The Sarsilmaz B6C Compact is a Turkish made single action/double action semi automatic pistol designed to provide you with reliable service for many years to come. Based on the iconic CZ75 design the SAR B6C features a polymer frame and high quality steel slide. The polymer frame is quite easy to grip and provides you with what is considered a high bore axis grip. Additional features include a set of fixed style sights, a manual thumb safety and external hammer. The SAR B6C will quickly become your favorite polymer framed firearm.

The SAR CM9 Gen2 is the next level upgrade to the CZ-style clone we know as the SAR K2P(CM9 Gen1). These pistols are pretty similar to other polymer framed CZ-style duty pistols like the P-07, except the grip is longer to accept a larger magazine capacity. Like other pistols made by Sarsilmaz, this pistol is typically found for about $350. This may cause many people to think less of the pistol just because of the price or the origin of production. I personally have found that price is not an accurate gauge for quality. As far as the origin of the pistol, I have found that firearms made in Turkey are some of the finest you can find, especially for the price.
The SAR CM9 Gen2 is pretty much a beautiful example of what many people look for in a duty pistol. They want a good compact slide length and a full-size grip for the maximum capacity. The general idea behind the compact slide length is that it will be easier to unholster and get into the fight. I guess the trade-off in velocity and sight radius is acceptable for those who would rather be quicker on the draw. The barrel length of the CM9 Gen2 is 3.8″, which is not too short. The sight radius may affect the accuracy of some shooters, but at distances where the speed of the draw makes a real difference, I don’t think it will matter too much. The height of the CM9 Gen2 is roughly 5.6″ and it holds 17 rounds, with the added bonus of being able to take pretty much all full-size CZ75 magazines. The pistol is a bit of a fat pistol with the frame, not including the controls, coming in at just under 1.2″ wide. The slide is a bit contoured and gets slimmer as you get to the top of the slide, so that helps break up the fat profile a bit. This pistol is not too big, but it does have a noticeably chunky look to it.
