The barrel hood has a small cutout that allows you to see the rim of a chambered round. The L9-A2 has three loaded-chamber indicators that provide both visual and tactile confirmation of the chamber’s condition. Reversing the process reassembles the pistol, though the lock button need not be depressed. This allows the barrel to slide forward and out. Did I mention to make sure the pistol is clear of ammunition? At this point you can field-strip the gun and remove the recoil spring and guide rod. Like a Glock, you will need to depress the trigger before the slide will come free. Swing it downward, and the slide will be released. Depressing this will allow the takedown lever to swing free. Safely clear the pistol of ammo and push in on the lockout safety. Use the small key to turn the lever to “S,” and the trigger is locked, preventing the pistol from being fired or disassembled. This is a spring-loaded feature that utilizes a special key provided by Steyr. Right behind the takedown lever is a lockout safety. It has horizontal serrations that provide plenty of purchase. The takedown lever can be found on the right side of the gun, near the center. The magazine release is long and can be switched to the right side for lefties out there. The upside is that it is much easier to index and operate. The steel slide stop is located above the grip on the left side of the frame, a little farther back than you find on most guns in this category.

The model I was sent for testing had no manual safety, but I’m told there will be one available. The L9-A2’s operating controls are pretty straightforward and easily managed. Finally, you’ll find textured, dished-out areas for your thumb and trigger finger, and the dust cover features a rail for adding a light, laser or combination unit. While there is a slight indentation below the triggerguard for the middle finger of the strong hand, the remainder of the grip has horizontal grooves along the front and backstraps. Unlike its predecessor, the L9-A1, the pistol has no real finger groves. To me, this is a sign that that the company wasn’t simply copying a fad, but looking to make a gun capable of fitting just about anyone’s hands. But Steyr has gone above and beyond by included interchangeable side panels as well.
Of course, as with many polymer-framed strikers today, the Steyr L9-A2 MF comes with interchangeable backstraps so the gun can fit a wide variety of shooters. With a tip of the hat to shooters requiring gloves, the oversized triggerguard provides excellent clearance for cold weather shooting. The grip is also set deeper under the slide with an extended beavertail which allows the shooter to get a higher grip without fear of slide bite. When you pick the Steyr L9-A2 MF up, you’ll immediately notice the grip angle, which I measured at about 20 degrees. From its slide serrations to its unique grip texturing, the gun gets a 10 for its unique looks. Overall, this is a good-looking pistol with an attention to aesthetics. The L9-A2 is a polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol with a trigger-mounted safety that allows the pistol to be fired once it’s depressed. As an added safety feature in addition to the Hand Cocking System, the MONOBLOC’s single-set trigger is detachable and can be stored in the stock.Why the Steyr Elite Experience Is the Best Shooting Program We’ve Seen Digging In The stock features accented leather inlays in the foreend, pistol grip and cheekpiece, providing a unique and elegant look.

The result is an ultra-accurate rifle, built to military-grade standards with the toughness and reliability that have become synonymous with the Steyr name.
