  • Laugh if you want but size DOES matter. But if you know how to use the handgun, you'll overcome it. In this review we take a look at the Stoeger STR-9 and STR-9 SC to see if the size makes a significant difference.

    You have there a str9c and str9sc. The str9f has a barrel length of 4.67". I own the str9f, shoots amazing. Is my home defense gun with a olight baldr mini mounted to it
    My new str9sc is in the mail and arrives at my ffl tomorrow. Hope it shoits as well as the full. Will go right away in my edc rotation.
    Good comparison, thanks for sharing.

    I have the full size STR-9 Combat, three 20-round mags and a Meprolight already installed. $600 OTD. With less than 100 rounds through it, I took it out to 50 yards to see what it/I could do with the red dot. I was strictly an irons guy, before this gun. I got a five-shot group of 5", four shots in 3 7/8", with the red dot. I am stunned at how good this gun is. Like you, no malfunctions of any kind.

    I don't have the full sized or the compact but do have the STR 9mc gen 3 now for 10 weeks and so far l really love it it conceals well in Florida the Micro is very similar to these two featured in the video the Stoeger STR 9mc is a little bigger than a SIG P365 and slightly smaller and thinner than a Glock 26 and it came with a 10+1 and 13+1 magazine so far 200 rounds through it shoots and handles very well for a pretty small gun

    I have the full, the compact and the subcompact. All purchased in 2022. The full is 15+1, the compact is 13+1 & the subcompact is 10+1. The spec chart on the right may not be correct, it mixes the compact with the subcompact. All great guns IMO.

    I walked in to an FFL I used to work at locally to shoot the shit with some friends and the owner. One of the reps I used to regularly work around mentioned to me that I needed to check out this mildly used 9sc in the gun case. Upon feeling the gun and the trigger (and a little encouragement by the old boss dropping the price to $150) I had to have it. Ended up finding three additional 13 round mags for it online too. Happy camper here. Two days ago I shot it for the first time as did my 21 year old son. He has decided he now wants one too.... 😁

For around $275 (after additional purchase of the three 13 rd mags) I've acquired another quality carry rig. Was not expecting to purchase this gun that day but feel blessed to have found it...

    Awesome review. I just got a STR-9C recently. Have only put 13 rounds through it. I'm wondering how IT compares to these two you reviewed. I'd assume it's gonna be very similar. Also be curious if the STR-9C can handle the larger magazines.Mine came with one 13 round mag and i bought another.
