Stoeger is heading to the 2025 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Atlanta, April 25–27, with a lineup built for those who demand performance with an accessible price. At Booth #2236, stop by to get a hands-on look at the STR-9 Combat XS and the streamlined STR-9 Thinline—both built for everyday carry and serious protection. Also on display: the hard-hitting M3000 Turkey shotguns, trusted by hunters who know what it takes to put birds on the ground, and the rugged P3000 and M3000 Tactical, made for reliable defense when it matters most. These are tools, not trophies—built to work as hard as you do.

STR-9 Combat XS

Stoeger engineers conceived the original STR-9 Combat X pistol as the ideal platform to provide civilians with a full-size, military-grade 9mm handgun. Mission accomplished. Now, Stoeger takes the STR-9 Combat X to the next level with the all-new STR-9 Combat SX. The STR-9 Combat SX is a true fighting pistol featuring a practical, straight grip design with expansive stipling and an aggressive backstrap for optimal weapon control and retention. A recessed thumb shelf and serrated memory pads assist in repeatable hand positioning to boost accuracy potential and to promote muscle memory. The theme of practical funtion extends to the slide, with its deeper serrations for quick, positive manipulation, and to the ambidextrous slide release levers, which are welcome assets for weak-hand operation. A beveled mag well promotes fast reloading, and the gun comes with three magazines — one 17-round mag with a flush base plate and two extended 20-round mags. Additional features include an accessory rail mount to accommodate a tactical light or laser, suppressor-height front and rear fiber optic sights with rear sight adjustability, and an optic cut with two mounting plates for direct mounting of a red dot. Regarding the raised sights, Stoeger includes these because the barrel comes threaded for use with a suppressor or aftermarket muzzle device. The final distinction of the STR-9 Combat SX is its unique color within the Combat pistol line. This model comes with Smoked Bronze Cerakote on the slide and frame — a perfect primary hue for the black barrel, trigger, and operational control accents.

STR-9 Thinline

The criteria for deep-concealing an everyday carry pistol starts with an ultra-compact profile and short dimensions. To satisfy the requirements of concealable carry and confident operation, Stoeger engineers have developed the STR-9 Thinline — a crossover pistol with dimensions suited to the needs of the CCW practitioner but with a grip configuration more in line with a compact handgun. The STR-9 Thinline gets its name from its slender, one-inch-wide slide and frame assembly, which is the same dimension as Stoeger’s STR-9MC micro-compact 9mm. The difference is in the extended grip length. With ample room available for all three gripping fingers plus enhanced stippling patches, the STR-9 Thinline offers a solid hand wrap and full support for improved accuracy, faster follow-up shots, and positive weapon retention. But don’t let the lean profile fool you; the STR-9 Thinline makes no compromises. This striker-fired 9mm offers 14- and 16-round capacity with its three included magazines. The front and rear tritium sights ensure a clean sight picture and rapid sight alignment across a full range of lighting conditions. Should you desire a pistol-mounted optic, the STR-9 Thinline stands ready to receive with an optic cut that is direct-mount-compatible with sights featuring the RMSc Shield footprint.

M3000 Turkey

Hunters have long valued Stoeger’s M3000-series semi-auto shotguns for their durability, reliable performance, and practical sensibilities — not to mention the attractive price. This year, Stoeger leans hard into the turkey hunting segment with the introduction of two models developed for guys and gals who chase spring toms with a passion. The new M3000 Turkey Edition and the M3020 Turkey Edition come chambered in 12- and 20-gauge 2 3/4- and 3-inch, respectively. With their 4+1 capacity and included extra-full turkey choke, these Turkey Edition shotguns have what it takes to deliver payloads with quick, accurate authority. But that’s not all. The M3000-series Turkey Edition models offer maximum concealment in a broad range of hunting environments courtesy of their buttstock-to-muzzle Mossy Oak® Bottomland™ camo finish. Furthermore, each gun offers diverse sighting options. Both include an easy-to-see Hi-Viz® fiber-optic front sight atop the 22-inch barrel along with optic-mounting capabilities. The M3000 Turkey Edition receiver is cut at the factory to accept optics using supplied adapter plates that have an RMR or Burris footprint, while the M3020 Turkey Edition comes with an installed Picatinny rail for no-fuss optic mounting. Since turkey guns often require hands-free carry, both models include a color-matching paracord-style adjustable sling. Whether you favor ground blind or run-and-gun hunting, the new Stoeger M3000 and M3020 Turkey Edition shotguns can be counted on to get the job done…right out of the box.

