Better than Glock? Stoeger STR-9 intro, first shots, features, and review

[@ToadleyBrowne]

You narration and knowledge about these pistols was very enjoyable. I especially liked the in depth discussion about gun locks.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

LOL thanks Toad

[@tikwainadams5033]

It's not a crappy firearm, it's a great firearm for the price!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

That’s the truth

[@theshootindutchman]

I'm picking one up on Friday at a black Fridays sale. $249 sale price with a $75 mail in rebate😄! That makes this a $150 9mm pistol🙏👍

[@kennethgammon9303]

The STR9 is a big improvement over the Glock. I have about 2000 rounds thru mine with no issues.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Good to hear!

[@dotarachismith8350]

Don’t ever disrespect Glock like that again 😂

[@jeffshootsstuff]

LOL

[@greko137]

I have both 9c and 9sc solid pistol over a 1,000 round on the 9c no issues 9sc 600 round zero issue as well 115 grain 124, 147 steel aluminum brass hollow point eats everything..

Two99! Dang. Have you had your hands on a PSA Dagger? I have always wondered how those two handguns would compare to each other.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

No but I hear good things. I love PSA generally

[@rustyshackleford1877]

I have only a couple hundred rounds through mine, but color me impressed so far. $269 with a $50 rebate.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Yeah it’s awesome for the price for sure

[@CarlosGARCIA-nz3eu]

Is this gun new right out of the box?

[@rustyshackleford1877]

@@CarlosGARCIA-nz3eu I bought it new

[@danielbrunner7730]

My STR9C is my day to day carry about 80% of the time! I have red dot ready model that i got for $199 after $100 sale and $50 mail in rebate! Ironically i had never heard of the gun until i was on way to store snd was listening to a comparison video of pistols under $400 and they were raving about it! I went in looking for a tps9sfx canik which sportsman warehouse didn't have and walked out with that seriously 25 mins later! Was fastest gun purchase i ever made! LoL i did get the tps9sfx the next day at Dunham's but still that night was thinking what did i just buy... Found out i absolutely love it!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

That’s great! How do you like the Canik?

[@danielbrunner7730]

@@jeffshootsstuff Ha! I absolutely loved it! I now actually have 3 of them! I had a TPS9DA as well but traded that and a G2C in on a Canik elite SC! I also have a white digital camo pattern Mete SFT. I traded the G2C in because I bought a G3C Toro and after I purchased the Mete I no longer really needed the iron sights only Tps9da!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Cool beans

[@ALFAJERKBFH]

Just picked mine up today. Dry as a bone. I had to oil it up right off the bat. Can't wait to try it.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Hope you like it!

[@POPJack1717]

Personally, I liked this gun better than Glock and I own a Glock 19. The trigger is better, the grip is better and feels more 1911ish, gun points better, has better serrations and ofcourse is close to half the price of a Glock. Very underrated gun. If I had to describe this gun, it would be if Glock and the M&P had a baby.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

That’s a very good description.

[@bobbygrey5859]

I got mine for $199 at Cabela's just over 700 rounds and it runs just as good as all my CZ.'s & 1911'S. Now this is in my rotation for EDC it ate and spit every type of ammo i ran through it with not one issue. Amazing for the price. I may do some videos in the near future too.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Excellent!

[@mwilson5582]

Got 1 two weeks ago. I’ve already put several hundred rounds to it. I haven’t had one single problem at all. I seriously think that you got should need to check this gun out.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Cool!

[@dkruitz]

Cheap doesnt mean crappy.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Not necessarily

[@bowendavis2465]

ah yes, but can u do a review on the Stoeger STR-10? 👀

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Haven’t heard of that one…

[@timd729]

Oh the 10mm version, hell yeah man, review that next 😁

[@jeffshootsstuff]

I will when they make one. If you pay for the ammo 😆

[@mayorofthecity3148]

Very nice video I bought a stoeger str-9 9mm and luv it

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Cool!

