Stoeger STR 9C Shooting Impressions

[@oguzbatmaz9996]

I bought 1 years ago 3 magazine and 3 back strips I shot more than 1000 different ammo no hiccup poor man Glock 👍

[@JJoker69]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.... in advance, take care of one another and God bless

[@topalosman2771]

Thank you bro the same to you

[@markvillalon9023]

The STR9 was my very 1st purchase and was what introduced me to the handgun world back in Dec 2019. My 2nd purchase was a FDE color in 2020, in 2021 I purchased the Combat versionI at that time dubbed the STR9 “Glock Killer” since it looked, shot, and felt like a Glock (G19 gen3) at that time. Obviously I have made different purchase from other brands, but those STR9’s still draw my attention. For the price you cannot go wrong at all. What made me move away from them was the aftermarket support there is for STR9’s. Cool little and cheap collection to get going…..which is why I have been eyeing that compact version.

[@ramtak1]

I picked up the sub compact last month and I'm really liking this little pistol so far, it's like an upgraded Glock 26 for a third of the price! Speaking of price gun zone deals has it for $229 and stroger is running a $50 rebate until January 15th which makes it $179 it's a no-brainer for that!! It comes with the medium back strap but Stoeger has them for like $6 and change on their site the budget version with one mag does not come with any back straps and extra mags are $35 unfortunately

[@chrisinshaw4813]

Ordered two last week at $219 before the rebate. Using the rebates to buy an extra mag each (like you said $35). I have pretty big hands so I am expecting to probably have to get the large back strap for mine and maybe the small for my wife's.

[@ramtak1]

@@chrisinshaw4813 nice Chris, went for the double header! You definitely won't be disappointed especially at 269 a pop enjoy your Thanksgiving Chris!

[@iakazul]

The Subcompact is a wonderful firearm and groups my ammo nicely. Got pissed at a local guy show seeing exorbitant prices so I went to Cabela's and got a great deal for $300. Shoots really flat and accurately.

[@ramtak1]

@@iakazul hi Jay, I've had several range outings with mine no problems whatsoever, this little Jewel is highly underrated and still a steal at $300!

[@thepistolguy859]

I got the sc in layaway and mine comes with one mag can't fina an extra mag in stock anywhere

[@gregtaylor5444]

Any time I research a gun I go to your channel, I find your reviews very informative, trustworthy and entertaining. Great review!

[@GBGuns]

Thank you. We try to be fair and provide the information that we'd want to know about a gun, especially if it's something we have to order in.

[@stevenkennedy4130]

I own an STR-9. I was very impress with this pistol. Ergo's are right there with the P-10C and Q5 Match IMO. A very accurate and reliable pistol. I have heard their CS is less than stellar tho. Thanks for the share!! As a side note, I painted the front sight neon orange. (Nail polish.)

[@miketaylorID1]

Stoegers STR9-Combat is well worth a look. Things like Taking away back straps and magazines to make a price point Inevitably leads to a “less than” shooters experience. The combat is the full Monty. It’s a G17 clone with m&p grip angle and all the upgrades!. Threaded match barrel.A flat- faced wide trigger that’s every bit as good as your favorite Glock upgrade. Optics cut with 6 metal adapter plates fits any optic right out of the box. Suppressor height fiber optic sights that cowitness. Removable flared magwell. 3 magazines with mag extensions … you get the idea. It’s well worth a look. Very happy Thanksgiving to you both! Cheers

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

Midwestgunworks has the 13 round magazines in stock @$35 each.

[@TheMajdoc]

Did own 2 of the STR9s. My son liked the 4.17 in barrel so I gave it to him for his birthday and kept the 3.8 in barrel. Only had one problem the 1st time I fired the 4.17. The 3rd mag had 2 failure to eject and one stovepipe. After that have not had any problems. I do carry mine once in a while.

[@JohnScheppler]

Way to be brave Teya with taking on the first shot on a "broken" gun. Stoeger America should be ashamed. A month should be more than enough time to respond. Thanks for the review, but I think I'll pass on it no matter what.

