The Steyr M was an Austrian semi-automatic pistol. It was developed by the Steyr-Mannlicher company in the 1990s to compete with the very successful Glock 17 developed by another Austrian manufacturer. The Steyr M was launched in 1999. Production of the original Steyr M ended in 2004. It was replaced in production by the improved and slightly redesigned production Steyr M-1A pistol.
These pistols are in service in Austria, Germany, Pakistan, Great Britain and Thailand. However, these are mainly used by special forces.
