I love my STR-9C and the STR-9 BOTH are solid, maybe 5 FTF in 1500 shoots, They had a $50 rebate paid $249 (before rebate) the STR-9 even had the optics ready . UNREAL
I have well over a thousand rounds through the dagger and have had no issues with the gun. I think the dagger feels better when just holding the gun but my glock 19s (gen 3/5)feel and point better when shooting. When I take my friends to the range the gun I let them barrow is the dagger so it gets lots of new shooter love haha.
I got (2) complete Dagger lowers for $99. One 19 and one 19x size. One runs a dagger slide the other is one I built. Both work great. I also have a Combat Armory Gen3 frame with OEM lower parts kit and it's the best "Glock" I own.
@@spnfirearms for the price the STR9 and the dagger really should be getting much more attention from the gun community and Glock too. Glock is still $500 new.. these other guns are around $200 new. These guns also have improvements over glock like better grips and steel sights... If a guy was new, just getting into guns, he'd want to know about these
First pistol I’ve had break was recently and was my g26 mim firing pin. I did dry fire in training but didn’t expect a Glock to break. Stainless steel replacement on the way but very concerning.
Ok, I'm gonna take some heat for this. I can already hear it. Buuuuuut.... There's several Senior Techs in Glock's Support department that *do not* recommend dry firing them. They recommend practicing with snap caps. Due to... firing pin breaks, and punched out slides. Take a look at the inside of your slide. Where the firing pin sticks through to strike the primer. Check that for damage, too. Glock says they will cover that damage, under warranty.
@@sweetmeatbeatz3615 I've done a lot of practice without them, and a bit of it with them. (Particularly .22s that's a must!) I would think... they'd put it in their manual. Hey, don't dry fire with these! But I hope the new pin works out really well! And yeah, watch that spot in the frame for damage. Like I said, that's something they'll cover under warranty
After my experience…I’m sorry to me daggers are fun at the range firearms that’s it….as far as carry I can’t trust my life to a “Great Value” Glock 19 clone unless it has Glock OEM internals. The PSA dagger I’m in on Facebook users always having some issue. I would definitely get that Stoeger over the PSA dagger.
@Specialized51 Taurus is running a $30 rebate on all their G-series right now. Check it out, if you haven't already. Heard the trigger on those is Phenomenal! And that they're very very accurate pistols. I'm seriously thinking about picking one up too. Oh the video that I was just watching... the dude was one handing it like a 380. Recoil impulse is very flat.
I wonder what makes the Palmetto State armory trigger squishy and gritty? You can do a polish job to get rid of the gritty, but the squishy I would think would be a spring issue.
You actually should have the light stick out past the barrel on a close quarters carry gun. That way if the attacker unexpectedly got too close, they can't press up against your gun and put the slide out of battery. A light that protrudes further than the slide will help prevent that.

I sometimes conceal the G19 if it is fall/winter and I have an overshirt/jacket. But since I got the G26 I almost always go with the 26. Both are amazing. So I'd say the G19 is concealable, but I tend to prefer the 26 and carry a backup G19 mag. Keep in mind that I carry at 4 o clock. I know some people appendix carry the 19 and it seems to work for them.
@@Adam_Wilde Adam, a lot of people also "bandito" the 19 at appendix too. (That is NOT A RECOMMENDATION, unless... you WANT to blow your junk off....) Chryslertechnician - I've got several jackets that I could pocket my friend's 19 in. So it's... doable. I'm gonna be honest, if you're talking about IWB (Inside the Waist Band), it actually helps if you're more of a meaty guy, with the 19. Seems like the more curve you've got to you, the better that it hides. Is there smaller and lighter? Yes. It is a reliable firearm that is good for extended shooting? Oh yes. However, as will ALL recommendations, get your hands on one first. The grip, and grip angle, are a make it or break it for some people.
Out of 2 dagger frames, the mag releases are out of spec and wont release the mag unless pressed straight in. Pressing harder doesnt really help. I wish this want an issue because other than this problem (and the worse trigger) i think they are well made.
Frodo, it's not the spec. It's the spring. Very stiff and takes too long to break in. Recommended to replace it with a regular Glock 19 spring. Then, Happy thumbing 🙂 Edit: Well, they call it a spring. It's actually a spring steel rod.
That's actually the stoeger sc you have not the compact compact is just the regular str9 then str9f full size but I sold my stoeger bought a full size s complete dagger frame and compact x slide for 47 build
In the video it is a str9c which is the compact. There is the str9f which is full size. Str9 is mid, the str9c, str9sc and str9mc, not including the “combat” models
After I bought a Dagger and put 6-700 rds through it ...sold my g19 ..they work like a machine
Lol..ergos are miles worst on the glock then both guns ..but its 30 years old also
I almost bought the stoeger, but got a CZ P10S for $399 instead. Price difference was about $75. So I went with CZ.
You made a good choice. The p10 series are very good. Hell of a gun
Carry a CZ, Everything else goes in the trash. 🗑
Stoeger was 165$ after rebate. You made the right choice because you were about to get fleeced.

It really is a great choice. Very nice looking as well. Respect
@@spnfirearms Much respect I carry the hellcat OSP and I love it.
Glock 19 gen 4 is my carry. The sig and Canik both had problems terribly
Glock 19.. can't go wrong and one of my EDC in Alien gear shapeshift 4.0 holster. Have a great night👊
I think the Stoeger is the new glock. I hear nothing but good things about them.

Glock 43x with 124 Gr HST’s in a concealment express holster. Keep doin your thing SPN! 🤙🏼
Can't wait to see your Dagger build.
Yessir! Coming soon! Respect
Carried the psa 5.7 rock in a 209 urban carry lock leather holster
Fair enough! Great choices
I just picked up a GX4 Carry model. It might take the crown from your beloved Hell Cat Pro. It was $399…. Total steal.

@@user-dq9pq8uv4e every gun in the lineup is elligeble but the "carry" model.
I have 2 Stoegers. Very good firearms. Picked up used for under $200 each. One has a red dot.
My full size Dagger is much more comfortable than the glock. No contest imho
*Great video, quick question can you do a review on the Stoeger SRT 9MC* ?????
I wonder what makes the Palmetto State armory trigger squishy and gritty? You can do a polish job to get rid of the gritty, but the squishy I would think would be a spring issue.
They sell a polished trigger bar connector for 8.99. I have one but haven’t installed it yet. Supposedly that helps
Hi SPN,
Does the Sig P320 ACU from the P320 subcompact, fit in the Sig P320 full size and vise versa?
You actually should have the light stick out past the barrel on a close quarters carry gun. That way if the attacker unexpectedly got too close, they can't press up against your gun and put the slide out of battery. A light that protrudes further than the slide will help prevent that.

Thoughts on CZ P10c?
stoeger till this day
Can you use a G19 holster on a Stoeger STR9C
Love the videos
Thanks man, respect!
Going to try a 11lb recoil spring from a glock 17/34 for my pdp just to shoot flatter on the range
Is the Glock 19 too big to CCW?
In my a opinion yes! I carry Glock 26 sized firearms a smaller

I would like to see you compare the Andersen against it as well as possibly the AR Rex Delta
Arex Gen 2 is way underrated. I have two of them with one approaching 2000 rounds with zero malfunctions of any kind.
Surprised no CZ P10C
Yeeeeeee 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

That's actually the stoeger sc you have not the compact compact is just the regular str9 then str9f full size but I sold my stoeger bought a full size s complete dagger frame and compact x slide for 47 build
