Last year, I reviewed the new STR-9, a 9MM semi-automatic pistol from Stoeger Industries<\/a> of Istanbul, Turkey, for this very digital platform. Best known for its workhorse shotguns, Stoeger launched itself into self-defense handguns with the STR-9\u2014and it did a workman-like job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stoeger’s original entry into the 9MM handgun market, the STR-9 semi-auto<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As I noted in my original review, \u201cthe striker-fired STR-9, is an affordable and accurate carry pistol. After several different range sessions, and carrying the pistol concealed for a week, I\u2019d tell anyone looking at an affordable and accurate carry handgun to take a serious look at the STR-9. It\u2019s not flashy and it doesn\u2019t have all the features found on more expensive handguns. No optics-ready milling here, no barrel threaded for a suppressor, and no safety. Plus, it has the \u2018Glocky\u2019 look of dozens of the other poly, striker-fired pistols on the market today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added, \u201cBut it functioned fine in my time shooting it without a single malfunction, was very accurate, and carried nicely. For $300 or less? I don\u2019t think you could go wrong buying a STR-9.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, Stoeger released essentially its \u201cNextGen\u201d version of the pistol, the STR-9S Combat, very much an upgraded model compared to the original. Like the original, the STR-9S Combat is a striker-fired 9mm complete with an integrated rail, internal safety, reversible magazine release, and optimized slide serrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solid value: Stoeger’s STR-9S Combat in 9MM<\/strong>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plus, this model also sports a suppressor-ready threaded barrel, higher sights to accommodate that suppressor, and two additional interchangeable backstraps for a more individualized fit for the shooter. At just a shade over 4.5-inches, the barrel on the STR-9S Combat is approximately one-half-inch longer than the standard STR-9 barrel. The Combat\u2019s slide is steel, and the frame is polymer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The STR-9S Combat features a barrel threaded-ready for a suppressor.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Want an optic on the pistol? The STR-9S Combat comes complete with a removable optics plate and four (4) mounting plates to fit most of the smaller pistol red dots on the market today. It also comes with three 20-round magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home defense, concealed carry and some wicked mag dumps: STR-9S Combat checks the boxes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Given the first-rate accuracy I experienced shooting the original STR-9 I expected nothing less from the Combat model\u2014and was not disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIG Sauer 9MM scored a .50-inch group at seven yards offhand, while the sixth shot still clocked in at just under an inch!
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At my outdoor range, I ran the STR-9S Combat at ranges of five to ten yards shooting offhand and 20 yards from a rest using three brands of 9MM ammunition: relative newcomer to the US ammunition market, SAR-USA<\/a> firing a 124-grain full-metal jacket (FMJ) bullet; Sig Sauer<\/a> Elite Performance range ammunition also launching a 124-grain FMJ round; and Winchester<\/a> Train and Defend loaded with a 147-grain hollow point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accuracy was first-rate. My best five shot groups included a .50-inch cluster of the Sig 9mm shot offhand at seven yards, a 1.2-inch group at the same distance using the SAR 9MM, and five shots of the Winchester Train and Defend at 10 yards, offhand, that clocked in at 1.3-inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAR’s 9MM FMJ did very well in the STR-9S Combat.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At 20 yards and firing from a sandbagged rest, I was able to put all three brands of ammunition into five-shot groups of 2.5-inches or slightly less.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For accuracy and the STR-9S Combat, my conclusion was: if you shoot a five-shot group at ten yards and under, offhand, and it doesn\u2019t score at least 1.5-inches? It\u2019s you, not the pistol. Actually, one should be able to get close to a one-inch group nearly every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At ten yards and under the STR-9S Combat should make 1.5-inch groups all day long, offhand and from a rest.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My Lyman<\/a> Digital Trigger Pull Gauge measured the STR-9S Combat\u2019s trigger pull at just a shade under three pounds, on average. And that trigger, by the way, reset quickly and positively even when trying my best to mag dump ahead of the reset. The trigger itself is also the flattest, most straight up-and-down trigger face I\u2019ve ever used, and it made me rethink my feelings about such triggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not a Fudd (I hope!), but I\u2019ve always assumed a trigger should have some curve to it. Yet, the flatness of the STR-9S Combat trigger plus the tactile serrations provided maybe the best interface between trigger and finger pad I\u2019ve experienced, allowing me to pull straight back like I\u2019ve never been able to before, greatly reducing any wiggle or shake I might have had in the past with other triggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pistol’s flat trigger aided in stability and accuracy.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The STR-9S Combat’s front and…<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The high, fiber optic sights on the pistol are very impressive, too. They really popped before my eyes and put me on target fast. Of course, they are adjustable, too, and were easy to get lined up on target. Frankly, for home and self-defense purposes? I wouldn\u2019t replace the sights with an optic. The sights are that good, and I don\u2019t know what one would gain with an optic that these sights don\u2019t already accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…rear sights put McCombie on target fast and easily.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pistol\u2019s back strap checkering, and stippling along the sides of the grips kept me on the gun even when shooting barehanded in temperatures in the mid-20\u2019s. The flared magazine well made for fast mag changes, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grips worked great even in mid-20’s temperatures.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Concealed carry, home defense and some of the most fun mag dumps ever\u2014the STR-9S Combat has a shooter covered plus some. Stoeger lists the suggested retail at $549.00, and various websites I searched offered the pistol at that price down to $500. If you can actually get one with the 20 round magazines? I\u2019d buy it. It\u2019s a solid pistol and at half a grand it\u2019s a solid deal, and one that our current Commander in Chief will only make more valuable given his anti-Second Amendment proclivities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
