Also known as: SAR9 X, SAR 9X
Overview
The Sarsilmaz SAR9X is a full-size, striker-fired semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, developed entirely with local design and resources by the Turkish manufacturer Sarsilmaz as an enhanced member of the SAR9 family. It is distinguished by a slide with machined cooling channels that improve heat dissipation during rapid strings of fire, a flat-faced trigger, and a fully modular grip system with three interchangeable backstraps and side plates sized to fit a wide range of hand dimensions. The short-recoil, locked-breech action feeds from a 17-round detachable box magazine, and the frame carries a Picatinny accessory rail, ambidextrous slide stop, and reversible magazine release. Named the best pistol of 2020 by industry experts in the United States market, the SAR9X targets competition, duty, and defensive shooters seeking an ergonomic, high-capacity striker-fired handgun.