[@RVMdiscgolf]

It's a great gun and I love mine, but all proprietary parts and Stoeger hasn't had anything in stock for months. Can't even find night sights for it.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Yeah they should have definitely used M&P or Glock sights for compatibility.

[@JacekNoLasName]

Mags dont interchange with glock or sig. Apart of that after 1500 rounds, not even one jam. Eats all.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Thanks for the report!

[@padrefrancisco66]

Good review. Thanks

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ThomasSimmons-j9l]

The mags are 35 bucks it comes with one . 2 extra magazines would run $ 84 with shipping and tax

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Yep! Thanks

[@JesseLomas]

Is there a safety switch??

[@jeffshootsstuff]

There is a passive firing pin/striker block safety and a trigger safety but no manual thumb safety lever if that’s what you mean.

[@JesseLomas]

@@jeffshootsstuff oh ok! Could you do a video on it perhaps? 🙏

[@dokmuzic8774]

It fits in a Recover Tactical P-IX 😁

ITS HARD TO BEAT FOR THE MONEY

Indeed!

[@moose9410]

I have a stoeger str9 full size. CAN SOMEONE please tell me if a glock 17 gen 3/4 recoil spring assembly will fit in the stoeger str9 full size?? the recoil spring is weak causing failure to go into battery issues/

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Yes it will fit and function in the Stoeger. I made a video short for you if interested. You can NOT put the Stoeger RSA into the Glock. The guide rod nose is too large to fit through the Glock slide hole.

Still a good deal on a good gun

[@FishingWithGilbert509]

I just got me one one for $400 I was worried because people saying that gun jams up I hope not this my second pew pew my first one is a Glock 43x I just wanted a smaller gun carry

Isn’t the 43X quite a bit smaller than this?

[@MrHillbilly9000]

Do you know if the Stoeger str-9 magazines fit in a str-9F?

[@jeffshootsstuff]

I believe the frames are identical so the magazines should interchange.

[@Sandhill1988]

He is my problem with this platform. Ultimately , the cost of extra magazines keep stopping me from making the purchase. Literally it's another glock clone and a glock clone should take glock magazines that are common and reasonably affordable. If you want one extra magazine for the STR-9 By the time you paid for shipping it's gonna cost you $50.00. You want 3 extra magazines you've just about bought the gun again. This in my opinion was a deliberate move by Stoger to have a Back doorway way of bumping up the revenue on the platform. I also have an ethical issue with that. In my opinion, I would just get another clone there is plent out there that take the readily available and much more affordable glock pattern magazines.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Valid points.

[@Sandhill1988]

@@jeffshootsstuff Thanks.

[@patrickstone4125]

Buds has a deal on the STR 9, which comes with 2 mags for 220. Non optic, which is perfect for me. Hard decision between the standard and the 9F. Great video!

Thanks!

[@patrickstone4125]

I checked today and it's up to 249. still a good deal though.

[@moose9410]

I ended up getting rid of the stoeger str9, it was just so big. It shot nicely, had a stovepipe or two. Nothing crazy. But now carry m&p compact.

Yeah for carry this would be a big commitment.

I owned a bunch of cheap guns in my life. This gun did not feel like a budget gun. The slide on mine is good and it has a 4 & half pound trigger. This isnt a hi point, you dont need to go full gun bro.

LOL never go full gun bro

[@RobertAmsden-p3i]

Better than Glock 😂 Resale value, trade in $25😂

[@jeffshootsstuff]

lol fair point

[@TnBassman]

$25 resale is def making a joke, but... I can't see ever wanting to sell either my STR-9 or STR-9SC. For reference, my other daily drivers are S&W and Glock. 2,500+ rds through the full size, and 6-700 rds through the SC, both wearing like iron and fun every time (and the triggers just get better with use...). I bought them to shoot until they won't anymore, looks like that will take some time.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Good to hear!

[@darinmiller2405]

A Stoeger upper will fit a Glock lower
