Stoeger Str 9Sc Optics Ready Handgun F

Stoeger expanded its STR-9 line of subcompact handguns in 2023 with two all-new optics-ready options, giving consumers the ability to mount their preferred micro red-dot (MRD). Each pistol ships with a cover plate for open-sight use, and four adapter plates come with each pistol, which accommodate most popular MRDs on the market.

The Stoeger STR-9SC optics-ready options still boast many of the same features found in Stoeger's other STR firearms, including a striker-fired action and an ergonomic polymer frame. Additionally, the pistols offer slide serrations forward and aft, and the slides are treated with a durable black-nitride finish for protection against corrosion and wear during daily carry.

Both models of the Stoeger STR-9SC optics-ready guns feature 3.54" barrels and measure in at an overall length of 6.54". Unloaded, the pistol weighs in at 22.4 ozs. Stoeger will offer an STR-9SC with three-dot sights, as well as an additional model that features factory tritium-illuminated sights at the front and rear. Each model will come with three interchangeable backstraps, as well as two 10-round magazines.

The suggested retail price the Stoeger STR-9SC starts at $399 for the three-dot sight version, while the tritium-sighted model retails for $449. For more information, visit stoegerindustries.com.
