Stoeger Industries is rolling out several new firearms for 2023, including a variety of  striker-fired semi-automatic pistols as well as a semi-automatic shotgun that's competition-ready out of the box. 

To begin with, Stoeger is adding four new models to the STR-9 pistol line. These new pistols are all optics-ready right out of the box and come with either a 15+1 round capacity or a 10+1 round capacity and your choice of either quick-read 3-dot sights or tritium night sights. All of these new pistols have a matte black nitride-hardened finish and come with two magazines and three interchangeable back straps.

  • Action: Striker-fired
  • Barrel Length: 4.17 inches

Next up, Stoeger is expanding the STR line by introducing the new STR-40, with an MSRP of just $329. The STR-40 has a nitride-hardened matte black receiver, loaded chamber indicator, aggressive front and rear slide serrations for easy actuation, internal safety, and a reversible magazine release. The pistol has a mid-size frame with an accessory rail for lights or lasers. A quick-read three-dot sight system delivers a clear sight picture for fast follow-up shots and is offered with either a 12+1 or 10+1 capacity. 

In addition to the standard models, the STR-40 is also available with an optic-compatible slide and either three dot sights or tritium night sights with 12- or 10-round capacity magazines. The three dot versions of the STR-40 ship with one magazine and backstrap, while the other versions ship with two magazines and three interchangeable backstraps.

Lastly, Stoeger is rolling out the M3K 3-Gun Model with a racy blue anodized aluminum bolt release, oversized safety, and anodized blue aluminum bolt handle and other features typically found on higher-priced shotguns. The M3K 3 Gun has  24-inch barrel and cycles 2 3/4 and 3-inch 12 gauge loads with ease, thanks to its Inertia Driven System, while an elongated carrier and enlarged, beveled loading port make reloading fast. There is also a new recoil pad to absorb shock, while an integrated cheek pad ensures cheek-to-stock weld and a direct view down the vented rib to the red-bar front sight. A shim kit is also included to customize fit, and the gun comes with C, IC, and M chokes.
