Stoeger is a bussiness partner of Beretta. I just want you guys to know that your'e buying a Beretta that looks like a Glock with a different name for 299$. That's really cheap for a gun like that tbh. I'm using the STR9-SC model. Great gun, no issues. I love it.
I love my Stoeger STR9 I have had no problems with the magazine it hasn’t had one malfunction and it hammers and nails like a champion I think I’m gonna keep it
I have a generic DeSantis open top holster Ive had for years that fits… I bought it for my Glock 19… I would try out a few from Amazon so you can return them if they dont fit…
Another great video. I have over 1000 rounds through mine and it’s running great. I have 4 magazines and I get 15 rounds into each one. I sent it back to Stoeger because my mags didn’t drop freely. They fixed it quickly, excellent customer service.
My mags come flying out but the mags are hard to load... 2 of them are getting easier... Im assuming spring tension... Its a really nice pistol though huh?
Guns, Ammo & Drones its a sweet pistol. No wear and tear noticed, it’s built well. Also, my trigger has broken in nicely. I prefer it over my stock Glock 19 trigger. Keep the videos coming brother, you’re good at it.
Love my Stoeger... minus the mags of course. Love the look, love the feel and the performance is damn good. No way this gun maintains its current price point. Thanks for the video. Subscribed.
I have the same exact gun. My mags were hard at first. But I keep loading n reloading them until they loosened up. They r fine now. I also keep all three mags full wether in use r not. Plus I use a real good gun lubricant made by Lucas oil products. My first hand gun to own and I love it. The fit is awesome. Michael Lambert, Prairieville La.
Ordered mine from Buds, $292 delivered! If I need to, I will make the fix on the mag problem. Release issues appear to be due to material in the magazine well, not the mag itself. The problems to load the mag are worked out by being left loaded, and lots of use to wear them in. No problem there either, I am going to shoot the heck out of it. Ejection I think will be solved by leaving it locked back until I go to the range next time. I understand the recoil spring is a bit over-strength initially. Some shootin should help as well. Great review! Thanks
Bought one of these from my local dealer. Walked out with an extra mag for $269. Found out about the mag issues later, however I've had no problems with either mag on mine. At first, yeah, loading got a little stiff around the 4th or 5th round but then all smooth to the 15th. I left both mags fully loaded for about a week as someone recommended and sure enough, no problem getting all 15 in smoothly. The trigger is not that bad and I've gotten used to it. Very predictable reset and follow up shots. No misfeeds or failure to eject as some have noted. I would recommend it. Great video!
Awesome to hear... Yeah, the mags are stiff but they do get easier... The guy at Stoeger told me the black mags dont have issues but the stainless ones are the problems... He said I could send back all 3 but Im just going to leave it alone... They work good enough... Really nice pistol
I have one....great gun! All 3 mags were stiff at first, but much better now. racked mine 200 times, and left it locked open for 2 days...that loosened it up nicely. Nice, well done review. Hope u like yours.
@@markedman3990 it just sounded like you racked the pistol to loosen the mag springs..... had to check. I recently bought a few 1911 magazines at a yard sale, they were in sad shape, but all of them cleaned up nicely and now work fine. I had to oil the inside and use a cleaning rod to function the springs and follower several times but it worked. I thought about how this might help with these magazines but the Stoeger magazine follower is plastic not metal so you might damage them with the wrong tool.
@@ianstradian lol...i went back and re-read what I wrote. And it was confusing. I loaded, and unloaded all 3 mags several times, and left all of them loaded for a couple days...as well as working the slide 200 times. Just to get everything loosened up some. My 1st outing with that gun I had a few FTE w/115gr. ammo. But after the recoil spring was excercised, that went away!
Just about all pistol lights work… Streamlight TLR-1 is my favorite but I also have a couple Olight mini 2’s that are compact and super bright… Those are my favorite

Thank you for the video and review. A friend and myself was untested in this gun but now not so sure. Your critiques about the mags makes me very hesitant especially when you said Stoeger rep admitted about the mag problems. The reviews I've seen was positive about the gun I believe you're the first to mention mag problems. Will wait to see what they'll do a bout the mags.
