Aaargo Jay braves the cold to test the Steyr C9-A1

Better you than me, sir:

Temperature at time of filming: 8 Degrees

Here is my first look into the Styer C9-A1 and M9-A1 polymer pistols. This pistol, the compact model, has a 3 7/8 inch barrel. There are offerings with 4″ (M9-A1) and 5″ (L9-A1) barrels. I will be including the 4″ barrel M9-A1 in the review. The L9-A1 5″ model is very difficult to find. After I get a chance to put a few hundred more rounds through each the compact and mid size models, I will be posting an in depth review of the two pistols.
