The SAR Arms SAR9 Sport Gen 3 9mm pistol in Platinum (brand part no. SAR9SPTG3PT) is the long-slide competition version of the SAR9 line, built around a 5.3-inch forged steel barrel and a 7.3-inch sight radius. SAR Arms mills the slide for RMSc-footprint micro red dots and fits tritium night sights front and rear, so the pistol is ready for an optic or for iron-sight shooting in any light. A flat-face trigger and modular backstraps and side panels let you tune the grip to your hand. It is aimed at match shooters and range users who want a full-size 9mm in Platinum with extra sight radius and a manual thumb safety.