I just purchased mine from a local Sportsman's Warehouse then immediately went to a local range. I only had time to put 180 rounds through it, but there were no issues at all, with the gun itself or the magazine (I got the cheap version). The magazine took the rounds flawlessly and fed them the same, although it did get a little harder to load after 4 or 5 rounds. That backstrap is something else, isn't it? The only thing I would like to see on the STR-9 is small textured panels that help you locate your thumb on the frame for a thumbs forward grip. 9mm ammo is really tough to find here in Michigan, so I'm looking for other sources, but I am so looking forward to shooting this blaster more frequently. Cheers, eh.
Awesome man... Ammo is expensive right now, but if you need some, GunBroker has plenty of different kinds... You will pay more and there will probably be a small shipping charge...
Congrats. I just picked one up also and have yet to take it to the range. What ammo did you use? I've heard that it's had some FTE issues in the past and I'm a bit worried because it has a really stiff recoil spring. Cleaned and lubed and I've been working the slide to help loosen it up. Also heard the mag would stick for some, but mine drops out no problem. My mag loads fine for me too.
Bought mine thinking it was a great buy, but had trouble loading magazines full & when I went to the range got a stovepipe jam on three consecutive times. Now going to test with 5 rounds per magazine to see if it's a magazine problem. Will consider returning it to get a different gun.
It seems like people's biggest complaint is due to lack of breaking in as well as overall inexperience with firearms, which is understandable considering this seems to be a lot of people's first firearm. My honest opinion would be to run at minimum 300 rounds through any firearms you intend to use for self defense before you consider them GTG also it helps if you use full power loads during the brake in period.
I didn't get a magazine in mine when I bought mine because I live in Washington might have a 12 round magazine in it or 13 and it took that out and they say you have to purchase a 10 round cuz it's have anything more than $10 magazine is illegal in Washington State so you got to check your magazines up for law per state
I fired cheep 115 grain ammo got 2 stove pipes out of 25 rounds moved up to 124 grain no Issue at all so far only 50 rounds put threw it by me I bought mine used with 2 magazines so not sure how many rounds pit threw it before I got it I will say it is the 2021 model as indicated by the side numbers
Old video, but someone might see this. I bought a STR-9c and found that Arex Delta 15 rd mags work once you cut a locking notch in them. They don't drop free, but they are better than nothing. I am confident that the 17 rd mags for the full size Delta would fit the STR9 FS as well. 30 seconds with an angle grinder/cut-off wheel and you're in business. They run about $28.
Gunbroker has STR 9 mags for $30… Why do all that cutting crap if you can just buy factory mags for around the same price? No need to ruin your Delta mags
I went and handled an STR 9mm at the gun store, along with Canik. Decent firearm, but the Canik Tp9sf Elite for $300 is way better. Nicer finish, much better trigger, match grade barrel and better magazines. This is just the few things I know are better. Im sure there is more. IMHO
The Glock patent is expired. Any gun manufacturer can clone it. The Stoeger STR-9S Combat is the top of the line; it has all the upgrades you wish on a Glock. The STR-9S Combat comes with fiber optic sights, red dot optics cut ready, a 4.67" threaded barrel, a flat trigger, aluminum magwell, three 20 rounds magazines, front and rear serrations, among other features.
Funny thing is I do believe mec gar makes the mags... I heard that right before I bought one. Even my range ets mags run fine in it. These steel ones are not Mt favorite. I'll carry the 21 rd ets on my edc just because it's mote reliable as a mag. My 30 rd stays in the bag and hardly comes out unless I'm st the range lol
There really is no excuse for the mags being like that... They know about the issue but probably have all those mags they still have to get rid of... The loader they include is horrible and doesnt work like the Maglula
I would have traded the forward serrations for two Mecgar mags. You do not need forward serations to press check. I belive this is a cosmetic fad. Up to 2010 how did everyone press check without forward serations ??
I'm sure if they listen to everyone and made a gun, im sure they didn't say include crappy mags. That being said they have a FDE one a RK guns and it been taunting me for 3 days now.
I recently bought the same exact package as yours but for $285! One of the 3 mags has same exact issue as yours as I was only able to put about 5 rounds in it. I am beginning to think Stoeger intentionally packages them this way (2 good mags and 1 bad mag). I am also having the other issue that is the same as you and that is I can't go to the range to shoot it lol. Thanks for the video! Let us know how it shoots ones you hit the range. I heard it likes plus P and NATO ammos. I picked this pistol over SAR 9 due to the price. Will you do SAR 9 review?
