The SAR USA SAR9 Sub-Compact delivers full-size performance in a concealed carry package, combining Turkish precision manufacturing with proven striker-fired reliability. This compact 9mm pistol maintains the ergonomics and accuracy of its full-size counterpart while reducing overall dimensions for enhanced concealability.
What Makes This Different
The SAR9 Sub-Compact features a low bore axis design that reduces muzzle flip and improves follow-up shot accuracy compared to traditional compact pistols. The polymer frame incorporates aggressive texturing on the grip panels and front/rear straps for secure handling in adverse conditions. Unlike many sub-compact pistols that sacrifice capacity, this model ships with a 15-round magazine that extends slightly below the grip for improved control.
Key Features
- 15-round magazine capacity with flush-fit 13-round option available
- Striker-fired action with consistent 5.5-6 lb trigger pull
- Low profile 3-dot sights with dovetailed rear sight

Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling with various 9mm ammunition weights from 115 to 147 grains. The 3.8-inch barrel provides sufficient velocity for defensive ammunition expansion while maintaining compact dimensions suitable for appendix or strong-side carry. Weather-resistant coating protects against moisture and daily carry wear.
