I bought an STR-9 a year ago. Immediately felt like an old favorite. I shoot 2-gun practice every week (250rds/week). My Stoeger is my car gun, not my regular competition gun, but I still have approx 1000rds through my Stoeger---a mixture of reman and factory ammo. So far, it's been flawless. I even had the slide cut for an RMSc optic. Again, flawless. The trigger is not Canik, but it's not nearly as bad as Mr Glock in the black t-shirt makes it out to be. If you can shoot, double-taps with this Stoeger are not a problem. As for holsters, I have FN and M&P holsters that fit this gun perfectly. I have a CZ holster that fit this gun, and you can also get a universal kydex holster that will fit this gun. Mr Glock appears to be really disappointed in the Stoeger because it's not a Glock. If you want a Glock, get a Glock. But don't fault the Stoeger because it doesn't use all your Glock accessories. And if you don't like finger grooves (Stoeger's are really slight and comfortable), don't buy a gun with finger grooves. Funny how Mr Glock doesn't like finger grooves. I do applaud the fact you guys decided to show the STR-9.
Swap the striker spring out for a glock striker spring to reduce the pull weight. Done this with P99 to make the DA pull 5.5lbs instead of 10lbs . Cheap upgrade. Like $5 for a striker spring on ebay
Great point. Going to look into that! Thanks for the tip and for watching our video.
The STR-9 fits perfectly in 'most' G19 holsters, I have an IWB kydex which fits perfectly as well as a Phalanx Defense OWB which also fits perfectly! Interestingly my Taurus TX22 also fits those two holsters perfectly! I have installed several items from G19 Gen3 pistols in the STR and they work flawlessly! Very nice review btw!
Great! Thanks so much for sharing this great information.
Hey Fellas! I’m happy to see videos like this, that look at lower cost, yet great firearms! I subbed! Thanks for covering guns like this!
Thanks. We like to look at all ranges of guns because it doesn't mean they are the best just because of the cost. This $200 Stoeger is one of the best pistols available and for the price I might even say the best. It's amazing and 1 of my top 3 go to guns now among a dozen or more - many of which cost 2x or more. Check out our FMK review we just did - another promising $200ish gun. Thanks for watching and for the sub.
Paid 189 no rebate. Hated the trigger. Took it apart. Measured the parts.. went out and found parts in a well know brand. Now I have a 4lb trigger. Liked it before. Love it now
Awesome. It is a great gun. We were at the range with 4 guys today and they all shot it and immediately said I'm getting one of those. Can't beat the price for an amazing gun like this. Thanks for the comment.
Picked up the full size and compact for a steal. After rebate paid $199 each. Priced right for this firearm. It runs and shoots everything I put through it. Trigger is a little heavy but it’s accurate and has a consistent trigger pull.
That's an awesome deal for a solid gun! We have not had a failure either to date and I'd say were over 1000 rounds. Enjoy.
They are running around $300 at my local shop now. Would you still recommend at that price?
I picked up the STR 9 last year. I'm not a Glock fan, mainly I think they are ugly. The STR 9 is at least good looking with the slide serrations. Mine shoots fine and I've had no trouble with it. I do like the steel magazine over the Glocks plastic mags. Overall it's a good inexpensive handgun.
It is a good solid gun and it does look pretty cool. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
My biggest fee for Glock says I don't have big hands and holding a Glock to me feels like someone took a 2x6 and cut the shape of a gun out just to blocky for my hand but I could say that about a lot of full size which is
I wonder why, oh Why the US Marines went with the Glock 19X over the $200 USD *_Stoeger STR-9_* and over the SIG M17/M18?
*EDIT* What do the US Marines know anyway?!
I can appreciate that Curt. I have the opposite issue so I can relate to how you feel about guns based on our hand sizes. Thanks for watching.
Please clarify for me. Do you like the Stoeger? Sounds like you like them both but I can't tell 🤔. It's been a long week and I'm feeling slow today lol. Thanks for watching.
