Steyr had a very different feel to it this year at SHOT Show with a series of new metal-framed hammer-fired pistols designed for both competition and defense.

The first hammer-fired pistols branded by Steyr since the old GB gas guns of the 1970s and 80s, the all-stainless ATc series is pitched to competition users and features tuned 3-pound SAO triggers and heavy match barrels with options for 5- and 6-inch lengths.

A hand-finished and hand-tuned gun, Steyr is supporting a 3D printed file for the grips on these to allow users to easily develop their own custom takes. The triggers, mag wells, and beavertails are all modular. 
 

Meanwhile, the three ATd model 6-pound DA/SA guns, geared more for defensive use, will have alloy frames in three barrel sizes (4, 5, and 6 inches). These use 18-shot double-stack 9mm magazines, with extended magazines available up to 25 rounds. 
 

The guns will have modular recoil spring and hammer spring options to allow easy user-level tuning. 

The AT series is shipping soon, with prices for the ATc competition guns running $2,000-$2,500 while the more standard ATd series has an ask of $900 - $1,100.