P3000 Tactical

Defense professionals often emphasize the importance of straightforward and effective solutions for home and personal defense. This philosophy is clearly reflected in Stoeger’s latest addition to its expanding tactical shotgun lineup. Developed as an ultra-dependable shotgun with a price that won’t bust the budget, the new P3000 Tactical is a no-nonsense 12-gauge that is perfect as a primary home defender or truck gun. While the P3000 Tactical is based on Stoeger’s proven P3000 pump-action workhorse, several enhancements place it firmly in the defensive firearm category. First is the all-new stock system featured on each one of Stoeger’s new-for-2025 Tactical-series shotguns. Designed as a hybrid between a traditional fixed stock and the pistol grip/AR-style stock configurations seen on many tactical shotguns, the P3000 Tactical stock incorporates a pronounced pistol grip for optimal weapon retention and muzzle control with a buttstock featuring both QD swivel and M-LOK mounting points for multiple sling arrangements. An elevated cheek riser ensures good eye alignment behind the factory open sight system or the user’s optic of choice. The P3000 Tactical includes the same sturdy, impact-resistant rear ghost ring and front post arrangement found on more expensive defensive shotguns. If optics are your preference, it’s easy to mount one onto the included Picatinny top rail or the factory optic cut using supplied adaptor plates that have an RMR or Burris footprint. The P3000 Tactical is chambered for 2 3/4- and 3-inch shotshells and is capable of handling 3-inch magnum loads. Capacity is 4+1, and the shotshells feed through an expanded and beveled loading port to facilitate quick target reengagement. Finally, the P3000 Tactical comes with an OD Green Cerakote® finish that is rust and corrosion resistant.

M3000 Tactical

Shotgun enthusiasts have come to know Stoeger’s M3000 semi-auto shotgun as a go-anywhere, do-anything platform for all manner of hunting and clay-busting pursuits. For 2025, Stoeger expands its M3000 lineup into the personal defense realm with the addition of the all-new M3000 Tactical. Powered by the “cycles-anything” Inertia Driven® system, with its clean operation and rotating bolt head for positive lockup, the M3000 Tactical is the practical choice for those looking for a highly capable, always dependable semi-auto shotgun for home and personal defense. The M3000 Tactical begins with a Tungsten Cerakote® receiver fitted with an 18.5-inch barrel. The barrel comes with a breacher-style choke and a pedestal front sight that is built to take the hard knocks. This sight works in conjunction with a robust ghost ring rear sight for fast and accurate sight picture acquisition. Those who prefer an optic can take advantage of the included Picatinny rail or the factory optic cut using supplied adaptor plates that have an RMR or Burris footprint. Validating the shotgun’s fighting credentials is a tactical-style stock hosting an ergonomic pistol grip with an integrated buttstock. The stock includes both M-LOK and QD mounting points for diverse sling positioning and a prominent cheek riser to ensure good eye alignment with the open sights or an optic. As with all M3000-series shotguns, the M3000 Tactical features a large bolt handle, an oversized bolt release, and a large safety button to assist in high-stress operation. Similarly, the loading port is beveled to promote fast reloading. The M3000 Tactical is offered in a 2 3/4- and 3-inch 12-gauge chamber with a 4+1 capacity.
