“The SAR 9X Platinum’s DNA comes directly from the SAR 9 pistol which is one of the latest offerings from SAR USA,” said Todd Pearson, COO of SAR USA. “The SAR 9 was originally designed and engineered to compete on the world stage as a military sidearm, and to fill a military contract. Now we are offering the SAR 9 in the X Platinum package which includes Cerakote finished slide, paddle holster, double mag pouch, magazine loader and accessory flashlight. All are packaged in a handsome carrying case.”
The SAR 9X Platinum striker-fired pistol features a lightweight polymer frame with accessory rail, serrated slide with Cerakoteâ platinum finish and a 4.5″ hammer-forged barrel with recessed crown for increased accuracy, according to a company news release. With a 3-dot sight optic-ready mount plus choice of three interchangeable back straps to personalize the fit, the 9X Platinum points naturally and is a pleasure to shoot, the company said.
The pistol’s low barrel axis-to-grip ratio lessens muzzle climb, and the 20-degree grip angle provides superior control and fast second shot recovery. The pistol also features an ambidextrous safety trigger that is smoother than a double-action revolver and the SAR 9X becomes a superb carry-pistol when you want a round in the chamber.
The SAR 9X Platinum incorporates a safety trigger that features a tab safety in the center to prevent inertial discharges should the gun be dropped onto the rear of its slide. There is also a bright-red insert at the top that is visible from the side when the trigger is in the forward position. Labeled a “striker status indicator,” this enables the shooter to see, at a glance, whether the gun is cocked or not, even from a distance as long as the side of the trigger is visible. The SAR 9X Platinum comes standard with one 17-round. and one 19-round magazine. For capacity restricted states the pistol is supplied with two 10-round magazines.
