SAR USA SAR9 SC Gen2 Compact 9mm Pistol 3.3" Barrel 12+1/15+1

The SAR USA SAR9 SC Gen2 delivers reliable compact performance with enhanced ergonomics and proven striker-fired reliability. This second-generation design addresses common concealed carry challenges while maintaining the full-size shooting experience that competitive shooters demand. Built on SAR USA's proven platform, the SC Gen2 combines Turkish manufacturing precision with American market requirements.

What Makes This Different

The Gen2 improvements include refined trigger mechanics, enhanced grip texturing, and optimized slide serrations for positive manipulation under stress. Unlike many compact pistols that sacrifice shootability for size, the SAR9 SC maintains a full grip length while reducing overall length and height. The interchangeable backstrap system allows customization for different hand sizes, addressing the fit issues common with fixed-grip compact designs.
