Great pistol, low bore axis. Kinda thick like a Beretta PX4. Get used to the glockish grip angle and the trapezoidal sights and you have a true and accurate extension of your arm!

The Steyr is an awesome firearm! No one issue. I would buy this firearm again. Thanks to Gurney and the crew at Buds for another winner!

I was torn between the FN compact and the Steyr S-A1 and the more I shoot the Steyr the more I like it. Very accurate very comfortable to shoot. The only drawback is finding a good holster for it. I prefer leather OTW and they are tough to find for this gun. That said I would buy this gun again in a heartbeat. I've purchased from Buds a couple of times and have no complaints.

As usual great service and delivery and price from Buds. I am totally in love with this handgun. I have read about Steyr's for years and always wanted one. Could never find one locally at a decent price so I grabbed one from Buds. It is a perfect fit in my hand and its one of those guns that just feels "right" when you pick it up. Even though this is a compact version my hand still is able to fit all 4 fingers around the grip which is unusual for me. I would need a pinkie extension on a lot of the compacts. Like others I was a bit leery about the trapezoidal sights but after a single range session, I was firing more accurately than any handgun I have ever fired. The sights just work. I don't have to search to line up the dots. My eyes just focus at the proper place automatically. The only negative would be the lack of night sights in this style. Hopefully Steyr will come out with a set. You may be worried about getting a compact in .40, but that should not hold you back when considering this gun. Very little snap and I was able to keep my sights on target at all times. The ability to get your hand so high up and in line with the bore keeps the recoil on this on par with a 9mm. Don't hesitate on this one. A great handgun and one I will never ever part with.

Bud's delivered again....... I love the A1's, I have six STEYR handguns and love them all. I love the sights. STEYR A1's are very low recoiling and the this little gem shines in this respect, great for a compact. The compact grip is great, I comfortably have a full grip on this gun ( no mag extension ) as opposed to the baby glocks. Uses the same magazines as the other handguns in the caliber so that is a bonus as well. I cannot say how much I love these handguns...... I have owned and shot about anything you can think of in caliber or type of handgun and in my opinion, STEYR builds the best striker fired pistol made.......I know, I know... Glock is a good gun too, ( I own Glock's as well ) but since Both had the same designer, I think the little brother got better upgrades.

What an awesome pistol. worked flawlessly with first100 rounds shot. Lock up was super tight prior to said rounds. smoothed out with the 100 rounds. 1 inch groups, 3 rounds at 7 yards easily repeatable. Buy one, you won't regret it! serious fun.

Great service from Bud's. Have bought many guns and always get great service. And the Steyr is a work of art.

Love the Steyr it is a great CCW weapon and the looks I get at the gun range are great. Everyone that see's it shoot wonders what it is and when I tell them it is a Steyr the next question is where is it made. Once they shoot it they want one themselves and I have to say the gun eats anything you put in it. Great service from Bud's.

Excellent firearm. Fit and finish is second to none. Everything is smooth and tight. Trapezoidal sites are amazing and easy to get on target. Ejection of spent casings is a little erratic but is starting to straighten out. Very comfortable in the hand and felt recoil is minimal. Would recommend this firearm to anyone looking for something a little different to add to their collection!

Awesome handgun, this has a quick target acquisition and natural feel in your hand. Great to do business with Buds, great customer service. Best feeling handgun I own.

It was a nice smooth transaction all around, from the online purchase to the transfer at my local shop. The gun is definitely a hidden gem, it looks and shoots great. It's one of those guns that really makes you think why you spend more money on other comparable guns when you can buy this one. It seems to be dependable, well built, easily taken down and cleaned, just an all around great gun that not many people know about yet.

Excellent handgun, replaces my Glock 23 perfectly. Low bore axis and an excellent grip angle makes the recoil feel like a 9mm. 300 rounds downrange and not one single malfunction, the only negative is that it does not drop the empties in a 3ft diameter like the Glock, more like 5ft area but this is so minor. No "brass in the face" with this autoloader, this is a little known gem in the gun world, your collection of autoloaders would not be complete if you did not have one of these outstanding weapon platforms. jb

2nd of 3 Steyr pistols I've bought from Bud's. First off, Bud's continues to impress with speedy product delivery and unmatched customer service. As far as the pistol? I was a bit leery of a compact .40S&W, but the low bore axis and grip angle render muzzle flip virtually nil. Felt recoil reminds you that you're not handling a peashooter, but it is manageable. As with my other Steyrs, the S40-A1 is incredibly accurate, and is probably the one that keeps me in the K5 ring more consistently than any other. Trapezoidal sights make for quick target acquisition, and negligible muzzle flip put you back on target in short order. Have only put just under 500 rounds through this pistol, but it is flawless using my standard CCI ammo. It's a bit jumpier than the M40-A1, but it is a hard hitting, superbly accurate piece of machinery. Since picking up my Steyrs, I've semi-retired or sold off a lot of my older pistols. I'll take the Steyr over any Glock, any day. Cant' express how much I love this, and my other Steyrs. If you see these guns in stock, do not fail to buy one if you're in the market.

Steyr I got from buds is the most current model available. Date code SWK which means 05/2012. I put 150 rounds with 1 failure. The recoil felt like a 9mm.Very happy with the steyr and the whole transaction with buds .

This is a fantastic firearm!!!! I own two of these now and I could not be happier. Buy this gun!! You can not beat the price or the quality. It is really to bad they are not more popular in the US. This is my first order from Buds. It did take two weeks to receive the gun, but im a patient person. It was well worth the wait.

This is a great compact .40 and my first Steyr. I've only put 100 rounds through it so I'll update again after another few hundred. I did experience 2 FTFs but this may be a matter of break in or it may be because I didn't clean the gun before I took it to the range (just couldn't wait!). This is a very accurate compact gun. Certainly plenty accurate for the short ranges typically involved in defensive situations. The recoil is only slightly more than my SR9C, which is a pretty soft shooter. The grip angle lets you get high on the bore axis so this may lessen felt recoil. The best part of this gun is the sights, however. The trapezoidal sights are intuitive and give you very rapid target acquisition. I wish I had them on all my handguns! The trigger is very light and feels more like a single action than a double action. This is good for accuracy but the combination of a light trigger and no manual safety may raise concerns for some. Also, be aware that while the photo on Bud's shows a version with the manual safety (in upper part of trigger guard) this gun DOES NOT come w/a manual safety. Overall, I highly recommend this gun. It's not only practical for a concealed carry weapon, it's fun as hell to shoot and accurate to boot!
