The 2020 SHOT Show seems to be shaping up as the Year of the Pistol-Mounted Optic as more shooters are learning how pistol-mounted optics can help our accuracy...and more manufacturers are getting on board. Last year, Stoeger made a huge splash with its STR-9 striker-fired pistol; this year, the company is beefing up its line with their new Optics-Ready model. This semi-automatic handgun, Stoeger's first, follows the company tradition of quality firearms at wallet-friendly prices with a base model for just $389 MSRP (meaning it's likely to be much less at dealers). Your average gun owner would be forgiven for fretting about how much extra an optics-ready model would cost them...and the answer is $10. Yes, that's right: This means that, at just $399 MSRP, the STR-9 Optics Ready is sufficiently reasonable that you'll have plenty of cash to go towards that optic.
