Accokeek, Maryland– January 2023– Stoeger Industries, manufacturer of performance-grade shotguns, personal defense handguns, and airguns, adds four new models to its STR-9 pistol line. The STR-9 is the base platform for all Stoeger STR-9 series handguns, ranging from the STR-9F Full-Size to the new STR-9MC Micro-Compact.

For 2023, Stoeger introduces four new optic-ready versions of the STR-9 9mm. Two models—#31782 and 31783—come in 15+1 and 10+1 capacity, respectively, and both include an optic-cut slide with a matte black nitride-hardened finish with quick-read 3-dot sights. Two additional STR-9 models—31784 and 31785—offer the same 15+1 and 10+1 capacities and optic-ready slide but include tritium sights for operation in low-level lighting conditions.
All four STR-9 handguns come with two magazines and three interchangeable backstraps (which is a big deal and they used to just come with one mag and the installed strap). The backstraps can be easily swapped to provide a custom fit.
The STR-9 is a proven platform for defense-minded shooters. The ergonomic polymer frame with its finger-grooved grip, strategically placed stippling patches, and serrated backstrap provide exceptional grip and hand placement for optimal muzzle control. The magazine release button is reversible to accommodate right- or left-hand shooters, and a loaded chamber indicator atop the slide lets you know when a round is in the chamber, eliminating the need for awkward press checks.

STR-40
The STR series is now offered in a .40 S&W chamber with four model variations.
Since its debut, the Stoeger STR series pistols have earned a solid place in the defensive handgun segment for their reliability, high feature content, and excellent performance-to-price ratio. Now, the STR line is getting its first caliber expansion with the STR-40 introduction.
The standard STR-40 is priced at a remarkable $329. Top-end features include an integrated rail guiding a nitride-hardened matte black receiver, loaded chamber indicator, aggressive front and rear slide serrations for easy actuation, internal safety, and a reversible magazine release. The pistol’s mid-size frame offers exceptional muzzle control and comfort and includes an accessory rail for lights or lasers. A quick-read three-dot sight system delivers a clear sight picture for fast follow-up shots. This model series is offered with a 12+1 (#31767) or 10+1 (#31772) capacity and comes with one magazine and backstrap.
In addition to the standard models, the STR-40 is also available with an optic-compatible slide and tritium night sights in 12+1 (#31773) and 10+1 (#31774) capacities. The night sights make the STR-40 ideal for home defense or everyday carry applications, and the optic-cut slide comes with a cover plate and four adapters to work with today’s most popular red dot systems.
