Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted December 3, 2011 hey pizzabob think you can put a pic with it in your hands? just curious where your thumb will be where that groove is? ps it does look alot like something batman would rock! lol... I have a natural tendency to grip the gun low on the grip. If I put my strong-hand thumb in that indentation, it forces my grip higher so that the web of my hand is where it's supposed to be. So,, Whats next on the list??? Still waiting (been almost a year since they "announced" it) for my Sig 1911 Target Elite in 9mm. I have six Wilson mags already here, and a set of wild G-10 grips for it on order. http://www.taurususa...dcrumbseries=41 That'll never happen Bob, you should have shot USPSA with it today! No holster, no mag pouches and not enough mags. We'll start to remedy that on Monday. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bry@n 195 Posted December 4, 2011 Bob, I think it is kinda cool. It would certainly be one of those I have to try one before I buy guns for me. The rear sight is different. I look forward to your reports on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,878 Posted December 4, 2011 I like the looks. I'd like to see how the sights work out too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fish-catchin-gun-totin 4 Posted December 6, 2011 Hey I know im a day late and a dollar short on the post here, Love the look of the A1, congrats on crossing over to the dark side. Even though I've never seen one in person. I've heard underneath that polymer is a steel frame. Is that a fact? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted December 6, 2011 Hey I know im a day late and a dollar short on the post here, Love the look of the A1, congrats on crossing over to the dark side. Even though I've never seen one in person. I've heard underneath that polymer is a steel frame. Is that a fact? Thanks. Yes, there is a steel sub-frame that includes the rails (not embedded in the polymer ala Block) and the mechanicals, so polymer flex is not an issue. This one will probably make its debut at either a USPSA match (Production) or an IDPA match (SSP), depends on when the requisite holster/pouches/mags arrive.

Ray Ray 3,566 Posted December 6, 2011 so, let me get this straight. pizza bob has more plastic guns than me? now I've seen everything Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted December 6, 2011 so, let me get this straight. pizza bob has more plastic guns than me? now I've seen everything And more revolvers 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted December 6, 2011 And more revolvers per capita or in total? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted December 6, 2011 per capita or in total? Since there is only one of each of us, it's the same thing. You fooling with that "new math" again, Ray? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted December 6, 2011 I don't know what you mean, but I have lots of revolvers and only 2 semi-auto's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted December 6, 2011 When I last checked, my ratio of revolvers to auto-loaders was higher. Now that I have added the 1911-22 and the plastic fantastic it is probably approaching 1:1, but I think the revovers still hold a slight edge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted December 6, 2011 okay, mines 3:1, I win Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjf915 456 Posted December 7, 2011 Ray you win as far as the ratio goes....let's go for total count Bob, I think you should hold off until IDPA!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon 264 Posted January 25, 2012 Looking for an update on this gun. It I on my short list of purchases I know Bob has had nothing but problems with getting the gun to function reliably. From what I understand it shoots great when it works though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vjf915 456 Posted January 25, 2012 I know Bob has had nothing but problems with getting the gun to function reliably. From what I understand it shoots great when it works though. This. Everything that's happened is too much to list in detail, so I guess I'll list the cliffs. He ran the pistol at a couple action pistol matches and had the same issue. The slide would not extract the spent shell case, but would attempt to feed a new round. He found out that it may potentially be the follower and magazine springs. Steyr sent him a new extractor though. Tomorrow he will be going to Classic Pistol in PA to try out the gun with the new extractor. If that doesn't work, he'll be contacting Steyr again. I'm sure he'll post tomorrow. If not, I'll post up the details. As Jon said though, Bob really enjoyed the gun when it ran. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted January 25, 2012 As per my conversation with Steyer, early production guns had issues with extractors and magazines. They do stand behind their products. the gun seems interesting, but rather a novelty in my book. was painful to see a gun not be able to shoot a stage completely without having an issue every mag. On Sunday, at CJ, Bob did run a full stage, out of 6 without any issues. Initial thoughts were like Hk, Steyr needed hotter, heavier loads to break in, however chatting with the CEO at ShotShow, confirmed otherwise, and just tossed it up to production issues.
