Two years later the STR-9 is still a great pistol, I just ordered a STR-9F for 157.00 after a 75.00 rebate...what a steal!

[@analogman1496]

Affordable and reliable for a decent price is a great thing. Handled one this past weekend and was impressed. Run a few hundred military ball rds. thru it to break it in. Clean and lube and cycle the trigger and slide for another 200 rds. and it will feel even better. A great entry level or truck gun for sure.

[@PvssMyGloxk]

Screw the hate messages. I didn’t clean my g3c the whole first year carrying it. Took it too the range recently and it ran like it needed to.

[@BonesGrave-e2x]

That is awesome, but you should clean your pistol. It is good for the gun. Taurus has come a long way, and they are building great pistols for the price. They're awesome. They opened a factory in Georgia. When you buy a Taurus pistol, look for the Georgia stamp on the gun. They are making great, reliable guns out of that factory.

[@zonseeker08]

I purchased mine in August 22, & so far after 200+ FMJ, JHP 115G 124G & 147G no failures or issues and the back strap was tolerable for a working mans hands, not desk jockeys. The site paint is still there. It is highly accurate at 25 yards shooting 5" targets. I recommend it.

[@DRAGONRIDER385]

Looks like a nice pistol. A lot of us right handed shooters shoot low left. Thanks for the video.

[@buncha5651]

I have had the str-9f for a few months now love it came with flat trigger, 2 mags ans 3 back straps. Great shooter never had a malfunction. Have had 2 Glocks have sold both. This Stoger is far superior fit in the hand and trigger .

Awesome, thanks for the comment

The models that come with the Flat trigger are the newer models.

I have always heard good things about stoeger shotguns, my daughter has a stoeger air rifle, but now I'm intrigued with this pistol!

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

I seen this one about 6 months ago on a web site and no one had it. Finally found it and very impressed with it. There shotguns are great too lol

[@theappalachianway8522]

Slick looking little pistol

[@WorkingClassFishingPodcast]

Looks like a fun plinker!

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

Very impressed with it. Just as good as a Smith and Wesson and a blast to shoot

[@Tony-vh2ik]

Love mine as well. So accurate. I've only put 83 rounds through it so far with no problems. Used Remington UMC 115 grain fmj and a few rounds of Winchester 147 grain jhp.

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

Fantastic, I am liking it a lot. Thanks for the comment Tony

[@Tony-vh2ik]

@@brianinthewildcolorado2778 It was my Christmas present to myself. I've only ever had a .32 revolver for 25 years and haven't shot it in at least 20 years. This is my first centerfire handgun. The 9mm is more powerful than I was expecting. That first shot was a real "Holy Crap!" moment. I heard the grip was aggressive but I never noticed it once for the hour and a half I shot it. The mag springs are pretty stiff and the mag loader that came with it was appreciated. I haven't heard of the white dot coming off, that's ridiculous.

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

@@Tony-vh2ik fantastic, glad you got it. Yeah I’ve never had a site pop off like that lol. I used some cleaner about 15 years ago that my uncle made and it took painted sites right off. I’m going to look for some good replacements, for now I filled the little hole with orange glow in the dark paint. Thanks for watching the video, happy new year

[@Tony-vh2ik]

@@brianinthewildcolorado2778 I've ran about 700 rounds through it now. Using Winchester 124 grain Nato rounds and also aluminum case blazer. I did a mag dump and got my first stovepipe after around 5 of the Nato rounds. Might've limpwristed it. Finished the mag dump with no problems. No problems since. I've just gotten a Girsan Regard MC and have ran maybe 4 hundred rounds through that beautiful thing. I can't get enough of these two Turks! Spending too much on ammo for sure.

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

@@Tony-vh2ik awesome, I’ll heading out tomorrow with mine. Hoping to get a few hundred through it. It’s so close to the M&P I may be selling this one and getting another budget friendly pistol to review. Thanks for all the comments. Really helps people out to see what others have experienced!

[@clintondybala7684]

I traded my sig p320 for one ,absolutely love it my accuracy is amazing compared to the 320 only thing is the spring like you say hopefully it will loosen up.

