The
history of Steyr guns and target shooting
Steyr
is a city in Austria that has been an industrial center for
metalworking activity since the 14th Century. The eponymous
company has gone through many permutations over the years, but all of
its names and stages have produced high quality firearms. They are
ideal for both target shooting and hunting. The Steyr name commands
respect in every circle, from professional target shooting to serious
gun collecting.

The Steyr gun brand was famous for producing muskets
and pistols for the Imperial Austrian Army during its heyday. Today,
the company has added “Mannlicher” to its name, and is still world
renowned for its weapon forging prowess. The company sells everything
from hunting rifles to military and law enforcement firearms, so you
can find a gun for everything from target shooting to deer hunting.
The
Steyr name and target shooting
There
are two main series of Steyr pistols: the M&S series and the M-A1
series. Both these designs are sleek, modern, and feature a unique
lockable safety system. Target shooting with these self-loading
pistols is its own reward. The M-A1 series of pistols is the more
recent of the two. These guns are extremely light and ergonomically
designed to fit comfortably in the hand. Its newly designed
triangular/trapezoid sights make it easy to fire with repeatable
precision.
Although the Steyr M&S series is
older, it still boasts many innovative safety features that the
company is renowned for. There is a limited access lock with a key to
make sure you are the only one who can shoot the gun. There is also an
automatic trigger, drop, and firing pin safety mechanism, as well as a
manual safety. These are superior weapons for the serious shooter or
collector.
