Im looking at the sar usa b6c anyone provide me info on it reliability comfortably security safety of gun any issues that i should know so not to buy it.
 
I don't have a B6C, but I have a Sar K2 45, a K2 P, a CM 9G2, and just got a 2000 in SS a week ago. All have worked great and I see no reason to fear any Sar or Tri Star (Canik CZ clone) gun.

My only issue with the polymer cz clones is the bulge in the frame where the slide rail lugs are located are uncomfortable on my thumb when operating the safety. The squared off bulge just rear of the safety lever. The metal frame models dont have that. Your mileage may vary. They have a great reputation otherwise.
 
Sarsilmaz (Sar) is one of the worlds most advanced gun manufactors. The facility in Turkey is one of the largest, if not the largest in the world today. They have been in business since the late 1800's. I don't believe in Turkeys politics, but Sar makes some damn good firearms.
 
Mine was inexpensive and works very well.

If I were going to carry one of my compact 9mm pistols, it would be my choice.

IMHO, it's worth it to pay an extra $20 or so for the stainless finish on pistols like this.

 
I bought a Sar pistol last summer and had a problem right away with it. I contacted SARUSA and they couldn't help me. They had no spare parts. They promised to send me one when they got some in but I have never heard from them.It's been a crazy year for all gun manufacturers, hopefully they've gotten the supply chain in better shape but, I haven't looked at a Sar since. I had owned other Sar guns before and they can be very good shooters. I just want the assurance that if I need service, I don't have to wait for Turkey to ship out more.

The block forward of the slide stop bugs me and the blockish cut by the beavertail. The Tanfoglio Witness Polymer has a much more smoothed out frame where the safety is - compared to the SAR B6P. If I try to get a high grip on the gun the squarish polymer block in the back irritates the inside of my thumb of my shooting hand and the block of extra polymer just forward of the slide stop makes it hard to really snug the thumb of my non-shooting hand up against the frame for a thumbs-forward position. But both the SAR and the Tanfolglio have that trapezoid protrusion forward of the slide stop lever.

I purchased a SAR B6P for a total of $241.43 from Sportsman Guide in 2015.

Here is my review of it:

Mine sits in my car all of the time. Five summers of sitting in a hot car on a hot parking lot and five winters sitting in the cold and I've never had a spot of rust anywhere on it. When I take it to the the range, it runs like a champ. I've never had a malfunction with it.
 
I picked up one of their full-size models (B6P) about 2 years ago. Over that time is has gotten pretty consistent use, though lately ammo availability has slowed thing down considerably. It has also caused me to have to resort to steel-cased ammo (Winchester Steel Forge, or something like that). Interestingly, the little monster has digested everything I have fed it with nary a hiccup! She is proving to be a genuinely reliable (& accurate) shooter. She's a keeper!