[@derweibhai]

Midwest gun works is the parts and mag supplier. Mags are usually out of stock but run about $35 when available.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

looks like a good shooter.. kinda wish support in the US was better.. You guys have a Good Thanksgiving.. ENJOYED ..👍👍

[@Lomeli_Armory]

I had the compact version in this video and hated it. I traded it for a different firearm. I then bought the full size version and absolutely love it! Amazing how changing the size makes a world of a difference.

[@GBGuns]

Absolutely. A longer slide will be easier to rack and have a smoother recoil impulse, and changing grip length can greatly change the way a gun fits.

[@lesserof2elvis]

To the chagrin of some of my Glock-loving family members, I bought the str-9c a few months ago. I didn't have a chance to shoot it, but it fit my hand better than anything else I could find in that size frame. Besides, it was all I could afford. I've put a couple hundred rounds through it with no issues. I like the aggressive stipling in the Florida humidity, and I actually put extra texture (Talon "sandpaper") in a few places. One is under the beaver tail. It provides tactile validation that the web of my hand is placed properly. I bought mags and backstraps for it at MGW -- very prompt delivery.

[@user-jetmachinist]

I love to see G19 gen3 clone shooting impression . Happy Thanksgiving Graham and Miss Teya !

[@thepistolguy859]

I got the subcompact for fathers day and i feel its the best budget gun. I love taurus guns too for budget but this gun outperforms my g3c the quality seems better in the stoeger and the finish is light-years better than the taurus

[@v.german11b]

Test the top of the line: the *Stoeger STR-9S Combat.* It is stunningly good! One of the best kept secrets in the world of firearms.

[@miketaylorID1]

I agree 100%. It’s a G17 with all the upgrades and more. Great value. Great performance. The jury is still out on reliability

[@v.german11b]

@@miketaylorID1 the *Stoeger STR-9S Combat* is a much highly upgraded Glock. It comes with a threaded barrel for a suppressor or compensator, tactical fiber optic sights co-witnessing with the e-optic, flat face trigger, flared magwell, three 21 rounds magazines, and more features. A grrrreat pistol package at a reasonable fair price.

[@javarjv]

I know this review is a bit older, for people wondering about mags they were available on stoegers website, an no other place that i could find, They have a few options for different size ones on stoeger, most stay sold out, I've never seen the 13 one in stock, the reg or the one with the pinky thing, But they did have the 15rd one's available not that long ago, an they do fit the str-9c, Witch is very hard to find info on, even the people running the website directed me to thier customer service line, But i figured out they worked before hand, Far as i know they do have a set that comes with 2 extra mags an the 3 grip plates, but i couldn't find it, maybe someone else will tho, An in the line they have a version that has optics ready, witch is pretty cool, Now the biggest down side for the mags is they run about 40 a pop, with shipping you are close to or a lil above 50 a pop,,,,,,, yeah they are good mags, better than plastic, but i just wish they were a bit cheaper considering it is a budget piece, or at least more easy to find, An unfortunately far as i know, no after market mags fit it, I've seen some people claim a few other brands do, showed it, but then other people show that it doesn't work, Then other's claim they do work if you cut it to make it fit, sounds like a big hassle an maybe a waste of time/money, an just may not be the best idea, That is the biggest downside to this tool, the lack of aftermarket accessories, I did find a fitted holster that worked, seems like only 2 types of fitted one's were available, an a decent l&l combo that fit, all for a decently low cost, So that is pretty cool, I haven't had 1 malfunction out of it, witch is crazy because a g19x witch costs about double that, did have some malfunctions right out the gate, I think because it needed breaking in, but still, kind of wild how that works, I think all in all if stoeger ups thier game, makes more accessories available for us here, then it will probably do really well, because the tool itself is quality for the most part, It feels like it punches way above it's price tag, An the design of the line, from the str-9 sc, to the c, to the full size, all look great & then the str-9s-combat- model is so beautiful looking, But for the 9c, idk if you could find better in that price range.

[@KombuchaPants]

Seems to be sprung heavy for nato loads. Also a t shirt with the “unabridged” explanation of steel and and aluminum cased ammo would be cool. Great video.

[@GBGuns]

That's a fun idea!

