Got me an MA1

[TED]

Just bought an MA1 in 9mm. So far (haven't shot it yet), I am tremedously impressed.

What an overlooked and under rated gun.

BTW, there was a customer at GNG that bought one that failed in 5 or six rounds. They finally refunded the dude, I think Yogg will remember.:dunno:

I shot it last night. I do not have any pics.

It was great. I really loved that thing. It felt like it had less reocil than other guns and the split times were AWESOME. I could shoot doubles like it was a select fire with 2 round burst. What a great gun. Vert under rated and under appreciated.

It was relaible, accurate, fast, and had less recoil and anicer grip than average.

What's the difference in the m9 and the ma1 again?

[TED]

Minor chagnes in the grip, big change in the accessory rail (was proprietary, now standard (same as Glock, etc.), that is pretty much it.

Same here. My new M9-A1 arrived yesterday and I cleaned it up and am letting it marinate for 36 hours when I hope to take it to a Conservation Area range near where I'll be this weekend. Born October 2005.

I recently bought a small CCW 9mm but I couldn't pass up the price for the Steyr --- a tad less than $350. Bottom line less than $375 all costs covered. If it shoots as well and is as reliable as Steyr owners say it is it will be one hell of a great deal.

Is it okay to shoot +P ammo in this gun? I'm pretty sure it can take a steady diet of anything but the manual that came with it is pretty sparse on information. All I'm planning to shoot during the break-in period is 115-grain WWB FMJ and some Remington green box 115-grain JHP.

It will eat whatever you feed it. +P or regular. I'm not sure if the M9s suffer from the same problem my M40-A1 did but you should keep an eye out for it just in case. If the extractor has trouble ejecting rounds every once in a while, send it SAI in Georgia and they'll replace the extractor for free if you don't know how to replace it yourself.

Went to the CA, shot 100 rounds of 115-grain WWB and everything went perfectly. The only glitch I encountered was the slide failed to lock back after the last round of one magazine.

With the very first shot I felt the Steyr is one hell of a substantial pistol. Can't wait to get another 200+ rounds through it. Both magazines were used and performed as designed.

It appears that I did indeed grab a great value in a rare opportunity. In my opinion this pistol is going way up in price once CDNN sells out their stock. Sheesh, most dealers already are charging at least $100 or $200 more than CDNN for the M-A1 pistols.

I bet it looks something like this.
I like mine alot, best bang for the buck.

Probably the biggest difference from M9 to M9-A1 is the lack of a safety on the A1. The M9 is my CCW (having replaced 17L, 19, and 26 as carry pieces).
