You will likely get the gun back with a 40 degree vs. the shipped 45 degree locking block. If you are shooting hot ammo you will want to go back to that 45 degree locking block. Weak range ammo wasn't cutting it with the 45 degree locking block the guns shipped with so they went to a 40 degree. I do not recall if there where any other changes. |

View Quote I have a lingle lower that uses CZ mags, but all I run is hollow points (147 lgr hst and 147gr v-crown) without issues. Why wouldn't you test it yourself since you already have the gun instead of listening to what you "heard"? |

I found Stribog HATES conical bullets. But likes most long 147s Also, only use curved mags. Also, you can buy a plastic housing lower (which is not the serial number part), that will take CZ mags, while still being roller delayed. |

View Quote The Stribog devours Gold Dot and HST 124 JHPs, which is good enough for me. I don't run 147s in any 9mm, only 124s at ~NATO velocity, which also pick up a nice chunk of speed in long barrels. |

What’s the reliability of these newer sp9a3 guns? The price and roller delay have me seriously interested. Would you trust your life to one, or is it a cool range toy?

Thinking about picking up a SP9A3S. I see some website stock phots show it coming with the picatinny stock adapter and some show it doesn't. How do you know which one you're getting?

i just received my Stribog SP9A3S from Gunzonedeals. this is the most inaccurate POS i’ve ever shot. my micro carry pistols are FAR more accurate than this POS. i’m not impressed to say the least. i’ve tried multiple types of ammo(known accurate hand loads, factory ammo, heavy/light, etc doesn’t matter), tried multiple optics, swapped the muzzle devices, etc etc etc. it won’t even stay on a piece of regular ole 8.5x11 computer paper at 20 yards.
i wanted to like this thing, idk what im going to do next. the last thing i want to do is send this to fuckin slovakia and wait months to get it back. |

am i expecting too much? the first 2 shots were the far left holes right under 6mmbr.com. this is at 25 yards, prone off a bipod, using aimpoint T1 with Eotech magnifier. My handguns with red dots are FAR more accurate than this. so i’d say it isn’t user error at this point lol. ETA: was at 25yards not 20. |

10-4 i will check with them first.
BUT, i found something that helped. i ordered the HB short stroke buffer and installed it prior to shooting the Stribog. i took the HB buffer out and now the pistol is shooting more accurate than it was, still not up to par but better. does that make any sense? i’m used to AR’s, where a buffer would not cause these accuracy issues and you’d run into other issues before accuracy was the problem. so why would a short stroke buffer cause accuracy issues with the Stribog? if that wasn’t the cause and it’s just a coincidence, then i guess after putting close to 300 rounds from different loads, it finally has “broken” in? i will try the short stroke again eventually just to see what happens. |

View Quote That makes no sense at all to me. The bullet is long gone before anything gets close to the bumper. The bullet is long gone before the roller is even all the way clear. I suspect that coincidental, and what you may be experiencing is rounds smoothing out some defect in your barrel (or whatever). Still not OK, even if that's so - I'd still call Global Ordinance on this. The accuracy issues you are experience shouldn't have anything to do with the buffer or even the ammo, so long as your test ammo isn't pure garbage. Multiple brands all shoot like Hell like that? No. The issue is something mechanical in the gun, be it the barrel, or the sighting system being actually secured to the barrel (i.e. you are sure you're sights are on good, and have tried multiple sights, yes?), or the barrel is loose, or you suck as a shooter. Often it's the later, but I have a doubt it's really you in this case. Get someone else to shoot it. To confirm though: -Barrel seems to be tight (you can't wiggle it by hand?) - repeat that wiggle test after it gets hot btw. -Sights are well mounted - (and multiples tried?) - wiggle them. -Barrel dimensions and rifling look OK? (do you have a bore-scope?) -You are shouldering it consistently? (don't answer that btw - mine is SBR'd, yours maybe is maybe isn't - but if you so happen to have an armbrace and it's not SBR'd, you are legal to have it during our injunction. You are not so certainly legal to Intent To Shoulder Fire It. There's no injunction against NFA SBR law, only against possessing a gun with an armbrace that all the lawyers are saying are of course to be used as armbraces, your honor. (just don't post any pictures is all, I don't actually care; and I don't think very many ATF/FBI/USDA/DOE/whatever/agents/USAG's even care either, but don't make it easy. They like easy). Also, you don't have to be a CSI investigator here. There's a reason the gun has a warranty - give them a call. Even if it gets better after you break in (which is what I think is happening); something was jacked up - they need to fix that if so. |

Sounds like you have something loose.
If the barrel is in good shape, it's got to be loose/bad optic or loose barrel nuts (there's two, it's double nutted). |

If sight picture/sight alignment is consistent or with RDS you have the dot centered to remove parallax variables and it’s installed correctly how does it matter Sure it does. The gun does move some while the bullet is travelling down the barrel. not a lot, but it can. Here's a shot of a 1911. Look at the 10 second mark, you can see the gun has some movement activity before the bullet exits. How you hold that gun will affect how much it moves before the bullet exits. It's why sometimes heavy bullets will impact higher than light bullets out of a pistol, the slower moving heavy bullet pushes back on the gun more which moves more before it exits. Pistol Shot Recorded at 73,000 Frames Per Second In my own tests, it was remarkable how much the bullet impact moved in my Stribog, based on how I held it. But sure, maybe I wasn't consistently alighing the sights the same in correlation to how weak I held it. here's another one. Look at 21 seconds. And note how the gun is moving before the bullet exits 357 Magnum at 224,000 FPS - in Ultra Slow Motion Every rifle competitor learns real quick that at 600 yards how you hold your rifle can change where you are hitting. It's one reason why I sometimes shoot from a sling testing stuff at 600 yards, because the sling tension and position you have to be in for each shot, is actually more controlled than just plopping down at a bench. I do remember being surprised at just how profound it was with the Stribog, moving a 25 yard point of impact almost all the way off a 10" piece of paper. |

i sent the Stribog off to Global Ordnance today, hopefully they can get it fixed pretty quick.
i built and sighted in a cheaper 9mm AR today, using one of BKings 8.375” barrels and a PA MD-25 red dot. it shoots surprisingly accurate. multiple 3 round cloverleaf groups and multiple 10 round groups into one jagged hole. i’m hoping GO can get my Stribog close to performing like this cheap 9mm AR. |