Comes with a heavy slide / spring too. It didn't like factory 115 grain early on with a number of FTF's but it ran great with defensive ammo out of the box. Recommend a good clean and lube, work the slide while you sit on the shitter and NATO or heavy bullets early on to break this monster. Once she's broke, you can trust your life with it. Had to adjust the rear sight a tad. Great gun all around.
Absolutely. Every time I shoot this gun I like ti more and more. No failures, trigger is breaking in, just a great gun. Thanks for sharing.
Just bought one of these as my first pistol buyand I'm liking it so far. Main competition was the Sarsilmaz SAR9, which, to be completely honest, fit my hand like an absolute dream. It was, however, $130 more expensive. So, I bought the STR-9.
I find it amusing that Turkish-made guns are becoming so popular now, as old mainstays like Colt, Kimber, Ruger, Glock and Heckler "you suck and we hate you" Koch are either dropping in quality, or becoming overpriced.
In NY opinion you'll like the Stoeger. SAR9 is solid bit I prefer the Stoeger. It'll take time to break in fir comfort, but before you know it it'll feel like an extension of your hand. It is interesting how quality and cost have changed the popularity of so many options. Thanks for the comment.
I just bought one. Picked up a 1791 leather holster advertised on Amazon as fitting G19 et al.. Sig 320 and Stoeger STR9. Fits perfect. Edit...no issues at the range. Didn't like steel cased ammo but that was it. Ran everything else.
Awesome. Thanks for the info and for watching!
I’m very pleased to say this gun is reliable. The accuracy I experienced shooting this at an outdoor range is beyond! 😎
Awesome. It is a great gun.
@@mwmag I just bought one tonight I pick it up probably Friday or Saturday then I’m gonna get the Iwi Masada I already have the Glock 21 but that’ll be for home i plan on carrying either the Masada or the stoeger even though they’re not the compact I’m a pretty tall guy so it’s kool with me 👍🏾
You should do a review on your channel. I'm here for that. 👍🏿
Stoeger has since updated their trigger. I just bought one and with my Digital trigger pull Guage, it's at 4.6lb. They also changed the shape of the trigger shoe. Very nice trigger now. They also reduced the size of the huge logo on the left side of the slide. All in all, it's shot great. Just wish the mags were easier to get and cheaper.
Sounds like they were listening top the people. First, the size of the logo on ours is ridiculous so I am glad they changed that. The lighter trigger is a solid upgrade. I am looking to get a backup soon so I am very happy they made some updates. I'm with you on the mags. Thanks for watching and for the information.
@@mwmag I found mags online for $36 each. I bought 2. I've got over 500rds through it and not a single issue. Best $200 gun you can buy. I have glocks, m&p's, sigs, cz's and a few others. I'd trust this Stoeger as much as any of my more expensive guns.
@@mwmag A trigger is modifiable, and it seems that recently it is lighter (4.2lb) out of the box. And WHY you wouldn't chose this pistol like a primary gun ? That means it is not reliable, or cause it is a full size model ? Just a 'camping' firearm 😯 ?? I intend to purchase it like my only gun, to shoot at my stand range, I don't see why I'd buy a Glock 17 or a CZ P-10 for twice the price, unless you have arguments ? Greetings from France🙂.
I have a STR-9C for about a year now and had put over 2000 rounds on it and have not yet had a single hiccup. Not even when breaking it in within the first 200 for which I didn't even lube the gun for first use, it did not even show a sign of willing to jam. I have also tried different types of ammo, I just wish there was more accesories for it available.
Same. Shot hollow points for the first 200, no malfunctions, and shoots very nice.
Thanks, good review.
I think an awful lot of emphasis is placed on "trigger pull" for defense guns, maybe because it is a measurable feature that can be compared. (???) That makes it something "to talk about". I think it is about the least important element of a self defense pistol.
All three of my primary carry guns are DAO, hammer fired and have MUCH heavier than 6 lb. trigger pulls. They are perfect for self defense, they are terrible for target shooting. I don't use them for target shooting.
Having carried a gun every day since 1973 as a Police Officer and now as a retired police officer fisherman, shooter, beach goer guy, my primary concerns for a defense gun are...
