January 2023, (Accokeek, MD) – Stoeger Industries, manufacturer of performance-grade shotguns, personal defense handguns, and airguns, is now offering its top-of-the-line STR-9S Combat 9mm pistol in two new models featuring an enhanced, ready-to-go package. Designed for shooters looking for the ultimate performance handgun for defense or competition work, the STR-9S is ready to roll right out of the box.

Built around Stoeger's winning STR-9 series platform, the STR-9S Combat takes the "factory upgrade" concept to the next level with two new models. Billed as the STR-9S Combat +, this new package—available in 20+1 (#31786) and 10+1 (#31787) capacities—comes from the factory with a rugged Tungsten Cerakote slide finish, a holster, and a hard case for transportation and storage.

The STR-9S Combat and new Combat + pistols are intended for serious personal defense practitioners and competitive shooters. In addition to the standard features found throughout the acclaimed STR-9 series, the Combat and Combat + models feature an enhanced, beveled mag well for lightning-fast mag changes, a threaded barrel to accept a suppressor or other muzzle device, tall and adjustable fiber-optic sights that work with a suppressor or micro red dot, and an optic-cut slide that includes a cover plate and four mounting plates to accept popular red dot footprints. Each model also comes with three interchangeable backstraps (small, medium, and large) to ensure a custom fit.
