Steyr’s long-awaited ATD and ATC hammer-fired 9mm pistols are finally making their way to the U.S. market, and this video covers what American shooters can expect from the new lineup. The ATD “defense” models are aimed at carry and duty use, and the ATC “competition” variants with longer barrels, heavier frames, and optics-ready slides, along with capacities up to 24 rounds. If you’ve been waiting for a metal-frame, DA/SA Steyr with modern features like compensators, 3D-printable grip modules, and red-dot readiness, this first look at the ATD and ATC shows why these pistols are one of the biggest handgun launches of SHOT Show 2026.

    when will the manufacturers get together and standardize on issues like magazines and scope mounts and furniture and rails....

    Wow, what a poor interview. How about asking the caliber and weight of each

    pistol? Steyr has been known for their special barrels (cold hammer-forged with that special spiraling), no mention here.