1. Reliability
2. Durable finish
Nothing else really matters. Magazine capacity? One of my primary guns, and one I have carried for nearly 50 years, is a J frame S&W 5 shot revolver. Nothing wrong with more rounds on board, but it is just not a top consideration. Neither are sights.
Thanks for your service. You make some great points. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I joined LA County Sheriffs Department in 1988 and completely agree with you.
This is a fantastic gun, other than the the aggressive backstrap, and other cosmetic issues, lack of holster support for the brand yet, l shoot this gun more accurately than my Glock 45 with less effort. And that’s what’s important to me.
I did notice that l shot blazers ammo no problem, Midwest ammo, but when l shot federal American eagle loaded, l had to force the mag in the well a few times. Not sure about that as it’s still in the break in period, 150 rounds in. But afterwards it ran AE fine without that continuing to occur. I don’t have a a problem with the trigger, but l noticed l couldn’t feel the reset while shooting, it’s not as tactile as a Glock. But you get used to it. I loved the ergonomics of it, I have the str 9C. Fits my hand like a glove.
For me the accuracy is there and that’s what matters for me. Love it.
Interesting you guys are one of the few reviewers on this that had a beef with the trigger.
Trigger is a little stiff but I would also add that in a carry gun I do not care one wit about a trigger as long as it goes bang when I pull it now when I'm target shooting obviously I want a lighter crisper trigger.
That is exactly the point I made in our last canik review - from close range the trigger isn't critical as long as it fires, so I agree with you 100%. And I wouldn't necessarily say we had a beef with the trigger. It's a great gun for $200-250. It just has a heavier trigger than many of the others guns we have used. As I mentioned in the latest Canik review, we're reviewing functionality of how the gun runs. This format is typically set to a higher standard. But as far as personal defense, this gun will more than cover you because it's reliable- the only real concern when your life is on the line. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Im actually buying one in a couple days. Itll be my first legal cc pistol. What ammo would u recommend for this pistol?
You're going to love it. Let it break around 250-500 rounds and this gun is amazing. As far as ammo, it cycles everything effortlessly. So my suggestion is buy decent range ammo (we use Tulammo - it's decent and affordable) during the breakin period. After that it's an open market for you Ethan. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
you can get mags from Midwest Gun works, 10, 13, 15 and 20 round mags.. bought mine and ran 50 rounds brass through it.. I would recommend it as an EDC. The backstrap is a bit aggressive but that can be fixed. Price wise you cannot beat it.
Thanks Jeff for the great info. Will definitely look into this as I can always use a few more :-). Thanks for the info and for watching!
Thank you, looked just about everywhere for the mags. I do only see the 10 and 15 currently. Thanks again
Sig p320 9mm and 357 sig mags fit the str9 it's a little snug and doesn't lock but it will still strip rounds out and chamber fine just make sure mag is in all the way don't use smaller than 15round mags
tactical scorpion Glock 19 holster works with the stoeger STR-9
Thanks for the information and for watching our video.
I put a TLR 1 on my Stoeger and it fits perfectly in a We The People holster for my 19 MOS
Cool. Thanks
Mine fits in the grip break Glock 17 with a little modification, the plastic at the lower end need trimmed a little bit but it works flawlessly
Awesome. Thanks for the info.
The Stoeger STR-9mm has a gen 3 Glock trigger group, the trigger weight was just in the head of those 2.
Maybe but when we put a Gen 3 glock compared to Stoeger it's noticeably different. The Stoeger is definitely growing on us as we love it now. But the triggers (when compared to a Gen 3) seem different so I'd have to say it's not just in our heads. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The trigger pull weight is in the firing pin spring. Just changed mine to a oem glock. And a few other changes. 4lb trigger now.
Canik mags fit perfectly
@@jonbravo9278 A variety of 9mm mags will fit in the stoeger.
