong with that. My wife shoots primarily a 1911 or a vp9. She prefers a 1911, but her instructor shoots a vp9 so she is a fan. Vp9 is a good option and feels good in the hand, although mine is older and not a optics cut version.

As far as I have seen the vp9 has been a good gun. Haven’t run it hard in matches yet but haven’t seen anything to concern me. Then again the only pistol I have seen that ever truly failed hard was a p320. Buddy says it was a fluke, but worries me as it took awhile to remedy it with where the rock got stuck. Also concerns me on the general openness of the omnivore holster. I have run a usp a few times when using the g36k clone without issue.

FYI, V1 shows 8 M9A2 in stock if anyone is looking for one. I'd grab one if I had the cash right now.

My LGS had a used L9-A2 MF in it's rack for what I thought was a decent price, and I love hipster guns, so I took it home
 Previous owner never cleaned apparently...to be fair it also doesn't look like they put any appreciable number of rounds though it; maybe a hundred or so, max, judging by the carbon under the extractor and on the barrel ramp. Hopefully I can get it to the range soon and try it out. Is it normal for these things to have a very soft and non-tactile reset? I'd compare it to a BHP reset, but the BHP actually feels better Not a big deal either way; I don't shoot and wait for the reset before pressing again, but it's a little weird these days to have a reset like that.Also, what do these things come with from the factory normally? Mine came with one mag, two keys for the lock, one large backstrap (I'm assuming large? Certainly fatter than the one that was installed on it)...and that's it. There's a bunch more cutouts in the foam (like for a cleaning rod, etc), but everything was unpopulated/empty in the foam...reading online there's allusions to grip panels and etc as well, none of which came with my example. Am I missing a bunch of crap, or did Steyr stop sending that stuff out with new guns? Also, no label on the hard case...it looks like there's "03/2021" on the barrel and on the frame chassis, so apparently fairly recent manufacture. |

So two holes on top are blank and there is a spot to remove padding so a light can fit.

"box with small lock and key"? Oh OH for locking the hard case, I gotcha (or pistol lock, or whatever)...yeah, none of that. Mine does have two serial numbers on the right side, one in the fire control module and the other I think in the grip, so I guess it would only come with two mags total per your description. If that's all the case, the guy who had it before me walked off with two grip panels, one of the back straps, the cleaning rod, manual, and other docs. Annoyingly I wear XL-sized gloves, so I actually want the L panels all around I took it out to the range today, only put around 85 or so rounds through it, but I actually really liked it; your hands are NOT moving around on it unless you cover your hands in grease and limp wrist it, and even then I'm not sure it would move around too much...I just wish I had the L panels on it to fit me better. I've already pinged Steyr about picking up replacements. The sights, however...oof. I'm not sure I like them...the fact you need to have the front sort of triangle protrude/"snap" into the rear sights is kind of slow, to me I didn't have too many problems keeping it all on a 3x5 card at 30 feet or so, but it was by no means quick. Not compared to the P226 or 1911 I was also practicing with at the range this morning. I was really struggling to keep things moving at speed...but, maybe it's just a practice thing.All in all, it's pretty neat. I don't think I wasted my money on it. If I make any changes, it'll probably be to the sights...but I think I'll play around with it some more before I commit to that. |

Assuming it takes the same sights as the A1 series! truGlo are the only aftermarket sights I’m aware of. I had a set put on an M9A1 and really like them. Now I need two more sets for a second M9A1 and a C9A1.
Still looking for a shop to mill the slide for an RMR. |

I have 3 A2 and leave the smaller grips on the C9A2. Lock is just a tiny lock for cases not really for a breach lock. Trijicon makes some standard 3 post night sights. All the A1 series sights work for the A2. Only other gun I really shoot much anymore is my 226 as well. Seems in faster with the steyr but more precise with the 226 although bit by much either way. |

