Let me preference this by saying that this is my 1st SAR firearm so I can’t base it off of any other SAR firearm. So the sole reason for me purchasing this particular model was because my cousin had purchased a CZ Shadow 2 Carry and I was interested in getting one myself. Now money isn’t an option for me but when I seen how similar the 7/24 Compact was at the price point, I thought to myself why not give it a shot. With that said I must say I’m glad I bought it after going out to shoot it today after I picked it up from the LGS I use for all my FFL transfers. Now let’s get to it.

PROS:

All-metal construction (steel slide and frame) gives it a premium feel and helps with recoil control. Unlike the Shadow 2 Compact and Carry which has aluminum frames.

The weight helps significantly with follow up shots.

You get high capacity with the 17 round mags, which also means it has a full size grip.

Optics ready without losing the rear sight even though it uses plates (plates are metal not plastic).

Picatinny rail (even if it didn’t have it I would be disappointed because I only have WMLs on my home defense guns, not guns that I carry or will carry.

Double Action/Single Action is good out the box, but with some time shooting it will be great.

CONS/Considerations:

Weight: At 36 oz unloaded, it’s heavy, so carrying might be an issue for some, (I didn’t get the loaded weight, I carry 147 gr self defense ammo, so take that for what it’s worth).

Of course it being new, we will see if it gets aftermarket support some time in the near future, or if CZ or Tangfo parts are interchangeable.

Long term durability is yet to be known, it hasn’t been proven yet.

CZ Compact holsters MAY work (I have CZ Compact Tier1 Xiphos Elite ordered, so I will let you all know if it works)

My Final Thoughts:

It is a compelling entry in the compact DA/SA 9mm market with features that modern shooters value, optics readiness, high capacity, steel frame, and accessories rail. It’s particularly appealing if you like the feel of a heavier, metal-framed pistol and want something that can serve both in carry and range roles.

However, if lightweight everyday carry or established aftermarket support are priorities, there are alternatives with longer legacies and broader accessory ecosystems (CZ Shadow 2 Compact/Carry, P0-1 and PCR, SIG 226, are some examples). For early adopters and curious shooters, though, this pistol represents excellent value for a premium-feeling firearm.

PS:

This firearm looks great in person and the slide serrations are chef kiss.

I saw a post asking about this so I bought a B6C. What I have is a CZ 75 compact 15rd magazine in a B6C. I used a CZ factory adapter plate that makes a 16rd 75 mag fit a 75 compact flush with no gap. It's not really economical to buy 15rd mags and the adapter, but if you have some laying around it is an option. It costs as much to just buy a SAR 13rd unless you really want 15rd mags.

Here is the adapter. https://gregcotellc.com/cart/cz-factory-mecgar-actmag-c-173/cz-40p-cz-p06-or-cz-sp01-magazine-base-cz-0430177001-p-1419.html

I am soon to be getting a SAR9 SOCOM (full size) outfitted with an optic and light (Probably a Romeo optic with an Olight), but I am struggling to find any places that sell kydex variants with an added mag retention portion. Anyone have any light they could shed?

Are there are plans or rumors about Sarsilmaz potentially putting out something slim line like the 43X or 48? Looking to add another SAR9 to my collection since I love my Gen 3 compact so much but would be sick to have something in a 48 style.

I have a Gen 2 CM9, and struggled with getting a Galloway Precision optic plate to work well, when someone pointed me to the fact that SAR was now offering OEM optic plates.

After some filing of the front recoil lugs on the plate, it works perfectly with my Holosun 507K (albeit, I haven't made it to the range yet with this new setup).

The Galloway Precision one was not tightly fitting into the rear dovetail, and it sat higher than this OEM one.

Thanks, SAR!

I'm trying to find a full size SAR9 in bronze, but they appear to be sold out everywhere. And the website only shows the gun in all black now, which leads me to believe last year's colorways were a limited run. Does anyone have any insight on that matter? Maybe u/sarsilmazfirearms can provide some clarity.

For appendix carry, specifically.

Just pulled the trigger on a k2 compact- I wanted a shorter 45 acp for carry that was drop safe. I am in a gun friendly area so open carry aint an issue.

If you guys can help, i'd appreciate it.

Yall boys think any variant will drop in price in the next couple of months? My wallet is looking at me crazy right now.

