Steyr Mannlicher of Austria will be exporting it's line of pistols to the US. Steyr Arms, the US branch of the Austrian parent will be adding to the line-up, the M-A1 (4" 9mm/40S&W) and S-A1 (sub-compact) pistols. Steyr also makes the AUG/A3 bullpup and the SSG 08 sniper system. Many hunters are familiar with their rifles for that purpose as well.
"We are pleased to announce that Steyr Arms will again import the Steyr
MA-1 and SA-1 line of pistols starting in August. SAI will import
additional quantities of both models in both a 9mm version as well as a
.40 S&W. The MA-1 and the SA-1 were two of Steyr's best selling
models, but the fall of the dollar versus the euro over the last several
years caused the price point to escalate far too high to import.
Internationally, the pistols sell for 610 Euro or over $800 at a 1.4
exchange rate. However, SAI felt the price point needed to be much
lower to truly compete in the US market. Due to a bulk buying agreement
with Austria and the recent rise of the dollar against the Euro, it
became much more economical to import some additional pistols into the
USA. Starting in August, SAI will be re-releasing both the MA-1 and
SA-1 versions at a suggested retail price of $649. We are very
excited to be able to offer these items again to the Steyr fanatics out
there."M-A1
