Austria/Austria-Hungary

Steyr has just released its first new handgun since the M9. This new design is call the AT (Austria), with a competition model (AT-C) and a service/carry/defense model (AT-D). The gun is a Browning short recoil system that takes a lot of cues from the original Sig P226 handling and design. In fact, part of the concept is to fill the market gap left by the shuttering of European Sig production. The AT series is a modular system, but unlike most such new releases it actually comes with a number of different options available right from launch. There are three slide/barrel lengths (4", 5", 6"), both SA and DA triggers, and multiple hammer springs available. Several of the parts - including the grip and beavertail - are also publicly available as 3D models, so that DIY folks can make their own however they prefer.

These were Glock's first foray into. the subcompact market, and they offered a compelling package. These were small, lighter than t...
