ASG Steyr L9-A2 (CO2)

The tough-looking handgun for the serious player.

The Steyr L9-A2 airsoft pistol takes the robust, aggressive styling and design of the 9mm real steel version and replicates it to a perfection – demanding your attention instantly.

With a distinct military feel and matte black finish, the L9-A2 is an attractive proposition for Milsim enthusiasts that want a tactical sidearm with well-thought-out ergonomics and accuracy to match.

When it comes to mounting add-ons, the L9-A2 pistol has an underslung full picatinny rail at the front, for attachments such as a laser or flashlight, upping its already excellent CQB capabilities.

The polymer frame provides a lightweight and balanced configuration, while the improved, slightly bowed, textured-grip panels and extended beaver tail improve grip and control.

When it comes to performance, the L9 can be powered by gas or CO2, has an adjustable hop-up, and provides excellent shooting performance while keeping the power at a comfortable 0.8J, allowing it to be used at practically any site.

The Steyr L9 A2 pistol comes into its own as a primary CQB weapon or as a sidearm option in a loadout. Veteran airsofters will appreciate the combination of its looks, ergonomics, close quarters shooting accuracy and ranged shooting that very much that belies its ‘pistol’ classification.

History

Seen as the next step in Steyr’s continued evolution of its semi-automatic pistol range, the fourth-generation real steel Steyr L9-A2 was introduced in 2019 and features a polymer frame and steel slide and was designed with the intention of it having some modular capability.

Industry commentators and consumers alike have praised the pistol’s robust, aggressive-looking appearance that very much sets it apart from most other sidearms on the market today.

The L9-A2 pistol and its two other size variants – M9 (Medium) and C9 (Compact) will represent Steyr’s sidearm offering well into the late 2020s and beyond.
