    Digging the jazzed-up new Steyr MF pistol

    https://www.steyr-arms.com/us/firear...istol%20Launch

    I always liked the Steyr pistols, but the early ones had some teething troubles back when Steyr was in financial trouble. I look forward to shooting this one.

    I liked the gen2 or whatever has been out lately. In fact I handled their version of the G19X a year or two before Glock had theirs. I just can't justify yet another G19/17 size gun!

    Interesting. Same but different. Looks like they addressed one of the most common complaints, with new texturing on the frame. A lot of reviewers feel ithe original was a little slippery. I do however wish they would come out with Trap Night Sights.

    In a very crowded field, it will need something that really sets itself apart from the pack, or it will just be another good gun that languishes in obscurity.

    looks as though the line of bore is about as high as it can get.
    I would imagine it's very controllable, shoots flat.

    I see they've addressed something that kills me on Glocks (even though I carry one every day)... the trigger finger entry onto the trigger. Even a VP9 has my trigger finger rubbing excessively on the frame. The angle and clearance of this Steyr sure looks good.

    Agree. The polymer striker market just seems packed. Glock, Sig 320, FN 509, M&P, PPQ, VP9, APX, and now this.

    It's not trendy, but I'd actually like to see someone drive some action in the polymer carry-sized DA/SA market.

    I had one each of the Steyr M40 and M9 pistols. I loved them when they worked which, unfortunately, wasn't often. FTE's were common and I sent both back to Steyr several times with no joy. The .40 was very flat shooting for a lightweight .40. Could have been great but for me not so much. No thanks to Steyr pistols.

    Can’t see why they should our would. It appears that the slide assembly is identical. Mags are the same. The only difference is the frame. No reason to unless it is a production cost issue.

    H&K still sell the USP and USP compact line despite the P30 and VP9 evolution of the frame.