Enjoyed this video - my first time to you channel. Have you tested the new CMMG Banshee in 9mm, which runs Glock mags? I'd like to build a kit for the Banshee and a Glock compatible pistol. And would love ot hear your thoughts on the upgrades for the Banshee and which Glock / Glock compatible pistol(s) you'd suggest?
The CMMG Banchee is set up to run Glock pattern mags. As far as a Glock pistol you're looking for something such as 17, 19, 19x, 26 or 34. The Banchee really needs no upgrades beyond magazines, a good optic and plenty of range time. The radial delayed blowback system makes it a very soft shooting pistol. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I already had several holsters that fit this gun. This is an excellent gun for the price!!
Yes it is. Thanks for the info regarding the holster.
I’m not opposed to “budget” guns like the Stoeger and they can certainly be reliable but by the time you purchased extra mags ,(which is where they’re offsetting the low gun price), and when you figure in the costs associated with repairs/parts if needed they’re really aren’t that much of a bargain. I can purchase every single component inside my Glock from a dozen different retailers without ever having to worry about having to send it in to have a repair or part replacement done.
Obviously, for the customer that wants an inexpensive handgun for personal protection that will rarely shoot it perhaps the Stoeger would make sense. No need to waste money on a Glock or M&P if you have no intention of training and running the necessary ammo through it to at least be marginally proficient with it.
Glock slide can be put on stoeger and fired it's exactly same except magazines
I was looking at these today at academy sports. They have them for $200..lol the g19 is $599. I wouldn't give Glasco my hard earned money knowing those guns don't cost much to build. There's probably a reason he has a jet and I don't..lol I don't need another polymer pistol but I'll give this one a try.
Pretty sure you won't be upset. But make sure to give it time to break in. We weren't overwhelmed at first but with time it's really coming into its own as a great gun. And for $200 the risk is low. Thanks for watching.
Check Rainer Arms for mags. Just picked up 2 from them for the Stoeger STR-9.
Awesome. Thanks Drew for the tip. Need a few more mags so I'll be heading that way. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@mwmag it was a great review for a great firearm. Thank you sir for the content.
$229 PSA w/$50 rebate went with SC model. I do wished it did take Glock mags one gripe. It is my truck gun. Very difficult to find SC mags, in fact never have aside from one pistol shipped with. I cram compact mags in with little more pinky addition. Wished they made sleeves to fill the void.
Crazy deal huh? That was one of our gripes as well. So close to the Glock yet doesn't work with Glock comps. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.
Where-abouts...What State....?
I appreciate Your succinct clarity and Your SCORING system....will follow.
We're in the northern Midwest. Let's just keep it at that 😉. So glad you like the scoring system. Figured we'd let you all know how we came to our conclusion. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
My local shop had them about 2 months ago for $219 or $229 ....
Definitely worth it at that price. This gun is growing on us. We're likely to do an update bc of how much its growing on us. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
My stoeger fits perfectly fine in my xd45 holester.
Very good to know. Thanks for sharing.
I said this was the best bang for the buck pistol in 2019. (STR-9.) $249 + Shipping from PSA. Steel sight. Ergo's are right there with my Q5, & P-10C. Steel guide rod. Crowned muzzle. And it ain't to hard on the eye's either. Only draw back on my pistol is it's Glock styled NY trigger. Thanks for the share!!
Yea it's a great gun fir a low price. Thoroughly enjoy this gun now. Thanks for the comment.
Ho Steven I am a potential buyer. Did you register any malfunction?
@@lanfrancoadreani9212 No malfunctions. And the trigger gets better after 500 + rounds. This is a great pistol. I've heard their CS isn't the best tho. So, that's a thing.
@@stevenkennedy4130 thank you.
I have a Glock 17 holster on my STR9, fits perfectly
Awesome. Thanks for the info!
Midwest GunWorks is about the only reliable source for magazines I have found (even though they are hit and miss as far as availability) @ $35 ea…they also have a 20 round magazine for $65 IIRC…Clinger Holsters also offers dedicated Kydex holsters for STR-9 👍👍👍
Absolutely. They are my go to for Stoeger magazines as they never seem to be out of stock. And the price is more than fair - I picked up 10 for the price of 7 from any other available option. Thanks for the info Bisley and thanks for watching - Happy New Year.
