The SAR B6c is an accurate and reliable semiautomatic with outstanding ergonomics. Made in the USA by the fine employees of Opelika/Auburn, Alabama. If the SAR B6c is good enough for the Turkish Police...its good enough for me!
Got my gun Tuesday (week delay) after getting two additional clips mentioned below and holsters from Outbags a nylon range with clip and leather iwb. Both were listed specifically for Sar B6p on their website. 100 rounds no issues. Low recoil, comfortable to shoot and gun had tight groups, better than my old eyesight and twenty years of not shooting. Your enthusiasm helped me decide (with the other videos on UA-cam). Great gun and thanks!
I had a SAR K2P, it was one of the best pistols I've owned so far and not just for the money. I'd take it to the range with a Walther PPQ I had at the time and shoot them side by side. As great as the PPQ is, I was able to shoot just as well with the K2P. Only difference was the quick trigger reset of the Walther, but I tended to shoot slightly tighter groups with the K2P. I'd definitely pick up a SAR again if given the chance.
im amazed how some foreign countrys can produce an accurate pistol, that can compete with the major gun makers here. that are well built and accurate with a lower price.
I have the sar9 and I fell in love with sarsilmaz after that now I'm looking for something a little smaller to carry since I got my cwp and I want a sar compact
I also love the look of the stainless steel barrel with the rest of the gun black. Same goes for the CZ 75, with the addition of the stainless steel trigger. It just looks like the perfect mix of stainless steel and black on the gun.
to answer the magazine questions ... all CZ 75B magazines work flawlessly in the Sar B6P and B6P compact ...mecgar can be had for 20-25 bucks each depends on where you buy them ( online ) ... I own both b6p models and love them 3k+ rounds of perfection to this point and they just get better every time out ( smoother ) not 1 issue to date
Hey 2im, Thanks for a great review! I believe that you have given us straight up info that is well researched and well reasoned. I like the honesty and integrity that this review has as base elements. Thank you again! BDW
@@CitizenCarry I'm from south Carolina and the name of the store that I bought it from is Shooters choice. They had a lot of them but sold out quickly. I had to get that color to match my OD green kel-tec ks7 shotgun lol.
Kerry Williams another good choice is the FAB-92. EAA imports that pistol as well is very similar to the SAR full size in nearly all respects. Tanfoglio designed both and the only differences other than size is the FAB has a slide mounted safety/decocker and the SAR does not. Outside of that, virtually identical and similarly priced. The Witness Pavona is also virtually identical to the B6P
I never thought of it as one of my favorites and i still don't. But I've held on to this longer than any of my other 9mm. It really is exceptional for 300.00 bucks.
It's a neat firearm. Right now, I owe a Witness 9, SarArm Sar K2P, Sar Arm Sar B6P. They are very accurate. They cost a lot of money. They were purchased for how well they fit my hand. I know I didn't go wrong. out of all them, I like the Witness the best. I carry it and the other two are back ups. I would like a few more out of there family. I'm sold on them, enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
9:48 That's exactly right. I've got several Glock 19s, and I bought a B6PL (pink polymer frame compact version of this) for my GF, and when I took her to the range to teach her how to shoot I was surprised at how well it shot. In fact, I went and got one myself, in black, not pink naturally. I must bring up few other minor girevances though. It only comes with one magazine, and that sucks because buying another is gonna put you out $20+shipping. Why plus shipping? Because I've never been to a gun store that sells the mags for this, even the one that sold me the gun itself, which is going to send you online. Also, sometimes the brass ejections fly back and hit you in the shoulders. TLDNR version, good quality gun for an awesome price.
Thank you for your review. I agree with your assessment on accuracy. I noticed one other feature that helps with accuracy. It has interlocking lugs between the barrel and slide that engage when in battery, much like the 1911 you mentioned in your accuracy comparison. Price vs quality is great!
Just learned the "B" stands for Bernadelli that makes Tangfolio in Italy and sold SAR the equipment to manufacture this in 2006. Another user has full size B6P and showed parts are interchangeable. Mentioned a 22 conversion kit for $150. Thanks 2improper. Bought mine last year because of your review and subscribed ever since. In Louisiana now, but once was in Montague and Muskegon. 75 degrees here, so don't miss Michigan winters.
Love mine...all my friends say "Why did you buy a cheap gun" because I love the way it shoots and looks and have found next to NO negative reviews on it....
