Shooting Performance: Firing the ASG Steyr M9-A1 air pistol at a target 20 feet away, it showed respectable accuracy, achieving a grouping of approximately 2.5 inches, slightly above and to the left of the target center. Due to the fixed rear sight, some aiming adjustments might be necessary. Chrony tests over eight shots showed a consistent velocity of 425 FPS, aligning with the manufacturer's claims.

Construction Quality: ASG consistently impresses with its firearm quality, and the Steyr M9-A1 is no different.

The plastic and polymer elements are well-constructed, and the airgun feels appropriately weighted for a predominantly plastic build. The fit and finish are commendable.

Replica Authenticity: The ASG Steyr M9-A1 airsoft pistol closely mirrors the actual 9mm ASG Steyr M9-A1. The most noticeable difference is in the safety feature, where the realistic-looking molded safety contrasts with a slightly different, functional safety.
