Sarsimilaz SAR-9 Glock Clone with manual safety

[someguy2800]

I too see little value if buying copies of readily available guns. If price was an issue, I'd rather buy a used original over a Turkish copy.
I'll stick with my Glocks. The single side safety - makes the worthless to us left handers.

Think I'd rather buy a Ruger All American Compact for $359.99 over that Turkish gun.

Has all the same features.

Features are one thing but picking out a handgun based on features and reviews is like buying a pair of shoes off the internet. A web description cannot tell you how it feels in the hand, how smooth the trigger pull feels, how tactile and reachable the slide stop and mag release are, or what the sights are like looking through them. So first and foremost, if the gun is reliable, and enough of these things feel better to you as an individual, then it is better the original its based on, whatever the price may be and wherever its made.

In this day and age of everyone trying putting out a polymer handgun to compete with Glock, it is like picking out a pair of shoes. They all are pretty much the same. I'd recommend you stick with a name brand for when / if you need support via parts or service in the future.

I’m a snob on triggers. There is a huge gaping disparity between one polymer striker fired gun and another in that regard.

I was not super-impressed with the trigger on the SAR-9--at least not on the single example I handled at the convention. It wasn't bad enough to move the gun around when I dryfired, but it wasn't the kind of trigger that puts a smile on your face.

Hard to say if that was typical or not given a sample size of one.

Tip of the trigger and trigger dingus look razor sharp though.

I don't recall noticing any issues in this regard during the time I handled the gun.

Guys, tell me something about the external manual safety. If you don't like it, why not just not engage it? Why complain about it being there for those who would want to use it when you can just ignore it?

IMO, if a person relies on a gun with a manual safety for self-defense, it is imperative that the person practice disengaging the safety as part of the normal draw/presentation. This insures that if the safety is ever unintentionally engaged, it will be disengaged in the process of bringing it up to fire. Safeties do become engaged unintentionally. I've had it happen more than once.

Because there is a possibility of it being inadvertently engaged, and therefore you need to train with it. For a fun range gun, it is a non-factor. The thing is, there are a LOT of people that have a LOT of guns yet want to think ALL of them are some kind of combat weapon. I have just a couple of guns for SD and CCW, the rest are for my enjoyment.
