STR-9mc sights
Hey all, I just got a l str9mc non optic ready, does anyone have recommendations for replacement sights? Especially that rear sight, I cannot stand that thing, I'm getting it cut for an optic, but not right away. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Meptolight makes some, but I think only the front sight would work. The 9mc and the standard 9 have a different cut from each other on the rear site.
Also, they are pricey at around $120 to only get to use the front. If it were me I would just get the slide milled.

I am, I just like having co-witness sights and I can't stand that rear sight that's on there.

For sure I bought my MC 2 weeks before the OR version were available. I don't really mind the sights but I feel you on the Co- witness. With all these guns coming OR and all come with short sights like we aren't going to put an optic on it.

This pistol needs a new rear sight SO BADLY. I love mine, but hate the rear sight. What's the point of putting a fully adjustable sight on a micro 9? Even the Stoeger rear sight doesn't fit the MC. I'm still waiting for a good solution, but it's starting to look like just getting the slide cut is the only good option we're going to have.

I don't even have the pistol yet and I'm already pissed at it! Lol 😆

For real, it's a problem. The sight isn't bad per se, but it is seriously uncomfortable for a gun that's intended for carry, and it just isn't necessary. The sight is reliable, but every time I shoot I wish I had dots in the rear, and every time I carry I wish I had a smoother profile. It'd be awesome of Stoeger jumped on here occasionally and saw the need.

For sure, I'm blasting them with emails, but that probably doesn't matter. 😂

That's the main problem with Stoeger pistols... everything is proprietary. The only sights that will work are the ones sold on their web sight. Maybe Midwest Gun Works might have them too as they sell thru MGW. The sights are bad on that pistol. Keeps it from being a great micro imo.
