Notes
Technically based on the LP 10 platform with evolutionary refinements. The standard Evo 10 uses a mechanical trigger; the Evo 10 E variant uses an electronic trigger. A shorter, lighter Compact version (350mm, 901g) is also offered for shooters with smaller frames.
Background
Steyr's 10m match pistols, from the LP 1 through the LP 10 and now the Evo 10, have been a fixture on Olympic and World Cup firing lines, prized for their balance and the famously light, crisp ball-bearing trigger.
