Glock 19 Vs Steyr M9 A1
I think they are the same. It is hard to reduce the grip significantly in the area that would help trigger reach since there is a pin near that location.
Id take the Steyr over a Glock any day. Imo the Steyr is a improved glock. Glock is also good but id take the Steyr. Steyr has several versions the full size is like the glock 22 size they also have a compact and one i thinkmwith the compact slide and full grip. Reliability will be a wash (both good) i just think the Steyr is a nicer gun. Glock 17 vs 19 Distance to front of Trigger. If you want to stick with a non-1911 gun try the Steyr M9/M40. The Steyr M series guns are similar to a Glock in operation, but the trigger reach is shorter. For IPSC the 'law enforcement' model with night sights would be probably be better than the 'triangular sight' models.
However relieving the frame a little bit right where the frame meets the trigger guard can help. Take a look at Dane's website for a pic of what I'm talking about.For small hands it is hard to beat a 1911 since both a short trigger and slim grips are simple changes.
I have small hands and nothing else comes close for gun fit. If you want to stick with a non-1911 gun try the Steyr M9/M40. The Steyr M series guns are similar to a Glock in operation, but the trigger reach is shorter. For IPSC the 'law enforcement' model with night sights would be probably be better than the 'triangular sight' models.
You must be thinking of another pistol line. The Glocks basically come in two sizes as far as trigger reach is concerned: the small frame (17/19/26/etc) and the large frame (21/30/etc). The one-off G36 is the so called 'slim line' frame but it is only marginally smaller than the G17/19 frame.Maybe you were thinking about the Walther P99?
It has multiple backstrap assemblies that can be switched out to help fit the gun to the shooter? However I'm not sure how much the backstraps affect trigger reach.
Contents.The Austrian-made Steyr C9-A1 compact 9mm is an often overlooked handgun for Carry and personal protection purposes. Are the C9’s innovative trapezoidal sights an advantage or just a unique eye-catching appeal? Some even compare the Steyr C9-A1 pistol to its fellow Austrian gun, the Glock 19. Is this a fair comparison? Are there similarities other than just the home country of production?
What are some differences and similarities between the two guns and how does the Steyr C9-A1 stack up to the 19?I was aware of the various 9mm models offered over the years by Steyr but was not familiar with the C9-A1. So when some readers asked me to review it, I thought what a great learning opportunity for myself and a chance to help folks who might want to consider it for concealed carry or personal protection.Steyr sent me the latest generation model to review. I had heard good reports about Steyr and admire their innovative and forward-looking ideas, like their trapezoidal sights. Do their “trap” sights really help with quick sight acquisition? Is there a significant difference in using them for up-close tactical distances versus longer distances, say beyond 10 yards? Does it take a steep learning curve to be comfortable enough and effective in using them?
Will I spend a lot of time adjusting to them and transitioning from my usual 3-dot sights?I was anxious to test and evaluate the gun for accuracy and reliability and put the gun and its somewhat unique sights to the test. I want to clarify that I am not on the Steyr payroll, have not been paid to say good things about the gun, have not received special remuneration or favors from them, and want to be honest and straight-forward with my opinions and ideas the way I truly see the new pistol to help folks. I wanted to know certain key things.
Primarily, how accurate is it out of the box? What about the trigger press? Is it smooth, crisp, short and soft as several claim?
Will there be any malfunctions and stoppages? Is it reliable? Does it have short reset distance for follow-up shots? Is the felt recoil as great as some have told me?
Are there parts, accessories, holsters, support, etc. Readily available for the Steyr? Since everything has pros and cons, what are they for the C9-A1? Will I recommend it for CC and/or personal protection?
