Steyr Unveils L40-A1 .40 S&W for American Market

Steyr Arms has unveiled a .40 S&W version of its full-size L-A1 service pistol for the American market. According to the press release, the Steyr L40-A1 features a full-length slide, a 4.5-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel and a 12-round magazine capacity for .40 S&W. It is designed for duty and sporting purposes.

The highly-accurate Steyr L40-A1, which is nearly identical to the form and function of the L-A1, also has a consistently crisp trigger break and a short, distinct reset. In addition, the L40-A1’s full-size polymer frame offers a high grip that places the barrel axis lower in the hand to mitigate muzzle rise, while creating a perfect grip angle and a very natural point of aim, according to the press release.

The Steyr L40-A1 also features drift-adjustable trapezoidal sights, a Picatinny rail for mounting lights and lasers, an integrated trigger safety and a keyed safety lock.

The manufacturer suggested retail price of the Steyr L40-A1 pistol is $560. See below for specifications.