I have a A1 with a optics cut and was going to take that and a A2 to Wright armory in Mesa Arizona since they are the only place that said they could do it. Just been waiting to find another A2 to do the work on just in case there is an issue I don’t want to lose my only A2, especially since it’s one of the few single serialized A2s. If you need me to drop it off there let me know and they can use it for reference but i plan to drop mine when I find another a2 |

Over in the HK thread there is a link to a optics ready slide for 300 that might fit the bill and still a few of the optics ready long slides floating around. If you do sell a L9A2 let me know, I’m looking for one to do a optics cut and see if it works or if I killed a slide |

But I can get my existing slide milled for considerably less. I have two M9A1 and one C9A1, one of the M9A1s has night sights, and I have a set to install on the other. The C9A1 I haven't fired yet, and won't be able to for a while yet. (shoulder surgery) |

Nice find, I do like HK and as for another polymer pistol I like the vp9. It’s a good gun and if my wife ever gets into the red dots I’ll probably get another. Although if I wasn’t shooting the steyr I would be back with the 226/228. let me know if you do put them up on the EE. Although I’m pretty good about searching for steyr and Daewoo gear frequently on here. On a side note apparently someone in the tsa likes steyr. Saw this in Hawaii

Picked up an M9-A2 MF today from a local gun shop for $299. Took it home and cleaned it up, appears to be almost brand new. I don't know much about it other than I am not a fan of the triangle sights. What else do I need to know about it? Any common issues? Shot pretty well for me, I was impressed

Shot pretty well for me, I was impressed I've only put a couple hundred rounds through mine so far so I'm still not sold on the sights I need to try them out some more with live fire before I decide I love or hate them...I haven't run into anything else really, issues wise? One thing I did alter was for my XL hands, it's better if I have the right panel be the large panel but the left panel be the normal/flat panel. Otherwise it really crunches up my fingers with a two handed hold. A flat panel on the left side seems to fix that issue really well. I just need to find a decent holster for it now.. |

I don't know much about it other than I am not a fan of the triangle sights. What else do I need to know about it? Any common issues? Shot pretty well for me, I was impressed Awesome find, best I’ve seen was 475 before the crazy now it’s 550 or more. Triangle sights can be changed. A1 and A2 are the same so trijicon nights sights with three dot are available. Very hard to find a optics cut location but can be done. Mags are easy to find online and big daddy tends to always have some. A1 mags fit into the A2. A1 slides with go onto the A2 but the A2 has a upgraded extractor / frame changes to stop it from breaking when it impacts on the frame so stick with A2 if you can although there are A1 slides floating around from L&M that are pretty good. negatives here 1 people are reporting the ejection still flips them onto your hat. Mine has been good with thousands of round down but I’ve heard it’s an issue from some so check and wear eye pro just in case yours has an issue. 2 no aftermarket support. A1 holsters won’t work well due to the rail change. Double click makes them for it and they are good to go. Also black trident makes some but they are expensive since they are from Austria. Ranger is done making gear but you can still get some of their weights and there are steel guide rods still being made from them. Optics cuts are a pita but there are some sources. 3 if it’s used you might not have the grip inserts but Steyr will give you some. Be carful if you the recoil reducing springs as they don’t like 115 4 low tactile and audible reset. Train and it’s no issue. |

I was wondering if the sights were interchangeable so thats good to know. I actually did have some cases eject straight back over my head which was... interesting. I read good things about Steyr's customer service so ill be sure to hit them up if I need anything but it came with all the grip inserts. |

I edc a C9A2 and with competitions use the L9A2. M9A2 is bedside. Now the A1 had some issues but they fixed all but one for the A2 which for me was optics ready. If you get a A1 you may try the extractor spring fix and file down the striking point in the frame where the edge of the extractor hits as well as add talon grips. Main downside is the same with all Steyr products is they don’t advertise and so after market parts are hard to find. Ejection is the only thing I would watch for with a A2. |