Really surprised by the SA trigger pull on the B6P. Compared it side by side with a Sig Pro 2009 and it just out shot the Sig. Totally surprised at the attention to detail on this little pistol where it matters. Just a note for many who don't Know Sarsilmaz (SAR) made pistols for EAA. If you get a chance, check out the K2P-45. Really a winner! I have held and shot a K2P and for some reason the SA trigger was not the same. It had a middle break before actual break and hammer fall. Also not as light or smooth. Not sure if it was just that particular gun or something that is common in that model.
This is a amazing gun, I have had it since December 2013. Bought off cheaperthandirt $236 and now I see it for over $400. I shoot the cheap tulammo and have not had one issue. I mainly target shoot, but I carry this or my 1911 American classic 2. No reason to pay$600-1200.00 for a gun- my opinion
I've owned the full size for a little over a year and love it. Agreed to buy a used compact model that I found today so I'll pick it up next week. I have friends with real CZ's and the B6P is very comparable for a much lower cost. Can't wait to get my compact!
Two things about the Half-Cock: 1. Field Stripping. When placed in half-cock, the slide will move back until it hits the hammer, perfectly aligning the indexing marks for take-down. Place whichever thumb you want to into the trigger guard, and squeeze the end if the barrel with the index finger. 2) Loaded carry. The CZ (this pistol too) was meant to be carried (besides Cocked N Locked) in HALF-COCKED dual action mode. This greatly reduced trigger reach, AND reduces effort of the dual action pull.
Another great firearm from sore is that St 10 I wish someone would do an actual real review on this is my favorite firearms that I own I like it better than my Beretta my h&k and my glock
Thanks for your insightful review. I agree with your observation about half-cock and don't have a problem with the absence of a decocker. I carried a DA/SA pistol for 15 years without a decocker. Just lower the hammer and set at half-cock. Your review lead to my purchase yesterday.
So just to keep the records straight that is essentially a tanfoglio fab 92 which was produce by the exact same machinery in turkey. The tooling was sold by tanfoglio to sarsilmaz In fact the current tanfoglio witness budget gun (999244) is still produced by sarsilmaz in turkey as part of the transaction agreement. Very good design by tanfoglio, based entirely on the cz75. They helped iwi (baby eagle) start their production, lookup the “tanfoglio mossad”, the Jericho predecessor
Which do you like the best between the EAA Witness P Compact and this gun. They look similar but I like the look of the Witness better. I took my witness to the range today and what an awesome gun it is. Accuracy is great! Great video. You just got yourself a new sub!
Thank you!! Truthfully I still lean toward the Sar. I mean both are great- but the Sar seems a slight cut above with quality and function. But it doesn't diss the EA: but a little more seemed to go into the Sar.
I have the full size EAA (actually made by Tanfoglio) and they are REALLY close, but the machine work on the SAR is a little better, and the trigger is a little better on the SAR. It's a very slight difference, they both kick major ass for what they cost. They could easily be 450+ guns if they had a popular name stamped on them.
Mostly the same, I think. I mean they're different frames and barrels, but they're highly similar. The K2p is supposed to be a dream to shoot. I still want one.
Read the manual yes you are incorrect and so was trigger happy. It specifically says " your pistol has a resting postion or notch on the hammer. This notch is not to be used as a half cock postion. This notch sole purpose is an additional notch on the hammer so as to allow the sear a chance to engage the hammer if the trigger is not pulled fully to the sear. In order to lower the hammer , first move the safety to tbe "off" or "fire" position. Grasp the hammer very firmly and put a finger between the hammer and firing pin. Then pull the trigger slowly and let the hammer move forward past the reasting position or " half cock position". Release then gently let the hammer down against the rear of the slide. Push the manual safety lever to the "on" or "safe" position". In layman terms you manually decock it and yes it is completley safe i have one and it again is cometley safe and that was quoted directly from this pistols saftey manual
Chris Hassell Thank you! That function appears in most (not all) of the da/sa guns I’ve had... so I’m guessing some of the others incorporated the same intent behind their design too. Good info!
You're welcome! Anytime sir. I would defenitly recomend practicing decocking the pistol unloaded first. Just to gain some confidence before actually trying to decock with a round chambered. It can be a little nerve wracking manually decocking a da/sa if you've never done it before. And if done incorrectly it can cause a discharge. But if you own this pistol you need to practice this and do it because it is designed to be holstered this way decocked in D/A mode and safety on. That. Safety part is up to your personal preference really. Not to worry though. If it functions anything close to mine, it should be extremely easy to master quickly. I feel really comfortable decocking this pistol manually. Very smooth action and the hammer isnt to heavy. Sorry for rambling 😆 I already assume you know this. Im just saying this for the readers. Safety first right? I really respect that you invite your viewers to correct your facts if need be. It really speaks to your character. And thank for responding thats awesome. Anyway I look foward to your next video. Thank you for the good content.