Nice review! I have the compact and full-size. You can pick up 15 round magazines from Joe Bob Outfitters. They are around $37 each.

[@calebhodson7421]

I put a Hogue universal grip on mine so it doesn't have such a rough backstrap. It totally got rid of that and is now smooth. Helps a little with recoil too. :)

12 round magazine or a 13 round magazine online so I had to buy a order a 10 round magazine because it didn't have none in the gun shop so I had ordered from stroger's

[@JJoker69]

Teya, is it jumping in the hand? Pulling to the right after hitting is why I ask

[@GBGuns]

She says the grip was just a little too big for her.

[@Kenn1969]

Hey Tia, when you shoot try to stand up straight not slouching forward; bringing the gun to you not you to the gun. It ends up giving a more stable platform to shoot from.

[@GBGuns]

Leaning forward helps greatly with recoil control as the energy transfers through the body into the rear foot. Standing upright applies leverage to the recoil as it tries to tip you back.

[@Kenn1969]

@@GBGuns I absolutely disagree, and thats okay. Its a handgun, that position puts your head, neck, shoulders, back, etc, in a completely unnatural position. Proper posture will do more to mitigate recoil. It also helps with accuracy. Just trying to help improve peoples shooting. Love the channel.👍

[@GBGuns]

Thank you, but we shoot the way we do after having attended Front Sight, CENTER-T, Thunder Ranch, ITTS, and VerTac accumatively.

[@ms_freemant]

But I'm already standing up, I can't stand up any further .. (Super Trooper reference) My position is developed as a way to get my arms above my womanly figure, you should see me shoot pool .. short people problems

No, u did it

[@sycamorebacker1]

Interesting. You act like shooting fast is some kind of test. LOL By the way --- I like your reviews. They are complete and detailed.

[@GBGuns]

I try to shoot as quickly as is reasonable to test the magazine's ability to keep up. It is possible to outrun some magazines

[@sycamorebacker1]

@@GBGuns Sorry, no. Whether you shoot slow or fast, the previous shot is COMPLETED before the gun can fire again. The next round is loaded instantaneously. If the mag does not load the next round, it will jam BEFORE you pull the trigger. Shooting fast doesn’t change the mechanics.

[@GBGuns]

@@sycamorebacker1 You are correct that the pistol's cycle speed is more dependant and on ammunition than anything else, but if I did a full mag at slow speed the video would take even longer.

Yeah they cost $35 on up they're they're real real cheap they're not drill for that gun or it's only like 35 bucks for one magazine so that's about what it is and if you got a little bit bigger magazine it's about the same price if you go through the stroger website to their factory

[@killacoiler1707]

Here is my take away from your experience, you had an issue with a component failure, you contacted the company for warranty, you have yet to get a reply; that does not provide the common consumer with any degree of comfort or reassurance. If they brush off a publication reviewer/guntuber that is well renown and respected in the firearms community, there is less likely of a chance should an average end consumer experience any failures that they will enjoy any correspondence at all. Sorry but I could care less how amazing or affordable of a firearm they produce, if their customer service and aftercare sucks that bad I will not venture to waste my money on their products. I can overlook flukes in quality of manufacture if the company has excellent customer service and is quick to resolve an issue. I cannot forgive ghosting a consumer when they reach out to you with concerns pertaining to a faulty product. The shame of it is I have handled and was seriously considering this brand of firearm. I am glad that I am not an impulse buyer and always do more research because I am not very lucky and would be the guy needing to make a warranty claim and ultimately would be pissed due to having purchased a paperweight. Thanks for your honesty GB Guns because it isn't only the quality of firearm that people purchase that makes or breaks a deal.

[@GBGuns]

I completely understand your opinion. We purchased this gun (from a retailer) with Patron funding. When I contacted them I did so with my real name, so they had no idea who I was. I have been contacted by them since but I declined any special treatment, told them I'd await a reply to my original consumer email. We do have another Stoeger in for review that I hope will be a different experience. When the part broke it may have been partially my fault, but I consider myself to have a decent amount of experience handling pistols and have never had one break on my before during the tabletop video. I believe it was a fluke, but agree the customer service department needs some attention.

[@ottolatimer9175]