Hello sir. If you don’t mind me asking which Canik holster fits it? And does it actually lock in?
It comes with a great paddle holster. But here's a solid and affordable alternative.

Nice. Will have to look into it. Thanks
Got the 9c in fde its flawless I run 115gr hornady critical defense ftx
Bery nice. Great ammo to use too. Thanks for watching
I have the standard version with 4.7 inch barrel I found my extra mad on eBay for 29.99 was hard at the time to find the 15 rounds magazine but love this gun added a light to mine
Thank you Guy for the info. It is a pretty great gun for $200 right? Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@mwmag Very good gun for price will be looking into there subcompact version soon as well
SAR9 fits the Canik holsters as well.
Thanks for the information and for watching our video.
Great review,
This tool just feels amazing, definitely feels quality made,
I'm glad they didn't go for a higher mag out the gate, because they are banning those in so many places, witch is insane,
15 feels ok, but yeah, more is always better,
the biggest downside for this awesome tool to me so far, is also the lack of mag options,
Yeah they have the 15er on thier website right now, for like 40 ish with shipping, but that is about it at the time, hopefully that will change an they will have more readily available at some point, because these are awesome, especially for somebody on a budget like me, an I'm sure many- many other's,
I think if they had more options readily available this would sell like crazy,
Plus they are connected to Beretta, just another cool lil thing,
But say you get this it will drive you crazy knowing you only got the basics, so add on what another 100 or so for a few extra mags an now you are in the 400 range, witch is still very low,
these have a safety, while the Tarsus one that is in the same price range, surprisingly does not,
Plus from options i seen it was the stoeger str 9c, or the Tarsus g,
2 other pocket style tiny lil "Saturday night specials" an that was it,
So out of those options this definitely seems best in it's class, at that price, next better would probably be double or so the price
cabelas has these for a good price, for a starter i don't think you could do much better for the price, but it definitely doesn't feel like you got the cheepie that nobody wants an everyone makes fun of,
It would have been amazing to find the kit that had 2 extra m😢ags along with the different backs an the optics ready,
Now that would have been an almost perfect kit.
Happy to like and subscribe if you can tell me definitively that you tried installing a Glock trigger in this gun and it did or did not work.
Lol, we actually have it on order and have a plan for future video of installation. Hopingvto have it on the channel early next year as we have the sweet 16 hand gun tournament series of 4 videos in December. Thanks for watching.
I must wait to buy a pistol, if I have the budget I'll get a CZ SP-01 Shadow, otherwise, I 'll buy a polymere pistol, and the Stoger STR-9 F (Full size) will be my choice, less expensive than a CZ or a Glock.
The Stoeger should be a 1-1 copy of a Glock. The patent expired. They improved the sights, which is the #1 complaint with a stock Glock. IIRC, specifically, it's a copy of a gen 3 Glock. Any drop in trigger upgrade can be put in if it fits a glock. With the sights upgraded, and the trigger fixed, you have a very smooth shooter.
Do you sell any back strap for the str-9c it's too rough for me. Thanks
If you like the size of the back strap. You can take a flat file and file to your liking. Be careful it's easy to remove too much too quick. It's worth doing super easy. Most everybody has a file.
Also Jo Bobs sells replacement SML back straps really cheap.
Polecraft kydex Glock 19 fits my stoeger just fine
Great. Thanks for the information. And thanks for watching.
Mine was $320 with 2 xtra mags and 2 boxes of 124gr 9mm hp ammo out the door back in feb.2022..
That's a great deal considering mags are about $35 a piece and ammo is another $20-25 a box. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I run pxd Winchester and ranger plus p hollow point rounds through mines, not a single issue.
It's an awesome gun isn't it Carlos. Love it more and more every day. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
fits my gjock 17 holster (STR-9F)
A very good pistol!!!
Agreed. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Nice review fellas.
Thank you. And thanks for watching.
