Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By triburst1: And that would be a drop in fit for an RMR? He does both rmr cuts and holosun cuts (rmsc). If I could just have done a acro cut I would have, but I can’t find anyone to do that. So this is a rmr to acro plate from KE arms. I do have a shorter one I plan to swap it out for, but haven’t done it yet. He will do rmr cuts, however he will give a disclaimer that it will not be as low as a holosun cut. Only other option is Wright armory will do a HK sled on a Steyr (I’ve never done this) with the comment the iron sights may not line up. There is a third possibility which is if L&M ever comes out of retirement, which there is a chance, however small, then I would also reccoemnd them as he cut my A1s and they are awesome. I just at that time was using leupold deltapoints. |

Picked up an ANR Designs holster for the C9A2. Pretty happy with it. Pre-cut for an optic, if that ever manifests. Anybody make a flush, or less-extended floor plate for the magazine?

No flush plates except the older Steyr magazines. Nice holster, is AnR making them now or was it a custom run? if you ever do it there are three places you can do a optics cut on one.

To those who are carrying the new A2, the grip is fairly aggressive. Is it tearing up your undershirts/shirts?
Is Steyr planning on selling slides/barrels? I bought the .40 barrel for my .357A1 and it was quite expensive. What’s the price supposed to be fit the pistol uppers? |

The grip texture doesn't cause me any issues, but the extended floor plate makes it print like crazy on me. I'd lose a couple rounds for a flush magazine. They have a few barrels listed, but only 9mm and for $300. Steyr USA seems pretty dead, tbh. |

I wish I could get the A2 MF grip texture on my A1. I don’t like the other changes to the frame but the A1 is way too slick.
The ideal combination for an A3 version would be the A2 MF grip with the A1 rail and trigger guard, optics ready slide with RMR footprint, suppress lot height trapezoidal sights and a threaded barrel. |

Awesome, the main reason I ask is the rmr pattern tends to not be able to be done as deep as the holosun options. At least that is what fabricated arms told me. L&M I know used a specialized Steyr plate for optics, but I never knew the full reason behind its use other than he required it for the project. |

I'm guessing theres an issue internally where you'd hit something? Not a lot of meat on the slide and you will pop into the loaded chamber indicator but the real problem is the extractor. however it isn’t an issue unless you want to keep the rear sight. If you go rear it won’t be a problem to cut low, but Steyr sights are long. If you move forward you start to remove slide around the extractor. |

He apologized that it's taking so long, but basically came to the conclusion that the 509 isn't going to work, just cuts too deeply. Reminded him them that I'd go K or RMR and he said he'll look at it again tomorrow and get it done. Said he'd send pics when it's cut/dlc.

Update on the holsters, the frame selection is indeed Short C9A2, medium M9A2, long L9A2. So even though it says M9A2 looks like the whole family is included. I ordered a level 2 OWB L9A2 and a IWB C9A2. Will update when it comes in, but this might take the place of black trident on the gun belt. I did want to do a level 2, but haven’t seen one that supports Steyr outside of the universal ones. Problem with those is they allow rocks and debris to run against the gun and possibly get in while laying prone. Altough I did buy a hush for use with a suppressor, it has the same concerns.

Wanted to update on the holsters, got some in. The compact went with a tlr7 and the level 2 went with a tlr1. Plan to get out shooting next week and try them out. The iwb has good retention, the level 2 feels solid and the spring feels good. These are the ready to ship from shadow defensive.

Ok, finally got the slide back from Impact Machine. The cut is deep, and fits the 508T perfectly. There's not much metal left above the extractor though, so hopefully the optic makes up for it. Kept the rear sight.

Shit man, I’m sorry to hear that. I wonder if the optic can be modified slightly to allow for the extractor to have full movement. Or if a plate with an optic on top would fix the issue.Mine removed the rear dove tail on my L&M cut. I know he said that due to internals he did have to make a plate for the Steyr pistols and I would lose the loaded chamber indicator. That cut looks really deep which is generally good but the removal around the extractor seems excessive. If you have a measurement on the holosun in I can also give you the difference for a rmr, which may fix the issue as well.

They responded to my text and email right away, saying in the past they've relieved the extractor a bit to make it work, and that it must've been missed. Sent a prepaid label to send it back. I'm a little concerned about extractor modification and breakage, but perhaps that's unfounded. I'll keep it updated.

That is good they are dealing with it quickly. It’s hard to say on issues with the extractor, the A2 model redesigned the extractor. One of the A1 issues was weak ejection that would eject the round reliably but put the casing on your hat frequently. The new extractor was designed to do three things, 1 not impact the frame on rearward movement, 2 get a better grip, 3 redesigned the shape to increase reliability and stop the spring from causing issues. If they are talking they do this on a A2 that is probably an unknown with how new they are and few get an optics cut. I would be interested to see how they do it.  Attached File |

Separate update, the reason the rear dove tail isnt removed without a new plate installed is it exposes a bearing for the striker assembly.

Slide arrived just now. Looks like the top of the extractor was shaved down some. Hand cycles snap caps just fine. Will try to shoot later today. I'll be happy if it works, but not sure I'd pick this particular route again.
