I used super fine sandpaper wrapped around a popsicle stick and sanded the small lines in the magwell ...took me under 5 minutes and mag drops like butter
Although this video is old I like it, I just bought one and compared. I’ve had zero issues so maybe they’ve improved on all the issues they’ve had in the past.
Nice video. I recently sold mine, but I had a similar experience. They sent me a shipping label, I sent it to them, they sent it back. I didn’t get the survey, I just got a note that said they repaired the mag well (same sandpaper scratches I could’ve done myself, but you know, warranty) and they lubed the gun.
I never had an issue with the magazine but the slide lock popped out when I was shooting. I was able to find it before I left the range but afterwards I couldn’t take the gun apart to clean it. I had only shot about 300 rounds and I’m currently waiting for stoeger to send the gun back. Their estimated repair time is 45 days 😒
All you have to do on the sticking mags is take some car wax and wax the sides of the insides of the grip & sides of your mags. They will start working without wax in time.
I bought this gun before seeing all videos. Mag drops fine but i am having failure to extract which is causing double feed jams. Its really annoying. What could cause this?
i think your being abit critical for a 275 dollar gun your review is no doute very detailed and informative however for what it is, its one of the most budget 9mm's on the market pretty much.
Yesterday, i went to CABELA' S in my town i looked at one. The 1st thing i chdcked was the mag drop test... ALL 3 DROPPED NATURALLY.. Because i am getting a LTZ set and i am OCD with changing out things, how do / would i know which back strap that fits my hand for optimal/ ideal trigger pull?
Honest question, who cares lol...I don't SRT that being a problem, I catch and pull my mags out anyway, I guess people love to picture themselves having to do sho kinda tactical reload while saving the world
Do you still have this gun? I noticed that you have a few firearms with similar metgar mags, is there any that are usable? Also how many of the glock parts were interchangeable? Thanks.
Mec-Gar mags, not metgar. No other brand mags lock in and work. You could probably use the trigger assist spring and possibly a connector from a Glock.
@@DCopp Sir, how about glock slide stop/catch/release? Is it interchangeable? I watched your detail stripped video, you said: I will compare just in a second, but then I think you forgot.
Yikes..they kinda beasted on your gun with a hand file it looks like. Not sure if I would be alright with that type of repair. I get that it's a econo-carry but still
What did u expect them to do in order to fix it?? I would have done it the same way, only maybe smoothed out the file marks with some 600grit sandpaper wrapped around the file to finish it off.
I was about to buy one, but after I have watched all these reviews on TH-cam, no way! Too many issues. Shame to Stoeger! Looks like they don't even have Quality Control .
Nice review, The gun looks great, its design looks solid, but I have seen many videos where the gun has a lot of problems, magazine, bullet stock, etc. to pay $ 365.00. best payment $ 250.00 for the taurus G3 that so far has not been a problem.
My stoeger str 9 was brand. New i fired 166 rounds anf the P.O S STOP FIRING NEVER. AGAIN WILL I BUY A BUDGET GUN I SHOULD OF KEPT MY GLOCK 21 ILL BE GETTING. ANOTHER GLOCK.
What a minute... you sent a gun back all because the mags didn't drop free? 😂🤣😂 SMH Now you complaining about the mags being damaged...I mean that's just petty and had nothing to do with the function of the gun at all...I guess

Yes, it's an easy fix to DIY, but Stoeger needs to be aware that it's an issue.
Snake Doc I agree, they need to drop each mag on a soft surface and make sure they stop freely👊🏾...before they shop out
The mags work perfectly in my STR 9 C right out of the box.
Although this video is old I like it, I just bought one and compared. I’ve had zero issues so maybe they’ve improved on all the issues they’ve had in the past.
Hope so. I'm ordering the Compact today

Just picked one up and it appears they have since fixed the problem as the mags literally fly out even when pointing the gun straight up!
Just got mine today and its butter! Haven’t shot it yet to see about the extraction/ ejection issue though.
Thanks for the detailed shipping report.
I looks like Stoeger's Gun Smiths are horrible. I would have been mad if they hacked up a new firearm like that.
I was looking at one yesterday and was pretty sure i was going to buy it on payday! Now, after seeing all of the videos on problems, no way!
I never had an issue with the magazine but the slide lock popped out when I was shooting. I was able to find it before I left the range but afterwards I couldn’t take the gun apart to clean it.

Wow, not sure how that's even possible as the slide stop is captured by a pin through its hole
Oops, my fault, slide LOCK, not slide STOP. Sorry
Shot mine for first time yesterday Mag did not drop free And ejection was lil off sumtimes brass comin back to face or on arm Shot great tho
115 don't eject as well as 124

Sticky chamber or weak extractor spring

Do ah stoger str 9 magazine compatibility video
Sold the gun, sorry. I'd think the PX4 should work
Nope, I just tried a PX4 mag and it was so tight and had to pry it out!
Sig 320 is close , but very tight also.

Just buy mine. You got a good FFL nearby?
The FTL at Cabela's 😅😅

Just purchased one, with one magazine.
Is it true the Bretta APK mag will fit?
Not that I know of. And it's APX not K
mine worked loose after about 200 rounds. go figure
Hey so do you send it thru fedex?

@@kaplan988 don't think so due to mag follower
Guys, after unsuccessfully trying to sell this Stoeger, I am parting it out. If anyone wants to buy anything, message me.
Snake Doc hey man are you selling the mags ?
I want it
My disassemblly latch broke how do I fix it
Nice gun what was the price thanks
243.00 with 3 mags new
How many rounds through it till now?
Sold it. Like the Sar9 a lot more for basically the same $$$ and operation
It's a good gun. Found one for 300$ debating the purchase right now
I just made a detail strip video. It's uploading now
Yikes..they kinda beasted on your gun with a hand file it looks like. Not sure if I would be alright with that type of repair. I get that it's a econo-carry but still
The mag well takes a beating with fast mag swaps anyways. No big deal. The dings on the flare is a bit crummy though
What did u expect them to do in order to fix it?? I would have done it the same way, only maybe smoothed out the file marks with some 600grit sandpaper wrapped around the file to finish it off.
@@markedman3990 well seems you answered your own question. Congrats.
@@markedman3990 lot of smartasses commenting today I see

Shame to Stoeger! Looks like they don't even have Quality Control .
The trigger package is the same of a Glock gen3 or gen4?
3, patent expired
@@DCopp thanks dude!
I didn't get 3 magz😡
It's offered, different upc
Why are you putting a flame next to a polymer frame??
It smooths rough areas and brings back polymer original color. Just don't be a moron and hold it in one spot. Keep it moving.

Try, lol
Yeah and starting at $250 if you are crafty.

They need to be aware. I didn't send the mags
