New for 2026: Stoeger STR-45 Combat Pistol

Tapping into the proven performance of its Combat-series 9mm pistols, Stoeger expands the STR line with the introduction of the STR-45 Combat—bringing a .45 ACP chambering to a purpose-built, duty-ready platform.

Built on the same proven ergonomics and performance-driven design as its predecessors, the STR-45 Combat features a high-traction grip, undercut trigger guard that allows a high hold, optimal hand placement and enhanced control for rapid shooting and repeatable follow-up shots. Interchangeable backstraps in small, medium and large sizes allow shooters to best fit the pistol to their hand size.

The full-length frame runs flush to the end of the slide, providing ample space for mounting lights or lasers, while an oversize magazine well supports fast, efficient reloads when seconds count.

Up top, the STR-45 Combat is equipped with high-visibility, suppressor-height, fiber-optic sights. The fully adjustable rear sight allows for precise windage and elevation adjustments and pairs with the front post to deliver a crisp, fast-acquiring sight picture. The slide is optic-ready and includes four mounting plates to accommodate most popular optic footprints.

Capacity is another standout feature. While the standard STR-45 runs 13-round magazines, the Combat model steps up to 16-round magazines—three included—for an onboard capacity of 16+1 rounds. The STR-45 Combat features a 5.18-inch barrel to fully harness the ballistic potential of the .45 ACP. For suppressor use, the barrel is threaded .578x28 tpi and includes a thread protector.
