SAR USA Introduces the SAR9 Compact

SAR USA by Sarsilmaz, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of firearms, has released the new SAR9 Compact pistol. Built on the same platform as the legendary SAR9, it is a rigorously tested pistol, one that is proudly carried by NATO and elite forces around the world. “The SAR9 Compact was inspired by feedback we received from elite shooting professionals, dealers, and consumers,” says Todd Pearson, COO of SAR USA. “We listened to the shooting-sports community when they asked for the same incredible durability and performance of the SAR9 in a more-compact version.”

Chambered in 9mm, the SAR9 Compact points naturally and offers a perfect balance between a micro- and a full-size pistol. It’s small and light enough to be easily concealed and comfortably carried, yet it has the capacity of a full-size pistol. Other features of the lightweight polymer-framed, striker-fired SAR9 Compact include a hammer-forged barrel with recessed crown for increased accuracy, interchangeable backstrap and side plates, and a black-oxide slide. It comes standard with a 15-round magazine, but there is a 10-round option for sale in capacity-restricted states. Like all other SAR pistols, the SAR9 Compact has a live-round indicator.

With a choice of three insertable back straps to customize fit, a low barrel-axis-t-grip ratio (to lessen muzzle climb), and a 20-degree grip angle that provides superior control and fast second-shot recovery, the SAR9 Compact is a top choice for personal protection.
