I hope you've found the mags at CDNN. $30 for either the large cap 40 or 9mm.I have the 9mm and the sights on it are great.Had a heck of a time finding extra mags.
Spectre Firearms has two M9A1s in stock for $415.I don't have one however I do really like those guns and am a fan of Steyr firearms in general. Eventually I'll have to pick up a Steyr M9 I think.
I can understand the concern. The upside is that Steyr is completely supporting users with the problem by replacing the extractors in question.They still havin problems with the extractors on em, I really want one but dont trust em yet.
