 Hey there friends thanks for checking in back with the budget series and today we're looking at a Stoker STR-9C. This is certainly a budget gun you can pick this up right now for under 300 bucks and I've had this for a couple years now and I can never remember having any failure of any kind. Now they originally came out with the larger model with a 4.2 inch barrel this has a 3.8 inch barrel and 13 round magazines. Stoker offers certain packages where you can have additional magazines additional back straps and night sights and that all comes at a cost an increased cost. Right now the MSRP on this is 329 and Stoker did not increase the MSRP like so many other manufacturers have throughout the years but you take a look at those slide serrations they are wide both front and rear serrations work really well nice ergonomic grip grip module here okay more than just a back strap I went cheap I went with the one mag one back strap and three dot sights but the three dot sights are metal all right they are drift adjustable and a pinned in front dot nice looking gun decent trigger to it easy disassemble it has been great for me honestly I've been very happy with it and for a budget gun under 300 bucks I think it is a pretty good deal now the trigger which does have a trigger bar safety in there has a blade I'm measuring right at six pounds sometimes six and a quarter and you're looking at a reset right there people call this a copy you know oh that's a that's a glut copy man well perhaps it is but Stoker did a very nice job with it now it's not a subcompact gun it may look like that with this video but it pretty much measures up well with say the sig p320x compact or the breta apx centurion actually I have that out now let's take a look at these two handguns the apx centurion has a 15 round mag we'll look at the slide length very similar a little fatter width with the centurion I'll look at the grip longer with the breta because it has an additional two rounds but this is a fine handgun at a nice price and I like the larger str9 this is the str9c and they now make these optic ready and so forth so Stoker not only came out with a very reliable handgun but they also came out with additional models that have upgraded features but how will it do with a lyprous test let's check that out let's check out the Stoker str9c reliability with a lyprous test nice everything has been great with this handgun so far the Stoker str9c has a nice ergonomic grip there three finger contact feels really nice a full pick rail it has a loaded chamber indicator bar that sticks up with a loaded round and it weighs 30 ounces loaded with 14 rounds so not bad you know it's a mid-sized handgun with a 13 round mag that sure has performed well for me throughout the years proud to feature this in the budget series and I hope that you got a good feel and look at the Stoker str9c if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
