Steyr pistols are much more subject to maintenance than the Glocks. Many claims that the extraction and empty shell throwing to the shooter's head problems are solved, but between the three Steyr M9A1 pistols around my neighbourhood, I observe the opposite. The Steyr triggers are too much stiff and they never progress by shooting. But sorry, in a such kind of shooting system, it is not my cup of tea. They also claim that the sear to striker nose contact depth is much more than the slide to frame rail tolerances and it is impossible for the sear to let the striker move forward accidently unless the trigger is pulled. Steyr claims that the partially cocked striker does have sufficient amount of energy to ignite the primer even if it accidently falls. If it will be a carry pistol, you must consider that the Steyrs do not have a firing pin block safety system.