[@jpdaddy678]

Just purchased one..cleaned it and oiled it..50 rounds of 124 grain new republic and then 50 rounds of 115 grain blazer brass..shot perfect..i have quite a few 9mm pistols and this one is really nice in my opinion

[@jpdaddy678]

Ps I dry fired it probably 300 times too

[@guynall4025]

Picked up a stoger srt9 2 days ago took to range yesterday had 2 fail to eject with 115 grain ammo but ate up 124 grain like a champ love it so far people have to remember stoger just introduced this gun in 2019 so ther are some bugs to work out I habe the 2021 version and love it

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

Awesome, a little spring break in and hopefully it ejects 115 just fine. Thanks for the comment Guy

[@kennethgammon9303]

1000 flawless rounds through mine.

[@Beyondthebite2024]

Im having problems with mine. Shooting Winchester 115gr and having so many stovepipes and double feeds. I am thinking ammo is underpowered since recoil spring on my gun is stupidly heavy. probably the heaviest recoil I have ever had. Have to try 124gr and see what happens but should be able to shoot 115 without any issues... might have to go back to Stoeger for repair.

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

Oh dang, sorry your dealing with that. Yeah definitely get some communication with Stoeger going on that. Let me know what happens with it, thanks for the comment

[@almatt8310]

Most European pistols are designed around 124gr NATO (roughly SAAMI +P) and so is the Stoeger STR. Leave the slide racked back for a few days and your troubles will mostly go away. It'll still like the 124gr +P ammo the best though. Don't give up. It's a great gun 👍

[@Beyondthebite2024]

@@almatt8310 I sold this gun. Not reliable.

[@JamesHackett-kv4ki]

😢mine is it's inerds are identical to a Glock 17

[@BonesGrave-e2x]

It says in the book to shoot 124gr for break in. That is what I did and mine is reliable. It shoots 115gr and lower without any problems. I have heard that these pistols can be picky with the 115gr ammo FMJ. I followed the directions and did not have any issues. I have a 900 round-count so far.

[@almatt8310]

Good, honest review 👍 There is a reason why they make ice cream in different flavors. You're free to have your own expectations from the firearms that tou purchase. Haters gonna hate anyway. Who cares 😀 ?

[@34dawgsgo]

Couldn't help but comment, I've struggled mightily removing the slide from lower on my new STR 9.

[@cmk3192]

I liveng in turkey I decided to buy stoeger str 9 thx to do video

[@BonesGrave-e2x]

how much did it cost in Turkey?

[@larrywurtz3807]

Haven't been able to shoot mine too much yet but I've seen it shot of by many many youtubers and I have yet to see one malfunction

[@JerielWilliam]

I love my stoker 9mm straight on

[@wahivalleys3011]

I like my Stoeger STR-9, which is part of the Benelli family, not S&W, even though the trigger is a bit "spongy"! Wahi' Valleys

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

Yes, I mentioned it looked like an S&W, very close. I am very impressed with this budget pistol. Thanks for the comment Wahi Valleys

[@BabuMirdha8160]

So nice

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

I can’t wait to head to the range again with it.

[@34dawgsgo]

Stoeger has it right IMO. Would rather have a cheap cardboard box reducing the overall cost than a nicer plastic case that I will never use again, presentation only.

[@danielpadgett2831]

You think 10 dollars would cover the cost of a case? Great review

[@SB-mw1bg]

Glock internals

[@Kamingo170]

Not a good handgun. Had to replace it with a Glock because it had constant stove pipes and fte issues constantly. Never trust your life with this gun imo

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

Thank you for the comment, great info. I’ll keep on eye on those issues.

[@Kamingo170]

@@brianinthewildcolorado2778 I just think people should save the extra 150$ and get a Glock or another reliable name like Springfield or something.

@@Kamingo170 good point. Me personally I’ve had a few glocks and dislike them. I even shot one for 2 years in competition and still not a fan. There great point and shoot firearms I just do not like them. I do agree, save a bit longer and get a higher quality manufacturer. I’m very interested to go out 1000 rounds thru the Stoeger and see what happens

@@brianinthewildcolorado2778 Yea I hear that alot. Glock suits me well just for my hand and I like the feel and simple approach. To each their own I guess lol

you should have had 124gr instead of 115gr ;)