View Quote Don’t really understand the appeal of the binary triggers, but always happy to see more aftermarket support for these guns. They’re so much better performers than most give them credit for, especially once you start feeding them from Scorpion mags. |

I suspect that coincidental, and what you may be experiencing is rounds smoothing out some defect in your barrel (or whatever). Still not OK, even if that's so - I'd still call Global Ordinance on this. The accuracy issues you are experience shouldn't have anything to do with the buffer or even the ammo, so long as your test ammo isn't pure garbage. Multiple brands all shoot like Hell like that? No. The issue is something mechanical in the gun, be it the barrel, or the sighting system being actually secured to the barrel (i.e. you are sure you're sights are on good, and have tried multiple sights, yes?), or the barrel is loose, or you suck as a shooter. Often it's the later, but I have a doubt it's really you in this case. Get someone else to shoot it. To confirm though: -Barrel seems to be tight (you can't wiggle it by hand?) - repeat that wiggle test after it gets hot btw. -Sights are well mounted - (and multiples tried?) - wiggle them. -Barrel dimensions and rifling look OK? (do you have a bore-scope?) -You are shouldering it consistently? (don't answer that btw - mine is SBR'd, yours maybe is maybe isn't - but if you so happen to have an armbrace and it's not SBR'd, you are legal to have it during our injunction. You are not so certainly legal to Intent To Shoulder Fire It. There's no injunction against NFA SBR law, only against possessing a gun with an armbrace that all the lawyers are saying are of course to be used as armbraces, your honor. (just don't post any pictures is all, I don't actually care; and I don't think very many ATF/FBI/USDA/DOE/whatever/agents/USAG's even care either, but don't make it easy. They like easy). Also, you don't have to be a CSI investigator here. There's a reason the gun has a warranty - give them a call. Even if it gets better after you break in (which is what I think is happening); something was jacked up - they need to fix that if so. I’m not understanding why you think shouldering matters. If sight picture/sight alignment is consistent or with RDS you have the dot centered to remove parallax variables and it’s installed correctly how does it matter Sure it does.

To follow-up, with some low grade cheap reloads, I tested at 50 yards. The POI elevated by about 2" and the group size natsbly increased when I fired it resting on a bag but not shouldered, vs fired it same, but well shouldered. In the past it seemed like the jump was much worse, but this was fairly mild ammo and I had upgraded to the stronger 40degree weight. |

There's a LOT of guns out there that cost a LOT more than a Stribog that can't do 4 MOA. |

Anyone know if the 10mm uses UMP45 pattern or UMP40 pattern mags?

I have a SP9A3 with a low serial (GSB16##).
I haven’t had any issues with it but I’ve been out of the Stribog (and shooting scene) for about two years. Back then, there were some initial issues with the angled locking block and I contacted GO and they sent me a US marked one so I now have both. I have installed an HBI buffer as well as played with a B&T hydraulic buffer which I’ve got working. My question is - does my gun need any other changes done by GO? Is the locking piece the only thing that’s changed when you send it in? Want there an issue with the rails being gouged somehow? If so, how was/would I address that? Just want this to last as long as possible. Thanks! |

Put the original weight block back in when the new bolt comes in (free); which will also mitigate the degree of bolt velocity and potential for gouging. Ppretty sure it's the roller impacted down upon bottoming out at the end recoil cycle, getting smacked down by the inertia of the block; that caused that. The the higher the velocity the worse it will be - both mitigated by the above. |

I have a question on a SP9A3.
I have a Stribog SP9A3 unfired from about 2 years ago. It came with one curved mag and to metal reinforced straight mags. The locking piece is not marked US. What am I looking for when it comes to potential issues. What should I be looking for to avoid the roller damaging the receiver? |

View Quote Discard the straight mags (you won't, but you get the picture). Keep your unmarked roller locking piece, it's fine (my preference). JMHO, but the "issue" they were trying to fix with that, had more to do with the feed lips are too short on the straight mags, and the curved ones finally got that part right. That's actually the big improvement with the curved mags. The curve is good and helps with smoother loading and feeding, but I think the jamming had more to do with the lips, than the curve - which is now fixed. The US roller was just part of a spectrum of things they "fixed" all at once, and I don't think that "fix" was actually needed, so much as a post4000 SN bolt. You can ask Global for a new US marked roller block one and they'll send it to you, but don't actually use it. Make sure you have the post 4000 SN bolt. Put in the HBI recoil buffer. Might as well upgrade to their safety selector and low profile muzzle-break/thread cap while there and paying shipping anyway. |

Anything to look for with the bulging receiver? |

Thanks for all the help.
I sent and email with photos of all the parts to Global Ordinance. The Stribog was purchased from Atlanta Firearms on 02.25.2022. it came with one curved mag, a curved trigger and the locking peace is stamped 45.Is there any chance this was upgraded as it seems to be past the "fix" announcement from Global. The bolt does not have a serial number on it. Again, this place is great. |