285.00 is a killer price... Im hoping the mags will loosen a bit once they sit a bit fully loaded... Just got the Sar 9 yesterday... Will do a video on it this weekend and I cant wait... It might be the most comfortable gun I own... Really nice and with some cool innovative features
Naples Treasure Hunter Itll be ok... I agree... Ive kept them loaded for a month now and its already easier... There still is no excuse to send out mags they know are defective though... Dick move in my opinion but the gun is really nice
I just fondled the compact at my lgs today. I'm going back tomorrow to get it. I wonder if leather iwb holsters for the Glock 19 will work with the storger (?)
I have a Miami Classic by Galco and a Desantis belt holster Ive had for years... I would take the gun in to your gun store and ask them if you could test fit a few... Shouldnt be a problem... have a Kydex holster for my 19 that I can ise with about 10 diferent guns I own
And 13 12 and 13 round magazines or anything more than that it's illegal in Washington state the only magazine you can have is a ten round magazine you have to you should check your laws
@@gunsammodrones I assume they drop free now but as far as the difficulty to load, I'll chalk that up to being brand new. Neither of those are what bothered me. It's the fact that there are literally four of them in existence in the country at this moment and they're selling anywhere from $50 to $80 .... I would consider the issue resolved when I can buy 10 or 15 of them on midway for $20/$30 a pop whenever I needed them. I just bought one but got delayed as usual so I'll get to test it out in a few days.
Well, Been busy working and havent bought any guns in a while... Still have a Tisas 1911 video to do and as soon as my body armor comes in Ill do those too.. Thanks for checking though
I probably wont be getting the compact version because the STR9 is already fairly compact enough... I would virtually be reviewing the same gun... Thank you for the comment though...
Well, both are great choices and both made in Turkey so they are made well... The Canik is a bigger gun overall but the Stoeger has a more comfortable familiar feel to it to me...The Stoeger is a better deal because it comes with 3 mags... Personally, Id probably choose the Stoeger despite their crappy magazines...
That's what i'm waiting on......Str-9c, Stoeger just started taking orders from firearm dealers and production was in motion but the Wuhan-virus put a monkey wrench in the process. What I've found out from dealers is late June or July or even August when we can expect the dealers to have them in stock. Once i get one in hand and if it feels good with a nice price......i will get it for sure and do a unboxing review. 👍
@@gunsammodrones , I can see if it just feels better in hand to you. But the Canik comes with 2 extra back straps, has a better finish, better sights, a cold hammer forged match grade barrel, a nice carry case instead of a cardboard box, and "drum roll" please ....... a much, much, much better trigger. Just sayin. *shrugs*
@@gunsammodrones I saw in a video that the trigger safety didn't sit flush when pulled but if you didn't notice it it may have just been that review thanks for the response
Both are really nice comfortable pistols but considering the Stoeger mags suck and the Masada has an optics cut slide, Id say the Masada is a better value...
The pistol is fantastic though... Im hoping they will get easier to load... Its still a good buy... There might be aftermarket mags... At $299, you are getting an awesome value
I guess you won't be purchasing an AK47 any time soon. LOL If you can find a quality weapon and you can get cheap mags, getting the mags to work is usually nothing that a dremel and lube can't fix. I bought a shitpile of "bad" croate mags for my AK's for a hair over $5 a pop. A little quality time with the dremel, a thorough cleaning, and some lube and all but one work perfectly. buy 30, save $10 a mag and throw one mag away. dude... not everything has to behave like a $1500 wilson combat that's going to jam all the time anyway. some of us don't need a safe queen. just something that always goes bang and hits the target and never breaks.

Where can I find a duty holster for it
Fits most Glock 19 holsters fairly well
All guns have a problem have had name brand guns that had problems
Ive had very few problems with any of my guns and those were probably my errors
The downfall of these are the mags. I'd 100% replace my glock if they had readily available mags that aren't 50 bucks
I think the mag issue has been resolved
The mags sucked though
@@gunsammodrones I assume they drop free now but as far as the difficulty to load, I'll chalk that up to being brand new. Neither of those are what bothered me. It's the fact that there are literally four of them in existence in the country at this moment and they're selling anywhere from $50 to $80 .... I would consider the issue resolved when I can buy 10 or 15 of them on midway for $20/$30 a pop whenever I needed them. I just bought one but got delayed as usual so I'll get to test it out in a few days.
