About Steyr S40-A1

The Steyr S40-A1 is a recoil operated, semi-automatic DAO handgun, with a trigger safety and a manual safety feature. It comes with a .40 S&W caliber and the magazine can hold 10 rounds. The frame is made out of black polymer and the grips are made of integrated polymer. The sights are triangular.

As with each model in the Steyr A1 line of products, the pistol features a low bore-axis which minimizes recoil and improves control while the ergonomic grip offers optimal control for a variety of hand sizes. The lower frame of the gun offers a standard slide-lock thumb tab, right-handed magazine ejection button and pivoting break-down lever. A key-operated manual safety feature is located next to the break-down lever and 2 keys are provided with each pistol. An integrated Picatinny rail allows for simple mounting of a laser or light and slide-racking grooves on the back of the slide allow for a firm grip when manually operating the action.
