This was the best, most professional review that I have watched regarding firearms! Thank you sir.

[@davedemayo5241]

I completely agree! Very professional and intelligent review. Thank you.

LoL, business ain't "slow" right now!

[@kskisser]

I was gonna say the same thing! Just found one at Academy Sports today. Mags are almost impossible to find atm

[@JGlanville]

Business slow now? 😏

[@KenAdams76]

I bought one. Took it to the range. Mags fell out smoothly, no stovepipes, no issues. I hammered 200 rounds as fast as possible and performed perfectly. I ordered a couple more mags and I’m VERY pleased. I appreciate the very detailed review this guy does. Intelligent and articulate guy for sure.

[@JGarcia-uy7sq]

You still have it? If so, any problems with it?

[@stevencochran68]

Bought mines a few weeks ago with tritium sights. Shoots very nice. All mags drop freely. No issues at all! Very nice gun!

[@mavzer1754]

First 1000 production had a lot of issues. After those party, they fixed all of their problems. Greets from Turkey.

[@blackchromelife1692]

Could you elaborate on those issues?

@@blackchromelife1692 some trigger and magazine issues,but they fixed all of them. New products are awesome.

[@philipthomas5834]

I just ordered one today, for $250!! You can't beat that at all... I'm willing to bet it's a better gun than the Glock... this gun just proves what I been saying, that majority guns $500+ are over priced!!

[@lrcopeland09]

My STR 9 had constant stovepipes with multiple ammo brands and grains, also the common "mag wouldn't drop free" problem. I have seen reviews where both have happened. I returned it to Stoeger for repair. I received it back in about two weeks. (one week was the 4th of July week) They said the guide rod spring was too stiff, causing the slide to close too fast. They replaced the guide rod assembly. They also removed excess casting from the mag well. Now the mag drops out perfectly. I had only one failure to feed, but they polished the feed ramp as well.They say they shot 50 rounds through it with no problem. I have to take it back to the range to test it. Other than the the malfunctions, the gun feels and shoots great.

I have 1000 rounds... range, new, reloads, 147 gr, 115, hollow points, polymer covered.... zero issues

[@IamONaLIST]

Took someone to the range and everytime he shot the gun had issues. When I shot.... no issues. We filmed it and he had a much more relaxed grip, kind of limp wristing it. When he gripped it firmer and controlled the recoil better, it cleared up

[@bobafettuccine3541]

Very, very good review. I could listen to this guy talk about any firearm. Job well done sir.

[@bagboyjayvo4178]

Same thing with me have u found a fix?

[@stevenkennedy4130]

Just picked one up at PSA. $311.00, out the door! The Stoeger STR-9, is prolly the best budget gun for 2020. Put a CT weapon light on it, and call it done. 700 rounds through mine, without fail. Ergo's are right their with my P-10C, & Q5 Match. Thanks for the share!!

[@jonhaugen5799]

Another great honest review of what seems to be a really good pistol. I love the amount of affordable handguns that have been coming out these last few years. The $400.00 and under market is getting better and better.

[@Anthonyandgabie]

I just bought one today. And everything he said is spot on. I like it a lot.. a good buy. That's for sure

[@misterexponential]

Stovepipes? Lock the slide back when not in use to ease recoil spring tension, run it well lubed. Stiff mag springs? My Shield would not fully load w/o a magulla for a year of being fully loaded. Be patient.

[@eldridgedavis]

Patience is what so many lack..

The quality of this review is remarkable. Can't find a better informative video to date on the Stoeger STR-9. Thank you sir 🤙🏼.

[@MrSaokid4463]

i bought one from a local pawn shop for 229.99, it just ate everything i feed it, man! Very good gun! i still have it, its my everyday carry gun and i recently bought me a brand new glock 17 gen 5 for X-Mas. haha that one stays at home.

[@ragnarthefearless9235]

I won one recently at my local gun shop. So far I've put 500rds of my handloads and 200rds of Blazer 115gr fmj threw it. Had one stovepipe from Blazer ammo. Fit finish is great. Ergonomics are spot on fits my hand like a glove. I'm definitely impressed with the quality and reliability for such a low priced handgun. Hopefully it continues to perform well but time will tell and round count. Not bad for 50bucks worth of raffle tickets. Edit: I bought 5 extra mags so I had 8 mags. They were all hard as hell to load at first but they've loosened up from use.

[@nightbane727]

The break in metal mags faster I've always read and found that leaving them loaded for over 24 hours works like a charm

[@gymreaper1728]

Weak ammo tends to eject poorly,premium ammo tends to eject properly...great review.

[@fourn7wenty]

Very informative and professional review. thanks Alan 🤙

[@TheJoe89jan]

Does anyone know another alternative magazine that is compatible with the Stoeger STR 9? I want to buy a longer extended magazine that holds 32 rounds.

[@RICKYCHAVEZ1980]

Loved the video. Very informative, very professional attitude, awesome knowledge, and a great way to make a review. I have the stoeger str-9 and I love it. No issues, no jamming, and very accurate. I think it also depends on what rounds you use. Thanks for the video I look forward to more.

[@earljmartinez]

Just got my STR 9 about a week ago. Great feel to it. Loving the glock like appearance. It just looks so good.

