9mm Duty Rifles Right and Left Hand – Stag Arms–SHOT Show 2015

The Model 9, from Stag, is a stripped down pistol caliber carbine. Their take on the 9mm rifle is unique. While a lot of the ones on the market are racing to the bottom on weight and overall length, Stag is embracing tradition and building a solid rifle. The Model 9 is in line with the quality you’d expect from Stag.

The 9 T is even more impressive. I’m a fan of the Diamondhead rail and sights, so this feel very natural to me. While it costs a bit more, it wouldn’t cost as much as you might spend trying to deck it out yourself. Check specs below, and watch for a review shortly.

The interior of the 9mm has a generous feed ramp.

Stag is partnering with Diamondhead, one of the best. Their sights are excellent.

The Daimondhead forend is the most ergonomic on the market.

The mag well on the 9mm.

I’m most impressed by the dedication to performance. The long 9mm is a rarity in a world dominated by 9mm AR style “pistols.”

[/one_half][one_half_last]

Pistol caliber performance from a full-sized rifle. Impressive.

The 9mm has a fat deflector. And note that this one is left handed.

[/one_half][one_half_last]

The 9mm is available in two main configurations. This one is stripped down.

[/one_half_last][one_half]

A quality product at a reasonable price.
