Stoeger Industries is expanding beyond its STR-9 and STR-40 guns with an all-new chambering available in 2024. The STR-45 is the first Stoeger pistol to be chambered in .45 ACP, and in keeping with the larger caliber, the gun features a full-size frame and slide with a lengthened barrel compared to other chambering options in the Stoeger STR line.

One of the notable elements of the Stoeger STR-45 pistol is the enhanced magazine capacity, providing 13 rounds of .45 ACP in a standard-size grip frame. Ten-round magazines are available in states with magazine capacity restrictions.

To see more details on the Stoeger STR-45, watch our "New For 2024" video above.
