About Steyr L40-A1

The Steyr L40-A1 is a semi-automatic DA/SA pistol chambered in .40 S&W. It has a capacity of 17 rounds. The barrel length is 4.5". The Steyr L40-A1 is a newer addition to the medium sized pistols that Steyr produces. The L40-A1 fits into the EDC or CCW category. The pistol features a rail under the barrel.

With a barrel length of 4.5” (114mm), the L-A1 is the largest of the Steyr pistol line and offers maximum accuracy for ideal application in duty use, home defense and sport or competitive shooting. A full-length integrated Picatinny rail allows for mounting of nearly any standard light and/or laser and two recoil groves in the rail provides adjustment for whatever accessory is installed on the firearm. The slide of the Steyr L-A1 also features slide-racking grooves at both the rear and front of the slide.

As with each model in the Steyr A1 line of products, the pistol features a low bore-axis which minimizes recoil and improves control. 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.
