New Play Toy!!! (Firearm)

Today I strolled into a local gunshop and much to my amazement I found a Steyr M40 (NIB) for $399.00. I’d always been interested in the Steyr ever since it came out specifically the smaller “s” series and more so the S357.

Well I just could not pass up such a good deal, I’ve seen this gun in shops down south, (GA, TN, SC) for as much as $519.00, so when I saw the $399.00 I had to have it.

Bought a pistol blanket for her, four boxes of Speer plinking ammo and some .40 cal cleaning supplies (bore brush, pads etc…) as this is my first 40.

Shot it already and WOW!!!

Accurate, once you get use to the “trapezoid” sites, trigger is short, very short and crisp, nice break around 5 pounds.

It is a very tight gun, first time I tried to apply the manual safety I couldn’t, took three or four tries now it moves just as the manual says it should, with two fingers.

I will most likely buy a tac-lite for this and a .357 barrel, and (pray) once the AWB goes away I’ll get me a few “normal capacity” mags for it (12 rounds) and then she’ll make a rather nice beside the bed gun.

It’s so nice to be able to buy a gun in a gun friendly state!

Mine is cuter. And it makes really big holes in street scum with 230gr. Hydra Shocks.

Ahhh.... the old Model 19, I've a one with the 2 in. barrel, really nice.

IWB, will be ordered custom from Wild Bill's Concealment Holsters, where I get all my leather.

The pic really doesn't do it justice, it's a really nice gun and feels great.

Congrats on your new acquisition. Interesting rake on the grip, how's it point?

Wild Bill is a local here where we are. I've got a belt slide, a belt and a nice horsehide pocket holster that sees daily use from Bill.

No, No.  The "kill everybody in the room" gun is the Ingram MAC 10, also known as the "room broom."

the AK-47 is for firing off indiscriminate random bursts at "who the hell cares."

[grapeape]

In a World of comprimises, some men don't!

[BunnySlippers]

Mmmm ... nice. Who is the manufacturer?

[Bahbah]

I am truly enjoying this thread. The "room broom". LOL.
