At SAR USA, “The best should be within everyone’s reach” is much more than a tagline upon which the company hangs it’s hat: It’s a philosophy and a promise that gets assembled into each an every gun that ships out their factory doors. When they say that quality firearms shouldn’t be a privilege reserved for the deepest pockets, they damn well mean it.
Based in Miami, SAR USA is the exclusive importer in the United States for Sarsilmaz firearms, ammunition, and accessories. They continuously collaborate with Sarsilmaz to curate and import products that are purpose-built to meet the needs and desires of American customers. What does that mean? Well, it means that a gun never gets to you unless it first meets their rigorous standards.
Sarsilmaz, the Turkish manufacturer with a legacy dating back to 1880—that’s more than 140 years of innovation—is home to Europe’s largest arms production facilities. The company and been trusted by law enforcement, military personnel, and special operations teams in more than 80 countries, and its products continue to set a global benchmark for reliability and excellence.
The SAR9 is the company’s flagship product line, designed specifically to offer performance and value in the U.S. market. The way these guns look, feel, and shoot illustrate SAR USA’s commitment to delivering firearms with the highest standards of reliability, performance, and innovation.
Designed to exceed NATO standards, the SAR9 has proven its reliability and performance through rigorous testing under extreme conditions, including Arctic cold and extreme heat; salt exposure, fouling, and drop tests; and more than 150,000 rounds of live fire testing. After a five-year trial, the SAR9 was selected by NATO over well-known brands from Austria, Germany, Belgium, and the United States.
Through a series of diverse models, the SAR9 family is designed to offer solutions for concealed carry, home defense, competition, and tactical needs. All models are optic-ready and designed to provide customers with ideal ergonomics and reduced recoil.
The Compact, Fullsize, Sport, and SOCOM models also feature interchangeable backstraps for a customized grip — and the company’s magazines are interchangeable across the entire family as well.
And the people behind the innovation at SAR USA are so confident that you’ll be impressed by the performance and value of the guns they design and build that all their guns come with a limited lifetime warranty.
