[@OBNXS1]

Was it the Sar9x or just the Sar9? Sar9x should have come with all of this stuff but the Sar9 does not.

I know they released additional colors of the Sar9x but I don’t know what was included in the box.

Brett Mahoney I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with it. It’s been a fantastic pistol for me.

[@chitonyc1979]

I got rid of my Sar9x yesterday and got the Glock 19 Gen 5. The Sar9x kept jamming on me shooting 115 grain. It handled well with 124

[@OBNXS1]

I’ve shot nothing but 115 through mine. Sorry to hear you had issues.

[@mic187x2]

It's been said that Turkish guns have heavier recoil springs and should be broken in with 124 and above grain ammo. Now I broke in my Tristar t-120 and Canik TP9SF(the best Canik but forgotten gun in my opinion) with a mix of 9mm. 115 to 147 grain. FMJ,TMJ and hollowpoints. Plus p only for the TP9SF. .

[@ihatefords1000]

The sar9 and the Canik are made for the 9x19 nato rounds, they have very stiff recoil springs, you need to run good quality 124 grain ammo to break it in

Awesome, thanks for watching. Let me know what you think if you do buy it. I'm not going to be running anymore through this until I can get with Galloway Precision and get the upgrades for it, ammo shortage and all, but I do have 500 rounds and a box of 124 V Crown through it now.

[@luiferreira4253]

Do you think it can be a concern if dirt or debris gets in the cuts around the barrel potentially jamming the gun?

[@OBNXS1]

Could it under the absolute worst case scenario? Yes. Is it anything I’d be concerned about? No. Is it anymore likely that dirt and debris will cause this particular gun to malfunction simply because of the cuts in the slide? Probably no.

Great to hear!

[@TheDeathless]

I LOVE the way you set up this review. Probably the most professional review i have ever seen with how detailed you got without any unnecessary information. I also looked through the comments and noticed you are incredibly interactive with the people that ask questions so you have a sub from me. If you have time i do have a few questions for you. I had the regular sar9 put in my hand by a local dealer yesterday and i have to say it's the most comfortable pistol i have ever held. Is there any other pistols you would recommend for me to check out before purchasing this? Most pistols are incredibly uncomfortable in my hands and create awkward pressure points. Price isn't a huge factor though I'm not exactly rich.

[@OBNXS1]

Thank you for the kind words. I agree, the Sar9 and the Sar9x are great feeling in the hand. I’ve heard that they’re very similar to the VP9 but I’ve never held one of those. You could also look at the Canik line of pistols. They are fantastic for the price and definitely another one of my favorites.

[@TheDeathless]

@@OBNXS1 i actually went to a different store today and got one of the canik pistols in my hand today and turns out the undercut is what makes the biggest difference for me. Never had a pistol with such agressive under cuts before these two and honestly i think it changes my entire view on pistols and i haven't even fired them yet.

[@OBNXS1]

Yea, the undercuts can make a huge difference. A lot of people do them on pistols when they get a custom stipple job done. Sometimes you get a gun in your hand and you wonder if anyone actually held it after they designed it. My King Cobra is like that. Great looking gun but I bang my knuckles on the trigger guard.

[@JayMulah73]

Great content! Please update us once companies start making custom holsters esp for light bearing & RMR (ordered the Manual Swampfox Sentinel thanks to your insight). I've been turned down by Top 25 holster companies in America this week & its my 1st 🔫 so I don't have a holster collection yet to know other models that are compatible in specs. I know it's a gamble but out of the holsters you mentioned which brand/model would u spec out/order for use w/ Sar 9? Finally out of desperation, & after days of it falling down my leg during CCW practice (newby 😂) I managed to use the OEM holster & old cell phone holster clips (outer box) to make a pretty decent IWB for now so I'm stoked since I had deemed the OEM utterly useless & was ready to splurge on custom set up which is no longer quite as urgent. Let me know if your audience is interested in "how to" it's super easy. I could email u pics/steps to post or something. Loving the journey so far & the OEM light but to have any 🔫 w/o a beam just isn't my style so I will be test fitting the Olight Baldr Mini vs Pro tomorrow. After that decision I will just need some self defense ammo & eventually a premium holster to complete my initiation. 👍

[@williamwarman3576]

Just bought it and love it but the trigger is not the hi point of the sar9 do u know of any aftermarket parts to make it any better

Galloway Precision has some spring kits and Freedomsmith occasionally has triggers available for it. You can also do the 25 cent Glock trigger job on it while you have it apart.

[@MrTeddydolla]

I have this same one but when I try to take it apart the slide goes forward but doesn’t come off am I doing some wrong?

[@OBNXS1]

You may have reset the trigger. Make sure it’s unloaded then pull the slide back about 1/2 inch, pull down take down, release slide and try it. If you watch the very end of the video, you can see how little you have to move the slide for takedown. But if it resets the trigger, you will need to pull the trigger to release the slide.

[@ccheeks74]

Is there a aftermarket guide rod for lighter grain rounds.

[@OBNXS1]

Nothing that I can tell you definitely fits. What grain are you planning to shoot? Mine was fine with 115 gr.

[@ccheeks74]

@@OBNXS1 whatever i can come across ammo is very scarce in Hammond indiana. But i was wondering what ammo gave the best experience for this weapon so i can buy that brand and devote a few hundred rounds for carry and rage. And thanks for your prompted response.

[@ccheeks74]

Ofcorse any ammo is better than no ammo . so i will break her in with a assortment of ammo then devote some sig v crown plus p rounds to it.

[@OBNXS1]

115 gr is probably the lightest/most common you’ll find and should run fine. There’s always a chance a gun just won’t like a certain type of ammo so it’s going to depend on what you can find right now.

[@DeRock401]

I got the original one and I love it. But the trigger is ehh... And racking the slide is just way too tough compared to my canik or my glocks.

I usually use whatever is cheapest for practice as long as it’s got a brass case. I don’t care for aluminum or steel case ammo, but plenty of people run it. I carry Sig Sauer V Crown 124 grain for self defense but everyone has their preference.