I have a taurus pt111g2 same as the g2c is the trigger really better than the g2c?
On the G3? Yes. Its an upgrade from the G2. Feels crisp and tight and not as heavy. I have both and like them both very much. But I find the G3 trigger to be better. With bigger hands, that's more important because your already struggling with holding a compact and having your finger so far through the trigger guard happens more often than you'd like. So being mindful of that, and pulling your finger back so you dont knuckle it, losens your grip so a lighter crisper trigger helps. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@mwmag yes sir and thank you for the info.
Damn where do you find this bad boy for 200 dollars. That's a steal 👏
Keep an eye on Palmetto State Armory. They'll run deals every now and then for great deals. Thanks for watching.
This gun is very reliable haven’t had and issue with it. Runs everything I put in it.
Love my STR 9 great gun
Honestly, this pistol delivers from everything there saying. How could you knit pick about a $200.00 pistol that delivers all of that. Just get a universal holster and call it a day. And honestly, wouldn't be that hard to polish up the trigger contact points a little bit. Should be able to get at least a 1/2 a pound off the trigger just by doing that.
Love my stoeger
Me too. 💯👍
Str-9 fits in Glock 21 holsters
Great to know. Thanks for sharing and for watching our video.
Holster bulldog Glock 19/17. Little stiff but I got it just right.
Great to know. Thanks for the information 👍
Taurus TS9 hosters does fit the STR9 like almost perfect
Good to know. Thanks for the information and for watching.
I have a Fobus holster for mine
I have a g17 holster that actually fits
Good to know. Thanks you for the information.
My STR9C wouldn't go into battery with Hornady Critical Defense or Winchester Defender rounds.
That's interesting. I have some Hornady CD ammo and we will do some testing to see if we can replicate the issue and if so, what might be causing it. If we discover anything we will share. Thanks for watching the video and for your comment.
@@mwmag I'd appreciate that if you can get the chance. It would go into battery after I gave the slide a little love tap.
Elijah, haven't forgotten about you brother. We'll be at the range tomorrow - camera free day just for fun. Will test the Hornaday CD rounds. Spoke to Darryl and he has some ideas of what could be causing the issue as well. Will provide more info after tomorrow.
@@mwmag Alright bud, I appreciate you!
Elijah, we went to the range today and had no issues with Hornady CD or GoldDots. Quick question, when you chamber a round are sling shoting the slide or using the slide stop?
Where are you finding them for $200? Cheapest I've seen is $300+
They've been going up. Keep an eye out at Palmetto State Armory as they'll periodically run specials between 200 and 225. Good luck. It'll be worth the wait. Thanks for watching.
@@mwmag with the earthquake in turkey they will probably keep going up and up for a long time....I might just go with canik since it comes with extra mag
I don't know I was more efficient with the str9 an accuracy was way better than my glock 19 an 17

I've had screws undo themselves from sunglasses pocket knives that become loose cassette tapes unwinding themselves , from riding around in the glove box. I wonder if guns ever vibrate apart being in the glove box of a truck.? IA truck gun should be as reliable as your carry gun.
Very true. And I should have clarified that when I said a truck gun, that means I like it enough and have enough confidence early on to have my life depend on it. A truck gun to me is one that'll save your life. Definitely a post production, "crap that didn't come out like it was intended ." So great point. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
A trigger is modifiable, and it seems that recently it is lighter (4.2lb) out of the box. And WHY you wouldn't chose this pistol like a primary ? That means it is not reliable, or cause it is a full size model ? Just a camping firearm 😯 ??
Custom STR-9
Are you asking if it's custom?
The takedown is exactly like a Glock... You can take it down either way, and the Glock does the same thing...I teach a handgun class and many have difficulty with disassembly if you miss the mark but disengage the slide lock you can release it by engaging the trigger as well...
I got this gun. It's amazing.
It is a great gun isn't it. Took some time to adjust but it's in my top 5 now definitely. Thanks for watching.
