Steyr Pistol History Stats on TheFiringLine

petej88 · November 11, 2000, 05:09 AM

The Steyr pistol has been racking up messages since Oct, 99 --- over a 100 with some fairly long threads.

I was curious about finding out about the negative comments and how many different people had submitted them.

So I created a simple score card to get a general pulse of the Steyr threads -- nothing scientific or extremely detailed. I did this in one session.

Since everybody knows I'm a Steyr pistol fan, I excluded my comments from the following stats, in order not to skew it

Category Definitions and Results:

1. Negative -- People who have shot the Steyr and do not think it's a mature product yet.
RESULT: 14 (note: 10 out of 14 messages were by the same two people.)

2. Theoretically Against It -- People who have not shot it, but don't like it based on handling it in a store, and/or based on others' views.
RESULT: 27

3. Theoretically For It -- People who have not shot it, but like it based on handling it in a store, and/or based on others' views.
RESULT: 54

4. Positive With One or More Complaints-- People who have shot it and like it, but had to work through some issues or a rough break-in period.
RESULT: 23

5. Positive -- People who shoot it and like it and are not having issues.
RESULT: 90

6. Curious -- People who are just interested and asked questions.
RESULT: 136

What category did I make?

Still waiting for that big LE/military contract and a _real_ track record. Ya know, shoot 20K each through 6 guns like the FBI did w Glock, or pick it and use it and renew the contract a few yrs later like the INS/BP did w Beretta and the DEA did w SIG and Glock...

Shows promise fa shure!

Your stats look good, but so do S&Ms.

I put you in the curious category at this time, since you need some third party proof points, etc.