Yeah, Gunbroker has a bunch of 18 round mags for $46… Ripoff for the quality Im sure
Excellant vdeo 👍👌
Thanks for watching...
Haven’t seen any videos from you in quite a while. Everything ok?
Well, Been busy working and havent bought any guns in a while... Still have a Tisas 1911 video to do and as soon as my body armor comes in Ill do those too.. Thanks for checking though
Very expensive in Peru...$880
Dang
Can you examine the compact of this model? (Stoeger STR 9 C)
I probably wont be getting the compact version because the STR9 is already fairly compact enough... I would virtually be reviewing the same gun... Thank you for the comment though...
@@gunsammodrones Ok. If you had to make a choice, would you choose Canik TP9SF or Stoeger STR9? Which one do you think is better?
Well, both are great choices and both made in Turkey so they are made well... The Canik is a bigger gun overall but the Stoeger has a more comfortable familiar feel to it to me...The Stoeger is a better deal because it comes with 3 mags... Personally, Id probably choose the Stoeger despite their crappy magazines...
That's what i'm waiting on......Str-9c, Stoeger just started taking orders from firearm dealers and production was in motion but the Wuhan-virus put a monkey wrench in the process. What I've found out from dealers is late June or July or even August when we can expect the dealers to have them in stock. Once i get one in hand and if it feels good with a nice price......i will get it for sure and do a unboxing review. 👍
@@gunsammodrones , I can see if it just feels better in hand to you. But the Canik comes with 2 extra back straps, has a better finish, better sights, a cold hammer forged match grade barrel, a nice carry case instead of a cardboard box, and "drum roll" please ....... a much, much, much better trigger. Just sayin. *shrugs*
does your trigger safety set flush? and do your empty mags drop free?
Mags drop easy... Not sure what you mean about the trigger safety... Its not even with the trigger, it does extend out like it normally should...
@@gunsammodrones I saw in a video that the trigger safety didn't sit flush when pulled but if you didn't notice it it may have just been that review thanks for the response
Yeah, mine seems fine... Some reviews also talk of mag issues and tight fitment... Mine is also ok there too...
@@gunsammodrones yea there's a few of those it seems like they worked that kink out in production
Is there a 30 rd magazine for it
Not that I know of but if there is I hope its not a factory mag...
This pistol, or the IWI Masada? What say you??
Both are really nice comfortable pistols but considering the Stoeger mags suck and the Masada has an optics cut slide, Id say the Masada is a better value...
The masada is more expensive though
I have both. I have no problem with the Stoeger mags....I use a Maglula. Both are great guns.
Now I that I know I am actually first..... First! I am considering this gun.
*Don't answer wannabe friends*
Its a great gun considering its a combo of like 4 different guns but be warned about the magazines... They suck bit they work...
The magazines suck. Stoeger knows they suck but it takes more effort to load them than any other pistol I own...
@@gunsammodrones you think that a mag charger or uplula would help?
algierssolja I ordered a good mag loader and I hope itll help
Van Sickmeier Mine drop fine but loading ammo in the mags suck
gunbroker.com is the most overpriced place to buy anything.i have the 9C. very accurate and good gun but sharp trigger.
What a piece of junk. There is ZERO excuse for bad mags in this day and age. Pass.
The pistol is fantastic though... Im hoping they will get easier to load... Its still a good buy... There might be aftermarket mags... At $299, you are getting an awesome value
I guess you won't be purchasing an AK47 any time soon. LOL If you can find a quality weapon and you can get cheap mags, getting the mags to work is usually nothing that a dremel and lube can't fix. I bought a shitpile of "bad" croate mags for my AK's for a hair over $5 a pop. A little quality time with the dremel, a thorough cleaning, and some lube and all but one work perfectly. buy 30, save $10 a mag and throw one mag away. dude... not everything has to behave like a $1500 wilson combat that's going to jam all the time anyway. some of us don't need a safe queen. just something that always goes bang and hits the target and never breaks.
