Glocks hot, younger sister. Steyr. =)

[rimfire_crazed]

Yeah that's the strangest comparison I've seen made in a long time. I think they're sharp.

I'd love to see how this goes up against the Springfield Armory XD

Not if you're an XD fan you wouldn't.

Never shot one, but I always thought they had the best sights.

Funny I caught this thread because I just got to fondle one today. I really liked the angle on the grip along with the deeper groove (compared to Glock) in the back for your thumb. I also agree that the sights are slick too, should be pretty easy to pick up in a hurry. I am thinking now it might be on the list of "to gets".

 

[paintball_addiction]

Yeah, do you find the sights easy to use? It looks like they would be easy to line up. That's the first time I've seen any sights like that.

Oh yeah? Where did you see it? At a gun store?

Yes, they are very easy to sight up.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Yes, the sights, while being relatively unconventional, are basically just a modification of the standard "3 post" or "3 dot" design. They've just changed the shape a little.

They're big and easy to acquire.

And if they're still not your thing or you want night sights, you can get aftermarket sights that'll fit the dovetails.

I love those Steyrs. I wish I never sold mine It was one of the original models in 40.
Great guns, built like a tank. None of the chintzy metal tab embedded in plastic nonsense, but a real honest to goodness solid steel subframe.

There have been rumors of a full size Steyr coming out at some point. I'd be on that like a starving fat kid on a cupcake.

Yes, big time rumors coming out of Alabama... A new line of firearms, including a .45ACP version.

Don't know their "size", though.

You cannot compare Steyr to hi-point at all. =|

Yes we can, and I shall continue to refer to it as a glock-hipoint bastard child.

Oh well. You will change your tune when you shoot one.

Bought a new Steyr GB (9mm) in the mid 80's. Very nice gun that I gave to my son a few years ago
