POTD: Shooting The Stribog SP9A3G
I don’t know who came up with the font for the Slovakian Stribog SP9A3G logotype printed on the side, but I‘ve seen better. It’s still a pretty sharp pistol caliber carbine, and Stribogs have left pretty deep scars on owners of much more expensive and much more dedicated PCCs. Time for another Photo Of The Day, with a Slovakian touch, and some more information.
Need proof? Well, the overall winner of the 2025 IPSC PCC/Mini Rifle World Shoot was Pavol Zencar from Slovakia. Team USA achieved significant success, but number one on the podium was Pavol with his Stribog. It looked pretty stock to me.
This is not Pavol’s rifle, but it's still a beast in skilled hands.
The red dot is the Aimpoint Duty RDS, with a magnifier.
Yes, it takes Glock magazines.
The Stribog with a clean Picatinny rail. Sights are preferred, but I can do without a magnifier on a PCC.

A magnifier on a short barreled 9mm PCC? Really?
