Steyr s40?

I went to one of the local gun stores yesterday, and they happened to have a Steyr s40 for $450. I've heard lots of good things about newer Steyr pistols, and love the way they handle. I haven't heard much about the s40 other than they are kind of hard to find.

This particular gun store is usually WAY over priced and I can't really find any prices to compare online. How is this price and is the s40 any good.

Thanks

Are you sure you don't mean M-40? Most of those, except for the newer M-40 1A's are in the mid three hundreds. Check gunbroker.com and gunsamerica.com.

This was the compact s40 (no longer in production)

that is the most sought after model. Not many made it to the US before they switched over to the new MA1's and the SA1's were a bit behind that and were just coming into the US in small numbers when the company got bought. No S40A1's are in the US, and few original S40's. As a compact carry 40 it is like gold to they steyroids out there.

I have also been considering a Steyr. Would like to find an S40, but even the MA1 feel really good.