[@UnknownUser_0000]

Just got this pistol loading mags is tough but damn this gun is butter smooth.

[@coldcanuck6091]

If you are open to a suggestion? Toss that Stoeger-labelled loader and buy an aftermarket loader, often referred to as an UpLuLa. The included loader doesn't insert the cartridges into the mag at the right angle and that increases the effort needed to insert the rounds easily. Even brand new, with the UpLuLa, I was able to consistently fill the magazines.

[@richardjolly3187]

We bought the STR-9 and got a lemon. It jammed every other round. The take down lever fell out of the gun when cleaning. Sent it back to Stoeger free of charge to see what they do. Will let you know what happens.

[@wccrispy]

Did they send you a replacement?

[@richardjolly3187]

They reworked our gun. It fires like it should now, but has the scars to show its hard life.

[@frankammirati3385]

Only review I’ve so far mention the tridium sights they are an extremely nice touch and at this price point I don’t see any other manufacturers offer that feature out of the box , though you forgot to mention the oversized trigger guard yet another nice addition for those with large hands and long fingers like I have , I own several pistols and this by far ranks up there with some higher end pistols in quality and features they I’ve paid almost double for , with that said this turned out to be my go too as a result of my larger hands , you gotta keep in mind now a days it’s very hard to find a compact or even a subcompact that will fit larger hands comfortably so for me between the ergonomics of the grip and trigger guard that’s a huge bonus for me and it’s all under 400 . Lastly I feel very unsafe firing a gun that does not fit my hands very well when I pull that trigger and stoeger seems to have the larger hand concept in mind .

[@johncoleman2990]

Great review. Just put one on layaway last month. I got the third package with three magazines; three back straps; loader; night sights, and lock.

[@neckofthewoodsupdated7549]

[@ghettoquadcopterpilot2227]

I have one and also noticed that the extractor is weak and doesn’t launch the brass with authority. Mine had a 8 lb trigger pull so I sent it in for service and it now has a 4-5 lb trigger pull. They replaced the trigger assembly.

from Turkey, same issue not fall freely from 2 0f 3 backstrap so that i use one of them. 3 mags and plastic bag are ok for 450$ in Turkey market. sometimes eject issue took place and feeding issue from the mags 3-4 time per 100shoots.

[@gregoryharrison4163]

I used a magazine loader that had a thicker tab that pushes the casing down better and slightly more forward than the original magazine loader. The original seems to not push the casing down far enough at the front. I used Hornady Critical Defense JHP ammo and it might load better with different bullet profiles.

I broke my clip trying to remove the backstrap because the instructions weren't clear to me either. Stoeger replaced it with no issues. I have had no issues since. I've been very happy with this gun. Great review. Wish I would have seen this review before I bought as it would have been more helpful. I learned more about this gun. I did have some stove pipes but I have reduced the amount since I paid more attention to loading my clips and one of the things I did was I stopped using the speed loader

[@1968CudaGuy]

Picked up one of the basic box specials used at Cabelas in Acworth Georgia last month. Came with the gun and two magazines for $200 plus tax. Ordered 3 more mags for $31.99 each plus $4.99 shipping. The gun had maybe a box put thru it with no ringing on the barrel or rubbing showing on the chamber hood or bolt face.. Brought it home and took it apart for a good cleaning and manipulation testing. Ended up ordering a small back strap for it from Stoeger USA.. Of the five magazines only one will drop free with no shaking or disruptive movement. Put about a 100 rounds of Fiocci 115gr 9mm thru it during break in and ran into several stovepipes or incomplete ejection/extraction of the cases. Moved to some NATO standard 124gr Winchester 9mm White box from Academy and extraction issues went away almost completely. Had several boxes of Remington Golden Sabre 124gr and 147gr 9mm rotated out of carry guns and the STR-9 really liked that ammo. No failures and cases were much more forcefully ejected than the Fiocci 115gr or Nato standard 124gr. After around 600 rounds put thru her I'm having very few failures from anything other than the crappiest Atlanta Arms and Ammo 9mm that some ranges make you shoot in their facilities. My reloads with Hornaday's XTP bullets, 115gr and 124gr, cycle perfectly and predictably toss the spent shells out forward and to the right.. Testing a new load of 124gr Berry's plated RN bullets next week that I expect 1000-1100fps out of. Kydex holsters for a G17/22 with adjustable retention work pretty well. Didn't have much luck with holsters for Smith and Wesson M&P 9's or 40's.. Making a holster for mine with a Protec 230 lumen light so I can move it to an evening and low light carry option.

I bought a Stoeger STR-9S Combat, their top of the line. It comes with fiber optic tactical high sights, a threaded barrel 4.7" with front and back serrations on the slide, RDO optics ready cut, a smooth flat trigger, an aluminum magwell, 3 backstraps, and three 20 rounds magazines included (yes, 3 mags are included). The internal mechanism is a clone of a Glock Gen 3. I ran 400 rounds through it. Had ZERO malfunctions, no issues, it is very accurate. ALL that for $499 dollars plus tax. An equivalent Glock would cost around $900 plus. I am very happy and impressed with the quality of this Stoeger model.
