Stopped in a local shop last week and noticed a used P10C. Checked it out and the thing looked brand new. Couldn't have been more than a mag or two thru it. Talked them down slightly below $400 so I grabbed it. I mainly bought the P10C because I already have a P-07 that came with mags that will work in the P10C.
While I was there, they also had a Steyr M9A1. I asked to see it and was amazed at how it felt. Not knowing anything about them, I started to do some research. Reviews looked good so I start looking around. As luck would have it I found one, never fired, 3 mags instead of two and the guy had an IWB holster for it. I couldn't pass it up so I bought it.
Finally got them out to the desert today. Took my P-07, G19, Steyr M9A1, and P10C to compare them all.
I was absolutely amazed by the Steyr. I really didn't expect to like it much but I love it. It was the softest shooting of all of them. Ran thru about 500-600rds between them but mainly focused on the Steyr and P10C. No failures of any kind out of any of them. The P10C was ok, but didn't really impress me like the Steyr. I did have to knock down the front and rear grip texture on the P10C prior to shooting as it was a bit sharp for me.
I didn't even mind the funky sights on the Steyr and actually did well with them. I'm not going to replace them.
If you get a chance to shoot a Steyr, go for it. I now have to pick up other sizes as well.
