It seems I still haven't recovered from my strange addiction to Turkish made pistols. I just bought the STR-9MC version that's optics ready, night sights, and 3 mags. Any negatives to this pistol? All the YouTube reviews are really positive. Thanks ETA Took it to the range today. Ran without hiccup over a wide variety of ammo types. The good: -Excellent trigger -Great grip stippling that provides a solid purchase even with large mits like mine. -Accurate. -Red dot cowitnesses without the need of adapter plates. Not so good: -Recoil. Not bad for a seasoned shooter but she is snappy and I wouldn't recommend this pistol to a new or recoil sensitive person. -Dirty blowback. This is the only pistol I've ever owned that causes carbon/soot to buildup on the red dot's glass. It became noticable around 150 rounds and I had to wipe the glass off at the 250 round mark. And this wasn't steel Tula ammo. I was shooting brass cased from several different manufacturers Overall very pleased and I'll be adding it to my EDC rotation. |

I have a Stoeger compact. I've shot it a little and it seems like a great gun. Honest Outlaw says he has a full size where the trigger assembly came apart early in a 1000 round test, Stoeger wasn't great about responding. He had another one, maybe a compact, that was okay. On my limited personal experience I think they are okay and Stoeger is part of Beretta. Mine fits in a Glock 26 holster |
