Stoeger STR-9MC Micro Compact Optics-Ready 9mm Semi-automatic Pistol For decades, Stoeger has built some of the world's best budget-friendly shotguns-and now, they're turning their expertise toward creating a pistol that delivers the same level of performance and value. That pistol is the STR-9MC, and the results are well worth the wait. In the simplest terms, it's a polymer-framed, striker-fired 9mm pistol that's easy to conceal. Take a closer look, and you'll find a number of features that betray its incredibly low price. The carbon steel slide features rounded top edges for comfort during periods of extended concealed carry, while deep-cut front and rear slide serrations provide plenty of grip space for working the slide. The grip is nicely textured without being overly aggressive, and thumb imprints on either side make the STR-9MC comfortable to shoot for extended periods. Stoeger invested a significant amount of time developing the STR-9MC's geometry, resulting in a pistol with highly manageable recoil and an extremely low bore axis that directs the recoil straight back-NOT up-for faster follow-up shots. This model also features an optics cut that accommodates any red dot that fits the Shield RMSc footprint. Best of all? The STR-9MC comes in as one of the most affordable handguns we offer-but you'd never know it by the features.