Any problems with the lock thinger?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By meistermash: Any problems with the lock thinger? If so, can that be disabled? Never had a issue. Have 7 Steyr pistols with the lock. Never had a problem with it. As for removing it I am going to say probably not and if you did having a hole in the side of the gun isn’t a great idea especially in that location. The lock acts as a push button retention lock for the locking lever as well as a turning physical lock for the pistol. I am really not sure how many thousands of rounds I have used through all my Steyr Pistols but one I decided to stop cleaning my L9A1 three thousand or so rounds ago and haven’t had a issue. It’s dirty as hell but still functions. I haven’t heard of it ever being an issue either so it’s good to go. I will add when actually turning the lock on its kinda if a pain in the ass and I can’t see it doing it accidentally under any conditions. |

Think we'll ever see a factory optic cut? My Steyrs are still my favorite, but wanting to scratch that optic itch on my C9A2. Steyr really seems to still be behind on accessories as well. Hasn't been a threaded barrel in stock for a long time. Forget about any of their other firearm lines (SM12).

When speaking to Steyr I was told it will be on the next generation. However Steyr is working on pistol slide sales now with no eta they are willing to disclose. So yes eventually but as usual no public eta. |

I picked up one of the WeThePeople holsters for my L9A2 and while I haven't tried it at the range just messing with it at home I am pretty disappointed. Seems very flimsy compared to my other kydex holsters and uses a proprietary belt interface that sucks.

If you want a ready to order I would do double click holsters. If you want a custom one I would do we plead the 2nd. I’ve had my fair share of shitty holsters. Bought a alien gear for a usp 45 since shipping was fast and wanted it for a trip coming up. Huge mistake, very flimsy and the clips would fall off way to easy under hard use. If I have the time I often do a we please the 2nd m. Since I like their designs and they are local, but a ready to go Steyr holster is really black trident or double click. Just a fyi if you need sotmhing custom you can email double click and they will do stuff like sarfsriland fork

I can’t wait to buy one of the new OD A2 grips and throw my A1 parts on it. Hopefully they release them for sale soon.

Depends on parts, the slides work on each other. Although if you get a A2 I’m not sure why you would keep much A1 parts on it unless you milled a slide. The A2 grip is a huge improvement and the changes to the A2 slide especially the extractor are very welcomed. Not sure you wouldn’t just keep both unless you had a slide milled you wanted to run.
For the SN, A1 are on the grip, Early L9A2 are just chassis, later L9A2 and all M9A2 and C9A2 are on both. According to Steyr this was done to appease different markets and the chassis system is still the serialized part with the atf. |

Fabricated arms came in. The rmr mount I have is a bit high but not that high when compared to the deltapoint any way. Gonna take it to the range tomorrow

Now I just need to pick up a L9-A2, and drop a L40 slide with a .357Sig barrel onto it.  Time to experiment, and see if I shoot better with an A1 or A2 grip.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Justaturnkey: Does Steyr still make the S model? I can't find any information. As said above, the S9 is done for now. It didn’t make it to the A2 line up and was dropped. You can find S9A1 for sale but no A2. Also the S9A1 was never redesigned after the ban so you are stuck with 10 rounds mags on a gun that should at least be 12 if not more. No one has made a way to remove the plug and replace it. Many started to use the C9 mags with a cover but then there is no point to the S9A1 as you now have a C9. Really the S9A1 could never compete well with the hellcat, ruger, or 365 so I think they will kill it off until they redesign. Mostly do to size, balance, and capacity. Main problem is to make it Competitive they would need to redesign it to the point it would lose compatibility with the A2 line up so I think they are done with it for now since civilian sales have rarely been the motivating factor for Steyr. Honestly I have one but there are better options out there and for a small grip size change you can get the C9A2 with 17 rounds. Also while I like my A1 guns, the upgrades on the A2 especially on the grips and extractor are well worth it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By triburst1: Pics? Price? Pics are a few posts above. It’s the acro one. The acro conversion plate is rather large in the picture since the ke arms one for some reason is very high, almost 2-3 times the other I got, but I haven’t installed the lower fitting one yet. It’s 100 for the cut but I also did the predator slide cut so total was 300 for me.  Attached File |
