Trigger Characteristics: The trigger pull weight on the ASG Steyr M9-A1 falls into the average range for a double-action trigger. It mirrors the real Steyr M9-A1’s double-action-only operation, which is based on a hammerless, striker-fired trigger system.

Shooting Accuracy: When I tested the ASG Steyr M9-A1 air pistol by shooting at a target 20 feet away while standing, it achieved a commendable 2.5-inch grouping, just slightly high and left of center. Since the rear sight is fixed, any shooting deviation requires an adjustment in aiming. The airgun’s velocity, as measured on my Chrony, averaged a consistent 425 fps over eight shots, aligning with the manufacturer's claims.

Construction Standards: ASG consistently delivers quality airguns, and the Steyr M9-A1 is no exception. While not overly complex or laden with metal components, it's stylish and effectively designed. The plastic/polymer parts are well-crafted, and the airgun has a solid feel, despite its predominantly plastic composition. The overall fit and finish are impressive.

Replica Accuracy: The ASG Steyr M9-A1 BB gun is an accurate replica of the real Steyr M9-A1 9mm pistol. The only noticeable difference is in the safety design; the realistic-looking safety is molded into the frame, while the functional safety, located just below, is slightly different. Besides this, with its official Steyr licensing and trademarks, the airgun closely resembles the original.

Pros:

• Highly consistent shot velocity.
• Strong power output.
• Efficient CO2 usage, yielding 133 shots from 7 magazines.
• High-quality construction with excellent fit and finish.
• Includes a metal drop-out magazine.
• Equipped with an accessory rail for attachments.
• Authentic replica of the Steyr M9A1.
• An effective sighting system with fiber optic rear and white dot front sights.
• Ergonomically designed with a contemporary appearance.

Cons:

• The trigger pull is somewhat heavy, which may impact shooting accuracy.
• Predominantly constructed from Polymer.
• Could offer better accuracy.

Comments:

The ASG Steyr M9-A1 is primarily designed as a BB gun and excels in delivering high fps and numerous shots per CO2 cartridge. Its close resemblance to the actual Steyr M9-A1 is a notable plus, and it's affordably priced. While features like blowback action, full-sized magazines, and extensive metal parts do add to the cost, this airgun provides a cost-effective solution for those seeking a high-quality BB gun. The ASG Steyr M9-A1 is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a good-looking, efficient BB blinker.
