The SAR9 Compact Gen 3 U-80 9mm pistol (brand part no. SAR9CG3U80) is a carry-size striker-fired pistol from SAR Arms. A forged steel slide cut for RMSc-footprint micro red dots rides a 4.1-inch forged steel barrel on a compact polymer frame. Factory tritium night sights front and rear keep the sights visible in low light. Two 15-round magazines come with it, and the modular grip lets you fit the backstrap and side panels to your hand. Among semi-auto handguns, it is a good match for shooters who want one pistol for daily carry and range sessions.