Pretty much the same as any striker fire 9mm and a lot of the videos like to compare to glock like glock is so unique and glock really is not all that unique
I think it's just because the Glock remains as one of the leaders for comparison. But point taken Thomas. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I just got the 9C for $249.99.
Just got it last week. So far so good. Hope to have video on it soon
@@mwmag cool
It's a Glock 17 clone made in Turkey . German engineering and Turkish manufacturing .
Why would you put in the title of your video saying it's a $200 Glock when the MSRP is $299? You over-exaggerated. I think I would pass the Stoeger for PSA Dagger (Glock 19 clone) for nearly the same price and LIFETIME warranty.
The MSRP is only suggested and alot of things aee sold under MSRP. The going price at the time was $200-$250 so we didn't exaggerate, we used the going price. In fact, you can still get them today for well under MSRP at multiple locations.
@@mwmag oh ok thank you
My lgs have them for $219
No, it would be a $300 Glock.
If you look hard enough, you can find them under $300. I got mine for $224 with $25 mail in rebate. Palmetto State has them right now for $274. The price is up but I still found a few for as low as $239 but that's the base - no backstraps and only 1 mag. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I thought it was pronounced, "Stewger."
We have atually heard 3 ways it is said, Stoe-ga, stogur and stewger. But I do believe the correct German pronunciation is as you mentioned. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@mwmag Just like everything else, there are several ways to pronounce it. You are welcome.
Buy 3 of them for the price of a Glock and you'll get used 6it instead of a Glock. Not a big deal, many things in life are slightly different and we get used to it. If all the Glocks will fit you guys be crying and they copied it Jesus Christ.

It's sad to see video creators steer away from being honest! I carry this gun everyday! I own caniks and other guns. I'm not afraid to say yea! I carry this gun with the utmost confidence. Break the mold your true followers with stay with you
What's sad is accusing someone of being dishonest just because you don't agree with them. That's not how honesty works Cedric. Here's actually how it works - if you'd have watched any of the other videos you'd see we admitted the stoeger was growing on us. In consequential videos we said we were wrong about it and that it's broken in to be one of our favorite guns. In fact, it was the runner up in our sweet 16 tournament only to Beretta APX as voted by 4 people, not just by one keyboard warrior who probably only has 1 or 2 guns to compare to. So before you go accusing people of being dishonest, have evidence, not "feelings." OH yea, thanks for the comment 😉
@@mwmag I was actually speaking on another video I saw before yours but the first comment did not send. I appreciate honesty was my point and you were honest on your preference. Sorry about the confusion. I was trying to say i appreciate your honesty! Lol sorry about the first msg not coming thru
Gotcha ya Cedric. I can totally appreciate that. Sorry for the confusion as well and look for our follow-up this week. Thanks for clarification and we agree it's a great fun.
@@mwmag love it! Thanks for the heads up I will be tuned in!!
More glockaholics heard from. You people need to expand your gun expertise.
Have you watched our other videos? We have reviewed a lot of guns other than Glocks and in fact during the tournament, a Glock didn't win. How many guns have you tried? Just curious and not attacking. We have (to date) tried, and in some cases reviewed, dozens and dozens of guns so we have expanded our horizon a lot more than most. Thanks for watching.
No.... it's a 299.99 dollar glock!!!
It sure looks like one and acts like one in many ways. Check out Palmetto State Armory. They have it for $224 with $25 mail in rebate. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
My lgs have them for $219
It's not even a $200 stoeger
Canik is pricier than Glock.
My lgs had this pistol for 349$ with a free pardus 12ga pump and a 50$ rebate both guns seem to be decent I had no trouble out of either so far
Wow - now that's a deal. PSA has the Stoeger FS and compact on sale this week. Awesome guns. Thanks for sharing.
Better than glock
Question or comment? It definitely is right up there with the Glock in my mind. Thanks for watching!
Damn.....you shooting Tula ammo? You must hate your guns.
If feels decent but stop putting Glock in your content. You say words like decent Taurus it’s not gonna be this that. Y’all get off the dam camera
Stop putting glock in comment? It's compared as a Glock killer so not seeing the logic behind that.
