STEYR ARMS — SAFETY WARNING + RECALL NOTICE
STEYR M9-A1, C9-A1, AND S9-A1 PISTOLS

Steyr Arms, Inc. has determined a potential condition with the firing pins in a very limited number of 9mm Steyr M9-A1, C9-A1 and S9-A1 pistols that could possibly allow the pistol to fire without the trigger being pulled. Although Steyr Arms, Inc. has not received any reports of accidents or injuries, it is voluntarily initiating this recall to protect the safety of its customers because of the remote possibility of an unintentional discharge occurring.

They feel good, but have the things ever worked properly? Seems like the 90s era ones were unreliable also.

Interesting it is just the 9's and not the .40's too.

Thanks for the heads up. Got a buddy who's son has one of these.

Interesting gun, shoots good. He got it for a decent price.
