Here’s what Stoeger has to say about the STR-9:

Building upon its legacy of manufacturing quality firearms at an affordable price, Stoeger introduces the all-new STR-9 striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol. Chambered in 9mm with a 15+1 capacity, the STR-9 blends form and function to create an all-around solution for everyday carry, home protection or fun at the range.

The STR-9 features a corrosion-resistant black nitride finish, available interchangeable backstrap grips for a custom fit and 4.17-inch barrel for easy concealment and quick deployment. With an overall length of 7.44 inches and weighing 1.5 pounds, the STR-9 is designed for personal protection without breaking the bank.

Rugged and reliable, the STR-9’s grip angle is engineered to match the drift-adjustable, three-dot sights for true target alignment and combines with a low-bore axis for reduced muzzle rise to quickly reacquire targets for follow-up shots. Aggressive front and back slide serrations provide a firm grasp with or without gloves. A smooth-pulling, crisp trigger houses an internal safety for extra security.

For an added benefit, an accessory rail accepts a wide variety of pistol and laser lights for low-light conditions. The reversible magazine release allows for right- and left-handed shooting. Durable and reliable, the STR-9 delivers the perfect personal defense pistol at an economic price. The new STR-9 comes with one magazine, lock and loader and has an MSRP of $349.

The Stoeger STR-9 might just go down as the best new handgun under $400 coming out of the 2019 SHOT Show. It is also one that might be missed by a lot of people who don’t recognize the Stoeger Industries name.

Before the annual trade show, news about the 9mm pistol leaked out. I was immediately interested, as Stoeger had done a very good job producing the Cougar pistols. The Cougar was a Beretta design that had largely been abandoned as Beretta pursued new designs like the PX4 Storm and APX pistols.

Update

Palmetto State Armory now has these in stock. At the time of this writing, the price was less – substantially less – than the MSRP.

Stoeger picked up the Cougar and continued the manufacturing of those pistols. Stoeger Cougars were widely regarded as being an excellent value in the self defense handgun market. Nevertheless, the guns seemed to take a back seat to the polymer-framed, striker-fired handguns like those from Glock and Smith & Wesson.

It seems that Stoeger has abandoned the Cougar pistol and has put all of its weight behind the new STR-9.

The STR-9 is everything that a modern defensive pistol seems to need for success. In fact, if there is a manufacturing checklist somewhere, I bet it has nearly every box ticked.

As a striker-fired pistol, the shooter has a consistent trigger pull from one shot to the next. Having shot and trained others to shoot traditional double action/single action (DA/SA) pistols, I can say that the consistency of a striker-fired pistol is much easier to learn. Every time you press the trigger, it feels the same. This is appealing to many people.

Polymer frames are a normal part of the shooting world. When done right, these frames are every bit as durable as a metal frame in most circumstances. I’m not talking edge case here – just average Joe self-defense guns. Once the manufacturing is set up, polymer frames can be much less expensive to make. This allows the company to keep the guns affordable.

Matching the tool to the user is an important concept. In the case of handguns, there have been a variety of methods developed to help do this.

Stoeger uses an interchangeable backstrap system to help get a good hand fit on the pistol no matter how large or small your hands are. I’ve got medium hands, but relatively stubby fingers. This makes proper finger placement on the trigger something of a challenge with pistols like the Beretta 92. But using small backstraps on a handgun like the STR-9 improves my trigger reach.

Left-handed shooters might be interested to know that the magazine release is reversible. With just a few minutes of work, you can move the push button release to the right side of the frame.

As we’ve seen in the past few years, the shooting public has come to appreciate the 9mm cartridge again. I saw the major shift to the “Wonder 9” semi-auto pistols in the 80s, then to the .40 S&W in the 90s. Now, the public seems to have shifted pretty quickly back to the 9×19 again.

It is a proven cartridge that has the largest base of active shooters in the US today. I’ve seen some of the ammunition sales numbers from a few of the major companies. If you make a gun or ammo, ignore the 9mm fans at your own peril.

Three dot sights aren’t my favorite, but they seem to be the default position for many companies. Stoeger selected them for this pistol. You can get a factory model that has three dot night sights for a little more money. If you like night sights, this might be the best option for you.

One of the features I do like about the sights is that the rear sight has a hard front edge. This allows a shooter to run the slide with only one hand in an emergency. Yes, I recognize this is an unlikely occurrence for an armed citizen. It is, however, a bonus that cost the company nothing to include. I appreciate it.

Adding a light or supplemental aiming laser is easily accomplished with the Stoeger STR-9. A reasonably sized accessory rail is available to the shooter.

For some this might be a deal breaker: the gun is made in Turkey. Ignoring politics for a moment, there are some good guns being made in that country. The quality of the manufacturing base in that country does not concern me.

The Stoeger STR-9 Striker-Fire Pistol Delivers Affordable Performance

Featuring 15+1 capacity, interchangeable backstraps and a crisp trigger, the Stoeger STR-9 provides an affordable option for protection and range fun.

Personal Defense World

After years of producing quality shotguns at affordable prices, Stoeger has now expanded its offerings. In fact, the company has again jumped into the handgun market; this time with the Stoeger STR-9 pistol.

Preview: Stoeger Coach Gun Supreme

Stoeger introduced this pistol in the popular 9mm chambering. The company did this to create an all-around solution for everyday carry, home protection or simply fun at the range. However, part of it also comes from the effectiveness of today’s 9mm ammunition. Additionally, 9mm rounds are typically more affordable, meaning more time at the range training.

Features of the Stoeger STR-9

To start, the STR-9 comes with a corrosion-resistant black nitride finish. It also comes with interchangeable backstraps for customizing the grip. And while this pistol can easily be carried everyday, its 4.17-inch barrel still provides enough length for accuracy, even at distances.

Now Stoeger engineered the grip angle to match the drift-adjustable, three-dot sights. This provides true target alignment. Also, this pistol comes with a low-bore axis, which helps to reduce muzzle rise for fast follow-up shots, as does the aggressive front- and backstrap serrations. All together, these features keep the gun in the hand and on target in all manners of situations and conditions.

Stoeger included a crisp trigger that houses an internal safety for security, as well as an accessory rail that accepts a wide variety of lasers and lights for low-light conditions. Even better, this gun can be used by either hand shooters without changing style as the magazine release is reversible. Durable and reliable, the STR-9 delivers an excellent personal defense pistol at an economic price.
