 Steyr A2 MF. Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at the new Steyr L9 A2 MF. New from Steyr 2019, they debuted it at Shot Show. A lot of people were excited about it. I ran to the Steyr booth to check it out. I heard that Steyr was coming up with a redesigned handgun and I left extremely impressed. Now these are not in the U.S. at this time. Steyr's expecting them to arrive and be distributed out any day now but we'll see what happens when they get here. I think you'll be impressed. This is the first non-Shot Show tabletop review that you've seen. Also it's the first time you saw the new model live fired at the range. So this is the exclusive look at the new Steyr A2 MF model. Now if you look they redesigned the entire grip. I am a huge Steyr fan. I've owned the M9 for a while now and when you grip this, the Urgos feel amazing. You say well how could you improve upon that but then when you do a side by side with the new model you say whoa that is really nice. Check out the difference in grip texturing. The A2 MF models redesigned the entire grip from interchangeable backstraps and grip panels that are not offered with the A1 model. So here we have a couple other backstraps okay to custom fit your hand size and if you look at this grip panel here it bows out a little bit right on both sides. It really fills the hand but if you have a smaller hand here's a flat grip panel. You can throw that in there in place of this and that will suit you just fine. It also has a magazine 17 round magazine with an orange follower now so that's nice. You can see as or you can see how many rounds you have left based on where the orange is with the sight holes and the magazine does have sight holes on both sides 17 round mag with the L series and a flared out magwell which is new with this model. So that's a nice touch there for those quick mag changes. Also has front serrations that the A1 models do not have and a full 1913 rail in which the older models have an accessory rail. The trigger I measure the same right between five and a quarter and five and a half pounds and I have to tell you I am happy that that did not change because I love the Steyr trigger it is just so smooth. And such a nice shooter especially when live firing. They extended the beaver tail out a little bit and if you notice when I grip the beaver tail extends past my hand now when I grip the A1 models my hand extends past the beaver tail and that actually allows for more control and I like that it actually feels very much in control when I live fired it it was nice. It still has the triangular trapezoidal sights all right I find those advantageous as I'm firing now you can see that I shoot these Steyrs really well and I attribute that to the mechanics of the gun but I also like that sight picture but I also understand that maybe not everybody does like that so Steyrs worked hard to get aftermarket support for this model and you will have more options available to you. The MF stands for modular frame and if we look there we can see that the serialized part is the internal chassis the trigger component group which can be removed and used in exchange kits that Steyr is going to have with different frames different colors different sizes that will give the shooter a variety if we look at the A1 model we can see that the serial number is on the dust cover another one on the slide on the barrel and all those are serialized here the gun is that internal part and Steyr is the first company to make modular firearms it does have a loaded chamber indicator right there on the back of the slide just above the back plate that's that's new with this model I want to demonstrate that now we'll go ahead and throw a round in there it's kind of nice the way it's located it's right there it sits flush but when a round is loaded that button pops up just a little bit see that so when holstered you can just run your thumb across to double check to make sure that you have a round loaded and that's a pretty nice feature one would never know what's there because it sits flush with the firearm let's go ahead and disassemble it if this assembles the exact same way we're going to go ahead and push this down move this lever down pull the trigger and off comes the slide there's the frame they they they added this texturing right there on the frame that they don't have on the other one well nice touch there the captured recoil spring guide rod and with the L model it's a four and a half inch barrel and there's your slide now the a2 mf models will be available with the L which is this the m models with the four inch barrel and the c models which are a little bit shorter than that but this is a nice it feels great it really does they did an amazing job with the ergonomics and at the range i just shot it so well i'm i'm just comfortable shooting stires and this one was let's just call it an enhanced experience at the range i really did enjoy it and i think this is going to do very well for stire the msrp is 675 and we'll see where that shows up at your gun stores or what price will will show up at your gun stores i i'm really not sure we'll let the the powers to be decide that but i'll tell you this started a nice job they took an outstanding gun and made it better with the a2 mf models and i think you guys are going to be impressed if you like videos like this please subscribe and share i always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
