Meet the STK Series | Striker-Fired Pistols with 1911 Feel

Written by Team Armscor | Apr 14, 2025

 

You spoke — our Armscor team listened. The STK line of firearms is the direct result of shooter feedback, reimagined into a trio of aluminum pistols that shoot smoother, carry smarter, and feel better in hand. Whether you’re after full-size firepower or concealed carry confidence, the STK lineup is designed with real-world use in mind.

These aren’t just updates. They’re upgrades inspired by you. With better grips, smarter sizing, and pro-level touches like optics-ready slides and flat triggers, the STK series reflects what today’s shooters actually want. It's a product series born from experience — and built for yours.

Who's the STK series for?

The aluminum frame adds welcome heft, reducing recoil and muzzle flip. It’s a noticeable upgrade from polymer competitors, offering a premium feel without breaking the bank.

Each model serves a purpose:

  • STK100 Ultra: Best for duty use, open carry, or training days.
  • STK150: Balanced for concealed carry with full-size comfort.
  • STK200: Ideal for deep concealment with excellent control.

 

While each model may work best in certain environments, they are all great options for anyone looking for a reliable handgun.

“All three options are great for range day guns and everyday carry,” explained John. “You can use any of these guns for a multitude of purposes.”

Additionally, all three semi-automatic, striker-fired pistols ship with two optic plates for RMR and RMSc footprints. Each handgun should also be compatible with select aftermarket magazines if you should prefer more rounds.

Let’s meet the standout models — STK100 Ultra, STK150, and STK200! Find out which one is right for you.

 

full-size, Full of Features — STK100 Ultra

The STK100 Ultra isn’t just an update — it’s a full reimagining of Armscor’s original STK100. With a 1911-style grip angle, deeper checkering, a flat-face trigger, and suppressor-height sights, it’s built for control and comfort.

"We redesigned the grip to feel less like a Gen 3 Glock and more like a 1911," John said.

It also features a machined magwell into the bottom for smoother reloads and a flat-face trigger that offers a more aftermarket feel.

This full-sized 17+1 pistol is ideal for range days, duty use, or open carry.

 

The Best of Both Worlds — STK150

Want a bit more concealability without sacrificing capacity? The STK150 blends a compact slide and barrel with a full-sized grip, still giving you 17+1 rounds of 9mm firepower. It also introduces a true, single-piece aluminum frame, unlike the clamshell of earlier models, and adds grip relief cuts to accommodate smaller hands.

It’s a sweet spot for those looking to carry all day with a slightly more compact footprint but full control.

 

 

 

compact & Concealed — STK200

For those prioritizing concealed carry, the STK200 is the one for you. It’s the smallest of the STK family with a true compact frame and a 15-round magazine. You still get ambidextrous mag releases, the aggressive grip texture, and full optics-ready capability — without skimping on handleability.

It’s nimble, reliable, and just right for inside-the-waistband everyday carry.