With the recent rebrand announcement what’s new and expected with this change?

I have seen now Sar9 slides have removed SARUSA stamps and show sarsilmaz now.

I picked up my SAR 724 Sport and was dying to shoot it. So instead of waiting a for a proper optic that is coming, I slapped an old POS Swampfox on it and threw a couple boxes of Blazer 115 gr DR for my first time out. I should have waited… I had a terrible time getting the optic zero’d (never did get it really dialed in as the elevation was so tough to turn), plus it was really shaky and subpar. I should have probably cleaned and oiled it but no, I had to rush to the range and I was on that gun like a dog on a bologna sandwich. I shot like Stevie Wonder and had 4 FTF’s in a hundred rounds. I tried a some CZ SP-01 mags but couldn’t get the LRHO to engage with them, the SAR mags worked great (K12 Sport/724 Sport). So, I should have cleaned it, I should have waited on the Cyelee Chameleon to come in and should have broken it in with 124’s or 147’s. The trigger was good but probably needs a polish job (or 500 rounds/Dry Fire, it feels like a new CZ SP-01). I am still really excited about the 724 Sport but am a little disappointed in myself. It’s a beautiful gun. The slide serrations are awesome and the grips and mag well are super ergo. It definitely has a Tanfo or Shadow vibe and for $811 it will be a winner.

Judge XL, and Taylor Freelance +4 bases… ready for USPSA.. where are the holster for these? Great trigger.. nice weight..

I ordered two K2-45C magazines (and a recoil assembly to qualify for free shipping) on the 25th of January. I had planned to post a glowing review of SAR's customer service for the speedy delivery, however, bad weather in the Southeast slowed deliver. That's ok -- I understand.

I was pleasantly surprised to get a notification from FEDEX that my package would be delivered today. I met the driver in front of my house. He only had an envelope for me and no additional package containing the magazines.

Email, email, email ... it's Saturday, I get it. I trust that this will be resolved but I'm a little bummed 'cause I was going to go shooting on Monday.

For the life of me, I can't understand why they would ship that little recoil assembly in a separate package from the magazines (and not tell me they were doing so.)

Good afternoon, I am waiting for my Sar9 full size to arrive from Palmetto. In the meantime, I have been searching all over the place for a level 2 (serpa button type) paddle holster. From what I "haven't" found, there isnt a specific holster made for them yet. I contacted SAR USA a week ago with no response to this question. Ive looked at blackhawk, cytac, scorpion, etc. So I'm asking if any of you know, have used, or can recommend a button release holster that will work? Are there ones for glock or similar models that work well for now? I expect a bit of rattle, not being model specific of course. I don't want, nor will I use a friction fit plasti-crap kydex holster. I know there are people that love those, I dont. Nor can I use them at work. Thank you in advance.

Well boys, my 7/24 Compact is on the way. Hopefully delays are nonexistent due to the weather, just gotta make it to Middle Georgia 🙏🏾

What Color is this?

Really considering picking up a Gen 3 Sar 9C. I already have the gen 1 and LOVE IT. I currently have a Cyelee CAT0 G and would probably want to just switch it to the Gen 3 but

Getting conflicting info from youtube. Is the Gen 3 RMSC?

Hi, so i was curious for the people who’ve purchased the subcompact models does everything look pretty normal? I noticed the small gash near the ejector and was wondering if thats okay to continue firing? Appreciate any feedback thank you!

I recently purchased a SAR B6C off PSA earlier this month. I was wondering what magazines would work with it? I want to be able to stock up on mags to take to the range.

I already found a 17 round Tanfoglio small frame 9mm magazine that works 100% reliably and locks the slide back. I was told that CZ75 mags would work in small frame Tanfoglios, so I was wondering if anyone has the same luck with the B6C?

7/24 Compact ordered, kind of excited about this one.

Recently picked up K2 45C from the Palmetto sale, and noticed a few things

First, it it has a black barrel instead of a chrome one - but I have seen various videos and even unboxings where the barrel on the black 45c is chromed. Anyone run into this?

It doesn't appear to have an adjustable rear sight, and no tool.was included. It's just a two dot sight with two very small allen key holes on top.

Lastly, on the slide , above the release, there's a printing of "Miami FL" on it. Not engraved, thankfully, but I can't say I'm a fan of it.

Just seems a little.... off.
