 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at a new release from Stoker called the STR9F, full size 9mm handgun that has a 4.7 inch barrel and 17 round mags. If you know the history, you know they started out in 2019 with the STR9 with a 4.1 inch barrel, 15 round mags, then they came out with the STR9C with a 3.8 inch barrel, 13 round mags all our budget price including the STR9F and for 2022 they have the subcompact model with 10 round mags and a three and a half inch barrel and the full size. I went with the full size, I love full size handguns and I think Stoker did a very nice job and they did not raise the MSRP. This model here with one backstrap, one magazine, pistol, lock, paperwork, everything else, 329 MSRP and I think that is a great deal. One of the things I noticed right away was they went with a flat face trigger, it does have a trigger bar safety in there. If we look at the STR9C, you can see that's a rounded trigger, same grip texturing, very deep slide serrations on both but here we have the longer barrel 4.7 inch and 17 round mags. It's labeled 15 rounds but you can see that there's some extra real estate in there to add a couple more rounds. Take a look at the pistol, we can see that it does have metal three dot sights, rather large dots to pick up quite a bit, nice sight radius there real long, already mentioned the flat face trigger full pick rail and a medium backstrap it comes with which is fine by me that fits my what I consider average size hands really well. If you look at the grip texturing you can see slight grooves there but they don't interfere with my grip and my finger placement on the grip and I'm happy for that I cannot say that with several other models but it still has the deep cut slide serrations and that longer sight radius. I think it's a fine handgun. The STR9 that I had and the STR9C that I currently have have all performed very well and I have no doubt that this will perform just as well. If we look at the slide stop we can see it sits flush very consistent with the models okay real real flush there and a pretty wide trigger guard you can see it bevels down a little bit undercut right there and an overall nice feel. If we check out the trigger we will see that it's got a nice crisp break no over travel with a very short reset. I like the Stoker triggers I like what they did they they have some you know the STR9 series it's now a series they make them optic ready they have some with threaded barrels and that always jacks up the price a bit they also offer options night sight additional back straps additional magazines whatever you want there's an increased cost with that as we would expect but I love full-size handguns and I think they did a very nice job now I did bring out the Ruger American Competition this has a five inch barrel 17 round mags probably the best that I could think of to compare you can see the Stoker is a little bit shorter with the shorter barrel length right there and if we look at the grip length we'll see that it's just about the same if I put that mag back in there that'll make up for that quarter inch but the grip length is approximately the same as the Ruger American Competition let's go ahead and check this thing out we'll take it apart here one of the things I like that Stoker did was they didn't cheap out and what I mean by that was they went with metal sights and a steel guide rod to capture a guide rod with a single spring and here is your 4.7 inch barrel easy disassemble same as a Glock does have those takedown levers and I do appreciate the all steel guide rod and easy disassemble and reassemble let's go ahead and get it on the scale I like what they did with the STR Dines I think they did a nice job I currently have two of them and this is weighing in at 1 pounds 9 and 7 8 ounces we move that to just ounces 25 26 ounces it's not making its mind up just for comparative purposes 34 ounces both are unloaded but if we throw in 17 rounds we'll see that it's weighing in at 33 and an eighth carry around there 33 and 58 33 and a half ounces for a full size handgun which I think is right there like a lot of compact size handguns loaded we'll weigh that so I think it's a bit lighter you know polymer frame striker fire it's a it's a simple design but it is pretty reliable the the STR Dines that I've had and currently have have been very reliable they compare well with other guns and the MSRP of 329 I think is a great deal I I think it's a phenomenal deal 329 now people have said that Stoker bags are hard to come by and that may be true I haven't you know I've always gone the cheap route 329 I haven't really upgraded much but if they're hard to come by then maybe that's part of the deal that you get with a budget price handgun but I do think it's a nice gun I like that flat trigger I like the five and a half trigger power weight and I think Stoker came out with the full size handgun that I'm going to enjoy and I think you may enjoy it I'm gonna take it to the range shortly we'll see how it runs in all expectations is that it will do quite well if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
