So a couple weeks ago we got in the Stoeger STR9. After handling it initially we found it very Glock-ish. Take it apart, it’s damned near an identical copy.
Today we took it down side by side with a Glock 19 Gen 4. Curiosity got the best of us, and we discovered the STR9 slide will go right on the 19 Gen4 frame. (But the 19 Gen4 slide won’t go on the STR9 frame) Not only will it go right on, the trigger functions and resets, and dropping a pen down the barrel and pulling the trigger, the striker launches it with authority.  Attached FileStoeger left, Glock right  Attached FileEnhance....Stoeger left, Glock right  Attached FileStoeger left, Glock right. Looks familiar...  Attached FileWe were so obsessed with wondering if we could, we never stopped to ask if we should. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Stoeglock STR19 Gen4  Attached File |

Stoeger: Hey Glock, can I copy your homework?
Glock: I guess, just don't make it obvious you copied it. Stoeger: Hold my kebab and watch this... |

Aesthetically, the Stoeger looks much nicer. Metal sights? Are the feed ramps on the barrel the same?
The name makes me think "Ruger SR-9" |

LOL ! ! ! Stoeger Industries has been around since before anyone on this forum was even born. With headquarters in Accokeek, Maryland, Stoeger was founded in the 1920's and is today owned by Beretta. |

Curious if a Gen 3 slide would work.
Also wonder if you could make a Glock Magazine release fit.

When your only gun design is nearly 4 decades old, you really shouldn’t be surprised when lower-tier countries like Turkey start building copies.

STR-9 is made in Turkey.
Mags do not drop free. They stop about halfway out (common complaint). Front sight on the one I fondled was slightly bent by 1-2 degrees (another common complaint) Trigger isn't bad but the safety blade is very prominent and tends to cut into your finger. Basic model only comes with one mag, one backstrap. Spare mags seem very hard to find. It's also a very heavy pistol. My recommendation: Don't spend $299 spend $249 on a Walther Creed from CDNN |

Peak Stoeger when everyone realizes the slide will fit their Polymer 80 Glock lowers. Oops.
