Steyr SPP 9mm worth it?

[ant_bj]

A friend of mine is trying to sell me a steyr SPP. I see it as an off-roaster pistol. At what price point should I accept it? Is it worth it to own one? As collectible?

The design was sold to B&T and now it is sold as the TP9. B&T fans say the TP9 really shines as an SBR, but as a pistol, it is awkward.

The TP9 is probably one of the few B&T guns I’d never own.

He is willing to sell for $1500 but I think it’s still over price. For 1700 ish I can legally import a ps90

No. It's nothing any more special or capable than a Glock.

The TMP makes sense. But in semi-auto, it's essentially a Glock - but with the top-end the size of a brick, and not as accurate as a Glock.

Don't waste your money.

OK. My pair. Consecutive serial numbers.

Trust me on this - they look cool, but it's just a giant Glock with magazines that cost 5 times as much as a Glock magazines.

Feels like it too.

Hahaha ok you convinced me not to get it. Really not ready to drop 1500 on that.

That's one hideous looking gun!

Unless you are a big counter strike fan it wont be worth it. I am and i bought a lot of the terriorist guns.

Or if you are a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Falcon.

I bought one back in 1994. It's basically a tacticool 9mm Glock. I sold it it 1999, and have had no regrets.

Nice - you must have paid around $699 for it at the time... used to see these in Shotgun News for that price, tagline for the ad was "Very Neat!" or something similar. Did wish I picked one up at the time as well, though I guess it seems the consensus here is that it's not worhwhile.. Does make for a nice conversation piece though.
