SAR Firearms builds the SAR9 series in Turkey, and the platform has earned a following for delivering full-feature striker-fired pistols — interchangeable backstraps and grip panels, ambidextrous controls and an optics-ready slide — in a package that undercuts most of the field. The SAR9 Socom Compact pairs a 4.5-inch threaded barrel with a compact frame, which is an unusual and useful combination: short enough to carry, threaded for a suppressor or compensator when it comes off the belt. In 9mm with a black finish, it makes a capable duty, home defense or range pistol.
