When those Steyers first came out they were priced so right.

It just melted in my hand.  I liked everything about it- almost.

I just could not get past the slick feeling of the grip. :P  It was like the grooves did nothing for the grip purchase.

So I passed.

Now I kind of regretted it, prices have gone up, and I could have sent it to Robar for a grip enhancement for the difference in cash. :'(

Those slick grips look like a good candidate for 3M tape which I like but turns up the noses of some grip purists.

Never heard of the Steyrs, however, seems interesting.

I'm sure you have seen or heard of the Steyr AUG.

You're right.  Just wasn't thinking of it in a pistol.  Brain didn't connect.    ;)

Speaking of "bling" on a Glock, check out this G22:

As Brenden will attest, I am not averse to a little "bling" on my guns. However, who would have thought to add full coverage scroll engraving to polymer?

Different, but a little much for my taste.

Quite different, for sure!  Now, I like Glocks, but for me, just doesn't fit.  That's why we like different things, though.
