The Steyr SPP (Special Purpose Pistol) is a semi-automatic variant of the TMP. The TMP's barrel and barrel jacket lengths were increased slightly so there is a greater length of protruding jacket and barrel. The forward tactical handle was removed and a small spur installed instead.
The SPP is believed to have been created in order to fulfill the pistol portion of the XVII
Land Warrior objective handheldpersonal defense weapon . It is somewhat large for a pistol and is constructed mainly from synthetic materials.Brügger & Thomet MP9
