<h2>Striker Fired</h2>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Striker fired pistols are probably the most popular semi automatic type handgun for self defense in the USA.  Just about every company has jumped on the band wagon making one.  Every time they add the next hot feature the price jumps up a few more notches.  </span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>What if someone offered all of those features at a price equal to or slightly under the basic offerings from other manufacturers?Sarsilmaz, from Turkey, did just that!</span>
<h2>Price Point</h2>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The SAR9sc is a sub compact pistol rich with features.  Right out of the box it is punching above its weight.  The SAR9sc has an MSRP of $529.99 but with a quick web search I found them for well under $500.  </span>
<h2>Optics</h2>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>As stated the pistol is packed with features.  As with all of today’s handguns, optics are in and the SAR9sc comes optics ready with factory support for multiple optics plates.</span>
<h2>Night Sights</h2>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Maybe you are not a fan of pistol mounted optics or you would rather not make that investment right away.  Sarsilmaz didn’t leave you out!  The pistol comes with tritium night sights.  Both front and rear.  The front also has a nice yellow circle around the tritium to help with daylight shooting.  These are very functional sights that will get you up and running as soon as you open the box.</span>
<h2>Getting a Grip</h2>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>They also include two magazines.  One is flush fitting for increased conceal-ability and the other is extended for comfort on the range.  </span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>On some small pistols with optics there is little to no area to get a solid purchase to rack the slide.  With this handgun they added plenty of texture to the front of the slide.  Gripping the slide shouldn’t be an issue.</span>
<h2>Trigger</h2>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>With all this said, there has to be a negative right?  There is no free lunch in the game of life.  The SAR9sc is a striker fired pistol, and when you look at the internal pictures you will notice a resemblance to another famous gun maker.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The trigger on the SAR9sc has that standard long trigger pull of a striker fired handgun.  With the trigger pull gauge I was able to weigh the trigger pull at just under 5 pounds.  Which for a striker fired defensive gun is about normal.</span>
<h2>The Fix</h2>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The negative side of the trigger pull is that it’s quite gritty with no distinct wall before the trigger breaks.  Although I have not taken this pistol completely apart, I am willing to bet that techniques used by me in my shop to clean up Glock triggers would work wonders.  </span>

&nbsp;

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The SAR9sc is packed with features that make it a great offering in the sub compact market.  With features like optics ready, tritium sights, accessory rails, and so on there are a lot of features for your hard earned dollars.</span>
