Steyr M pistol series
The Steyr M is a series of semi-automatic pistols developed by Steyr Mannlicher of Austria for police services and the civilian shooting market.
History and Design
Design work on the Steyr M series began in the early 1990s and was led by Austrian firearm designer and retired police officer Wilhelm Bubits, who had previously helped design the original Glock pistol. After designing the Steyr M, Bubits went on to design the Caracal F, the BB Techs BB6 and the Taurus TS9. Friedrich Aigner, Steyr's chief engineer, was also heavily involved in the design process and held the patents for the Steyr M designs. Aigner also designed the Steyr TMP. The final product, known as the M9, was officially unveiled in the spring of 1999. In addition to 9x19mm, the M-series is also offered in other calibers, such as .40 S&W and .357 SIG (designated the M40 and M357, respectively). .357 SIG models were built until 2014.
There are four total variants of the M class: the M, the S, the C and the L.
