#STEYR MANNLICHER PISTOL PROFESSIONAL#
In 2004, their design was further improved following the combined feedback of civilian users and professional operators, and the new generation of pistols was dubbed the A1 the semi-compact M-A1 and the sub-compact S-A1 pistols featured a redesigned ergonomic frame, a MIL-STD-1913 "Picatinny" tactical rail, a loaded chamber indicator, a fully supported chamber right from the start, a roll pin in the slide improving trigger pull, and a modified extractor for easier spent cases ejection. The 111° grip angle and the sights configuration makes target acquisition quick and almost automatic These semi-compact and sub-compact pistols were an instant market success, with good sales between civilian shooters and military and Police operators alike, in at least a dozen Countries. Steyr-Mannlicher's new pistols had one of the lowest recoil and muzzle climb levels available on the market, and the combination between their quick-collimation trapezoid sights with tritium inserts and the unique 111° grip inclination helped to achieve better and faster target acquisition. The overall technical layout was much akin to the one used by another, very famous Austrian-made pistols line − which Wilhelm Bubits himself had helped to develop years before − but the Steyr pistols were more ergonomic and sleek, and thus much more fit for small-handed shooters. 357 SIG − were striker-fired and featured an injection-molded fibreglass-reinforced polymer frame, a precision-milled, Tenifer-treated stainless steel slide, a cold-hammer forged, polygon-grooved barrel, pressed sheet metal small parts, and a light double-action trigger. Featuring modern technical features and a futuristic design, these short-recoil, locked breech pistols − available in 9mm. Then, in 1999, the company launched the Steyr-Mannlicher M and S semi-automatic pistols, engineered by Wilhelm Bubits and Friedrich Aignerpoi il 1999, e con esso il lancio della linea di pistole semi-automatiche Steyr M ed S: progettate da Wilhelm Bubits e Friedrich Aigner. The Steyr-Mannlicher L-A1 pistol will be available in three calibers: 9x19mm, 9x21mm-IMI and. Military at the end of the 1990s, and there was little or no request for it on the market its semi-automatic civilian version (the SPP pistol), along with the other pistol to have ever been offered by Steyr-Mannlicher in modern times − the GB model, based on a Barnitzke-type gas brake system − had both long gone out of production. Steyr's TMP rotating-barrel sub-machinegun was a spawing from the abortive individual weapons modernization programmes attempted by the U.S.
Its signature product − the AUG Bull-Pup rifle design, available both as a select-fire Military/LE firearm and a semi-automatic civilian carbine − had merely been upgraded with Picatinny interfaces, but was otherwise stuck to the standards of the late 1970s, when it had first been fielded. Just like many other important international gunmakers, by the end of the 20th Century the Steyr-Mannlicher company suffered from the lack of dynamism of the gun market, and was thus stuck on a somewhat outdated product line. Looking back, this the ideal ending point of a lenghty renewal phase for Steyr-Mannlicher GmbH − one of the world's most notorious gun manufacturers, headquartered in the Austrian town of Kleinraming − and perhaps it paves the way for yet another one. The Steyr-Mannlicher L-A1 semi-automatic pistol is 188mm long and sports a 4.5" barrel
