Not familiar with the STR-9? As consumers are already learning, it's an extremely shootable gun that cycles cleanly and reliably--and serves just as well inside your waistband for concealed carry as it does for home defense and target shooting. It boasts a corrosion-resistant black nitride finish for everyday carry and durability. It comes with three available interchangeable backstrap grips for a custom fit, so shooters of all hand sizes can shoot it comfortably, and sports a 4.17-inch barrel. With an overall length of 7.44 inches and weighing 1.5 pounds, the STR-9 isn't the smallest of the carry guns on the market, but it's definitely still concealable. That tiny bit of extra weight and that tiny bit of additional sight radius afforded by the longer barrel means that this 9mm self-defense firearm is easy and comfortable to shoot, even for neophytes.
