Picked up a SAR9 a while back and a few weeks ago was finally able to get it to the range. Out of 40 rounds fired I had 9 stovepipes as well as the spent casings that were ejected came straight back at me and not very forcefully.
I was running Armscor 119 grain FMJ at the time.
Tried it again a week later with Winchester white box 119 grain FMJ with almost similar results.
Contacted Sarsilmaz SAR USA and they claim the gun was designed to shoot 124 grain rounds. Okay, I bought a box of STE Golden Bee and will be trying it out next week when I can get back to the range.
I also checked online and some SAR9s do not like 119 grain but this can be remedied by either shortening the trigger spring or by leaving the slide in the locked back position for an undisclosed amount of time. Mine's been locked back now for a couple of days.
