New Super M Series Pistols. The new Steyr M series pistols have excellent state of the art features, some of which cannot be appreciated until you actually test fire one. Read on if you want to find out more about this new millennium pistol series. A Short Steyr History. Wilhelm Bubits is the mastermind of the Steyr pistol. Hes a hobby shooter who at one time worked for Glock, and was also a uniformed officer and later a plainclothes officer. Basically, Bubits was always critiquing pistols and finally decided to become a designer, so he could build what he envisioned. He actually offered his patents to Glock and was told that his designs did not follow their philosophy of design. So, Bubits ended up with Steyr Mannlicher, another Austrian arms maker, in 1. A key player to bring Bubits dream into reality was Steyrs engineer, Fridrich Aigner. Postal 2 Apocalypse Weekend Full Version. After two years of research and development, the pistol has been christened. Steyr Mannlicher has been making quality firearms since 1. Ayoob sums up Steyrs history well when he said that Steyr is a daring company that boldly goes where no gun manufacturer has gone before, and has been successful doing it. For example The Steyr Professional with it Cycolac stock was introduced 2. And the Steyr AUG was the first extremely successful tactical rifle. Instead of just a custom make of Jeff Coopers Scout Rifle, Steyr dared to actually manufacture it. And everyone who shot it, has marveled at its execution. So, with Steyrs two years of expensive development of the M series pistol line, Im expecting to see an excellent new product that will not have to bow down to the competition.

There are plans to also expand the line into the S Small series, and this series might possibly see daylight in 2. Rumors from the Jan. Shot Show I was told some interesting information from someone who attended the show and had spoken with Bubits. Besides the S series, Bubits talked about a Steyr. He mentioned that the. This model may be shown in the 2. Shot Show. Unsupported Versus Supported Chambers. The Glock was born as a 9mm and then modified into the now famous Glock 2. S W models. The Steyr M4. S W pistol and then the 9mm version was developed. Thats why the Steyr M4. Some manufacturers of 9mm pistols simply rebarrelled, modified the breechface and put in a stiffer recoil spring to develop their initial. S W pistols. Since the. Thus the. 4. 0 S W Unsupported Chamber was born. This was a quick and dirty fix by some manufacturers to get to market fast. Other manufacturers either started from scratch or went through the added expense to redesign their 9s to safely handle the. These types of. 4. If you want to find out if your. Measure the diameter of the lower, most expanded part of some fired brass. After the first measurement, rotate the brass slightly and measure it again because the brass sometimes measures greater from a certain angle because of the 6 oclock chamber opening affect. If your brass measures. Also, put a round into the barrel and look at the 6 oclock position of the chamber opening. If the thin part of the brass wall is exposed, or too much brass is exposed, you have an unsupported chamber. Both of these measurements are important to determine if your chamber is well supported or not. The greatestbrass expansion occurs when shooting full power loads. In the six oclock chamber opening of the Steyr M4. I kid you not This is truly amazing, especially since the rounds feed perfectly. A Steyr barrel does not over expand and bulge the brass like an unsupported chamber would. The diameter of the Steyr fired brass measures around. The Glock. 4. 0 and even a SW9. I tested can expand brass as much as. In other words, the Steyr M4. It should give a little extra confidence to anyone who carries a. Generally speaking, ammo and gun companies dont care about reloading safety and case life. Some of the newer reloading manuals have strong warnings about reloading for pistols with unsupported chambers, especially concerning high pressure cartridges. One positive side effect of Glocks famous unsupported chamber and their marketing omnipresence, is that some ammo companies have beefed up their. S W brass so it has a better chance of surviving when fired in a Glock chamber. The Barrel. Conventional rifling is used in the barrel, for those that choose to use lead. Bubits has stated that for the cost of being able to use lead and be handload compatible, there is no more than a 3 percent to 4 percent loss in velocity. The Steyr M series employs the Browning cam operated tilting barrel system to lock the action during firing. For Lead Bullet Fans. I performed a little test just for you. I dont normally shoot lead because I find it a little too messy. I bought 1. 00 Oregon Trail Laser Cast 1. Semi Wad Cutters SWC. Now, Ive never been able to get SWC rounds to feed consistently in any of my Glock. Ive had some luck shooting SWCs in Glock. Im glad to report that my Steyr M4. SWC rounds perfectly. This is great news for sports shooters since a semi wad cutter cuts a larger, cleaner hole in the paper. Thats because a SWC is not only a flat point, but it has a 3. Now I just have to find some good bulk platedjacketed SWC bullets. The Trigger. The Steyr, like the Glock, has a safety on the trigger. Game Metal Fatigue Crack. If the trigger gets bumped from various angles, the trigger will not release. You need to put a positive finger pressure on the front of the trigger for the gun to fire. This is an important safety feature that some people just dont get. After shooting a few hundred rounds, I took the slide off to clean the M4. I put a little high tech Tetra lube on the inner trigger workings with a q tip and then lightly removed any excess lube with the dry end of the q tip. Oh, and I applied a little tetra to the long trigger bar as well. After reassembling the Steyr, the trigger action is silky smooth. Early triggers had about an 8 lb. After August, 2. 00. The trigger guard is angled 1. This trigger angle allows for a very natural, higher finger placement. The Steyr trigger is true double action since the trigger continues to cock the striker throughout the stroke until it is released. The Steyr trigger does not feel like a typical double action trigger at all. It has a short stroke action aprox. Like the Glock, the Steyr striker mechanism is under partial tension partially cocked when the trigger is fully forward. After the trigger is pulled, the striker is fully at rest until the trigger is reset. The three passive safeties keep the Steyr pistol safe to operate. You just have to remember to engage your primary manual safety, the one between your ears, and NOT put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire this rule is actually true for ALL guns. In my opinion, the short, clean, stroke of the Steyr trigger feels better than the longer, mushier Glock trigger. I even grabbed a Glock armorer at my shooting range so he could test fire the Steyr.
