I owned one, because I was interested in gas operated pistols like the P7.
On paper they are wonderful. In fact, one of the "wonder nines."
In practice it's an enormous turd that I don't recommend anyone buy if they enjoy shooting. If you want it for its lil blip in history, fine. If you want it to run like a Glock? Fuck off.
It is on my list of shittiest most overated guns I've owned. Dirty, finicky with ammo, feels like a brick with a flacid wang for a trigger...
Don't pay a lot, you won't get a lot..

There’s pictures of it on the previous page. It’s a Steyr.

Just an excuse to post that video. I passed on a few opportunities to buy a GB when the prices were reasonable because I once read an article on the Rogak and didn't realize the Steyr was quality product.

I have the parkerized version that came with one mag. A week ago I was at a shop pawing through a box marked misc. mags and found another for $34.

Is the frame supposed to be all "crinkly" like that?

Yes on the "commercial" version. The "military" version was just parkerized and fewer were made as I recall.
