There are differences between the M40A1 and the M40. I can't fill in all the details but check out SteyrClub.com. There is a wealth of specific knowledge there.

I love my M40-A1 and have had no real problems. It has failed to eject twice in about the 4000 rounds I've put through it. I bought it used...hard to say how many rounds it had put through it because nothing has changed since when I bought it and now 4000 later. Both malfunctions happened with a friend who I believe to limp wrist the gun. I carry mine every single day in a K&D Dakota Defender and at about 3:00 or 3:30 it just disappears. I've been looking into getting a M9-A1 if I can scrape together the funds.
