Design & Features

At the core is a 3.30″ black steel barrel engineered to modern tolerances. The serrated slide provides positive purchase for press checks and racking, while the polymer grip module is molded for repeatable hand placement. Integrated striker and trigger safeties provide passive drop protection without impairing a smooth trigger break.

Ergonomics and Controls

Interchangeable backstraps and side plates make the SAR9 SC Gen II adaptable for a wide range of hand sizes. The compact footprint combined with a 12+1/15+1 capacity gives a favorable balance for concealed carry or duty use where extra rounds matter.

Performance & Applications

Chambered in 9mm Luger, this pistol benefits from widely available ammunition and controllable recoil—ideal for everyday carry, range training, and professional use. The 3.30″ barrel preserves adequate ballistic performance while keeping the slide length compact for concealment and quick draws.

The SAR9 SC’s forged steel alloy construction in the barrel and slide contributes to durability under extended service life, and the inclusion of two magazines out of the box enhances immediate readiness. Priced at $455.99, it represents strong value for a compact pistol with special-forces-influenced engineering. View product details and pricing
