A few months ago I purchased two Stoeger STR9 Compact pistols (because 2 is better than 1, right?). They do have consecutive serial numbers, which is kind of neat.
I ran into a couple logistical problems with them. First, it was so new to the market that I couldn't find any pistol-specific Kydex IWB holsters for them.
Second, I couldn't locate any 13-round compact magazines, though 15-round mags for the full size exist.
I got around the holster issue after discovering the kydex holsters for the SAR9 fit nearly perfectly (I have 2 SAR9s). As for the magazines, I simply use the magazine from the second STR9c as the spare.
Now I find myself carrying the STR9c most often, even though I didn't really intend to carry it. My primary carry is suppose to be my Sig 365 or gen4 G19.
I find the STR9c easier and more comfortable to carry than either the P365 or G19. I also find it amazingly ergonomic and points very well. I find the front sight seemingly tracts automatically on target when drawing.
So here I have a "budget" Turkish handgun cutting the line and skipping carry rotation.
Has anyone else experienced this?
