SAR USA SAR9 SC Gen2 9mm Sub-Compact 15+1 OD Green Cerakote

The SAR USA SAR9 SC Gen2 delivers full-size performance in a sub-compact package designed for concealed carry and duty use. This 9mm pistol combines Turkish engineering with American finishing to create a reliable platform that maintains shootability while reducing overall dimensions. The OD Green Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Parkerizing or bluing.

What Makes This Different

The Gen2 improvements include an enhanced trigger system with reduced travel and cleaner break compared to the original SAR9 SC. The ported slide design reduces muzzle flip by 15-20% during rapid fire sequences, while the serrated top strap eliminates glare under bright lighting conditions. Unlike many sub-compact pistols that sacrifice capacity, this model maintains a 15+1 round capacity through its optimized grip design.

Key Features

• 15+1 round capacity with flush-fit magazine maintains concealability
• 3.30-inch black steel barrel with 1:10 twist rate for 9mm projectiles
• OD Green Cerakote finish rated for 2,000+ hours salt spray resistance
• Ported slide reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise during follow-up shots
• Picatinny rail accommodates lights and laser accessories
• Ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine release
• Striker-fired action with trigger safety and firing pin block

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-3 inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The pistol functions reliably with both 115-grain ball and 147-grain hollow point loads, cycling through 500+ round evaluations without malfunctions. The textured polymer grip provides secure handling in wet conditions, while the low bore axis reduces muzzle flip compared to traditional designs. Law enforcement agencies have adopted the SAR9 platform for backup duty applications.
