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.

At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
