This article will discuss the possible causes and remedies to some of these issues. So, let’s get into the detailed information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Magazine Fails To Drop Freely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many users have reported that the palmer inside the gun has a very poor design. There are two rails inside the gun that eat away at the magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stoeger had the pistol selling with only one magazine for under $300. The stripes rub away at the magazine leaving 2 clear lines on it. That creates the issue where the magazine doesn\u2019t drop free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before attempting more complicated procedures, you must first undertake easy repairs. Applying tool oil can get the magazine dropping freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a thin coat of Kobalt air tool oil on the magazine or frog lube and wipe off every bit. Use the lube inside of the grip and clean that thoroughly as well and it should solve the issue for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more permanent solutions send the unit back to Stoeger for repairs. They will replace the guide rod assembly and the excess casting from the magazine well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the magazine being healthy is an important thing, get the option to have three mags along with the gun which will cost around $350.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Carbon Residue Inside The Barrel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every gun has this issue. This is not a major issue that one needs to be concerned about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to my study, The barrel collects carbon residue and if that stays inside for longer periods it can jam the barrel very quickly. A jammed barrel then goes on to cause other problems while shooting with the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Disassemble the pistol first. The disassembly resembles that of the Glock. Pull down the Glock takedown tabs. Remove the recoil spring and underneath it, you will find the barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find Carbon and Polin residue inside. Take a clean cloth spray some rem oil on it and rub it against the feed ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s still dirty, then spray the rem oil on the feed ramp directly and rub the cloth against it. You can also use a brush to rub the dirt off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To clean the interior of the barrel, spray a generous amount of rem oil inside it, take a cleaning rod and rotate it inside the barrel to get the residue out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Cheap Trigger, Prone to Breaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The overall shape and feel of the Stoeger STR-9 are impeccable except for the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gunowners who got to handle this pistol did not like the trigger at all. The trigger is heavy and plain weird. It is cheaply made and very gritty and one of the worst triggers used in a pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is not much you can do for a bad trigger except for sending it back to Stoeger to get it checked. If the trigger is broken then they will replace it and clean the interior of the gun along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To know if the trigger on a Stoeger is going bad or malfunctioning simply release the mag and try pressing it. If it shoots without a magazine then you need to get it fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Jamming Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the head is stuck then it might be because the magazine spring is malfunctioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A faulty magazine spring can cause the jamming issue in the barrel, the hammer and even the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the spring is in a good condition then it may be a major mechanical issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users who don\u2019t have proficiency in reassembling a firearm can cause the problem for themselves and end up sending it for repair and that can sometimes get expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The easiest solution is to clean the magazine spring and see if that helps to clear the jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it still gets stuck then replace the spring entirely and that should solve most of the jamming issue inside the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If nothing works then you are in bad luck and have to send it back to the company, Stoeger to get it checked and possibly fixed. If it\u2019s a major issue they will send a replacement unit back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Feedback on Stoeger STR-9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customer Feedback on the Stoeger STR-9 is very positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to my study, the only issue that users had was with the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many users have complained about the trigger being cheap and prone to breaking or jamming. The design of the trigger is also very poor and simply weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you can get it fixed by sending your unit back to Stoeger for an RMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from that users are very satisfied with how the pistol handles itself. Accuracy is very good. The Gun is very reliable and the overall build feels very premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
