There will be plenty to see at the 153rd annual National Rifle Association meetings and exhibits this weekend at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, including new guns from Stoeger and new optics from Burris.
As detailed by company announcements, Stoeger will be presenting several new-for-2024 models across its semi-auto shotgun lineup, including the M3500 Predator/Turkey, the M3000 Compact, and the Model 3000 Signature Edition in celebration of the company’s 100th anniversary.
In the handgun segment, Stoeger continues the momentum of its STR line of personal defense semi-auto pistols with the introduction of two new models. These include the STR-45 — the first in the STR series chambered for the .45 ACP — and the STR-9 Combat X, a full-size, full-feature 9mm built to the standards of defense professionals.
In addition to the all-new STR models, Stoeger expands the STR-9 series this year with new Cerakote color options across the full-size and mid-size models.
While NRA members are exploring the new firearm offerings by Stoeger, they can also talk with noted firearm industry leader and broadcast personality Michael Bane. Michael has served as the creator and producer of several firearms programs — including Shooting Gallery, The Best Defense Gun Stories with Joe Mantegna, Cowboys, Rapid Fire, and TBD Survival — and he helped to launch both the USPSA and IDPA practical shooting organizations.
Michael will be at the Stoeger STR counter in Booth #7502 on Saturday, May 18, from 1-3 pm to sign autographs and to chat with shooting sports enthusiasts and fans.
