I have a Steyr M9. It points better then any gun I have ever owned or fired, including Glocks, a Luger and better even then my H&K P7M8. The trigger is about the same weight as a Glock, but more smooth and less crunchy or gritty then M21 I used to own.
Magazines are available at CDNN or the Steyr web site.
Downsides: there are fewer holster choices and fewer aftermarket accessories and not everybody likes the trapezoidal sight picture. While most guns, like a Glock, are essentially a post and notch, the Steyr uses a triangle shaped front site and the reverse for the rear sight. I happen to like the sights, they are very fast to pick up, but some prefer the more conventional sight picture offered by Glocks or Smiths or Sigs.
I happen to think they are a better gun then the Glocks and the designer worked for Glock.
Shooting there is very little muzzle flip and like a Glock, lead bullets are NOT recommended.
