Steyr-Hahn M1912

[USMA-82]

Continuing with my Austro-Hungarian sub-collection....

Here for your viewing pleasure is a Steyr Model 1912. If you're not familiar with this pistol, check out this great write-up:

http://www.hungariae.com/Stey12.htm

This particular pistol was manufactured right after WWI (maybe using components made during the war), and is marked "STEYR 1919"

I was able to track down some 9mm Steyr (Pack and Postal, Lancaster, MA) and hit the range today. From 25 yards (one hand, standing) it hit pretty much point of aim. Not bad for a 93-year-old pistol.

Enjoy!

So that is what a nice one looks like.The one I have looks like WWI was not good to it but it is still a good shooter.

Really beautiful pickup! We should have a "Guns of the Great War" Green shoot sometime...
