SAR USA is the exclusive American importer for 140-year-old Turkish gunmaker Sarsilmaz. Although they are not a major household name in the US, their parent company produces a significant number of firearms for many countries all over the world. Their catalogue includes a dozen handgun models chambered in 9mm and .45 ACP, and as you might expect from Turkey, a line of shotguns. Their shotguns come in both semi-auto and break-open flavors. Sarsilmaz is also the sole pistol supplier to the Turkish Armed Forces.
The SAR9 is the company’s main effort to break in to the US concealed carry space.
The Opelika, Alabama-based US subsidiary champions the SAR9 as their “first designed specifically for the American concealed-carry market”. It is a polymer-frame, striker-fired 9mm. Glock, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson, and many more manufacturers employ this formula for a host of some of their best-selling models, so it makes sense for other companies like Sarsilmaz to follow suit. By now we are all well aware of the massive uptick in firearms sales that 2020 has seen so far, and SAR USA/Sarsilmaz have felt this just like everyone else. In response, they have announced efforts to boost their production levels in an attempt to keep up with the market’s current tremendous demand. They have issued the following press release detailing this initiative.
The B6 is the foundation of the company’s US-focused polymer pistol line.
