Your STEYR pistol does not have a manual safety and will fire if the trigger is pulled when there is a round in the chamber. Although STEYR pistols have several internal safeties, designed to prevent an unintentional discharge if the pistol is dropped or hit, the proper and safe function of your STEYR pistol depends on it being used for its intended purpose and not being altered or modified.