The half cock mode is to keep the hammer off the firing pin. It also slightly reduces trigger pull to trigger return spring for about 1/4 travel. Not that noticeable. I prefer cocked & locked however some dufus decided to put the serial number on a metal bar right in the way of the rather sharp safety. there is always a dufus somewhere along the line
Anyone own both a CZ-75 and this pistol??? How does this compare the orig. CZ??? Second, The manual states that this pistol cannot fire +P ammo??? I thought European NATO ammo was just as hot???
+Stephen Maurer I have both. This SAR compact is my daily carry, and I also own a CZ 75B Omega with a CGW short reset kit in it. Of course they are very similar except for size... They both feel great in the hand, but much easier to conceal the SAR. Honestly, I would say I like the SAR trigger better. I was NOT impressed with the OMEGA trigger. The reset is insanely long. Even with the work I did putting the CGW kit in, the reset is still longer than the stock trigger on the SAR. The reset means a lot to me at the range, but won't mean jack in a self defense situation, and the actual trigger pull itself, double and single action, is better on the CZ with the CGW kit installed. Probably a little better on the CZ without the kit installed also. Keep in mind that's the Omega I am talking about. Reliability has been 100% with both. Recoil is of course less on the CZ, but the SAR is a soft shooter. There's a hollow area in the back of the grip that allows flexing, the shape and fit to your hand is amazing, and it's a joy to shoot at the range. To me, that's important in a carry gun. I have to enjoy shooting it, vs some of these DAO guns that suck to practice with. I have heard people argue that +P should be ok in the SAR, and I would bet it's safe to carry it if you must. But, I wouldn't practice regularly with it or anything. SAR makes high quality products and I would be very surprised if it wouldn't hold up to a mag or two full of +P in a self defense situation, but that's up to you. Sights are real nice on both. The SAR are a little smaller, but still pops out and easy to get a sight picture. They can catch a bit on clothes and holsters, though if you're using it for CCW. Hope that helps
+Stephen Maurer Oh, and the machine work and finish on the SAR is great. The slide has some type of anti corrosion coating. I have worn it and I'm a sweaty guy, and I haven't seen a single speck of rust in 3 years of daily carry. I put a base coat of Eezox on it years ago, then I apply some Ballistol once every couple months. The barrel on the SAR is gorgeous. The feed ramp is a mirror. The SAR quality of the machine work, finish, and internal parts is every bit as good as CZ, and I would rate the barrel even better than the CZ as far as visual machine work and polish. I have an EAA Witness poly full size, and it's very well made also, but the SAR quality amazes me every time I touch it, considering they are less than 300 bucks.
+Ian Rupert Thanks for the advise Ian!! I looked at a SAR B6P at a local gun store and have to agree with your observations. I really have not seen any neg reviews on this pistol.
CDNN has a crazy sale on these right now. Have any of you had any malfunctions with yours? Will they take CZ75 mags (sticking out of course) and aftermarket sights?
It kind of takes you off guard at first because you're expecting this thing to shoot like a $300 gun and exhibit flaws.... but it shoots as good as or better than most! I'm still blown away by it.
The Witness just feels right in the hand. it's better to control. it maybe a heavy gun but I can't tell it. It think the slide has a lot to go with the control of the weapon
+Chris Sabre EAA (European American Arms) is merely the company that imports firearms made by different European manufacturers. The Witness is made by Tanfogilo, an Italian company whereas the SAR is made by Sarsilmaz, a manufacturer in Turkey.
+Paul Gianni Thanks for breaking that down. I like the witnss mechanics/EAA but ive heard there reliability can be irregular depending on the whether it was one of the nicer models. Also I love the mechanics of the cz-75 and own an s -120 thats shoots and functions quite well.
Seeing how there's 6 years of experience on this thread, can someone post names of some holsters that fit this gun, both iwb and owb? It looks like now the gun is called b6c.
If I’m not mistaken there’s an actual CZ compact that this one could fit the holsters. A good thing to do is to go to the Sar USA site and ask their reps. They’ll tell you!
James H not easily. There is no rail. EAA does have the Witness P and the SAR K6 variants of this pistol that do have rails so you can add a laser, flashlight or whatever.
I have to agree with your observation about accuracy & the "Eewww!" factor. My B6P tears ragged holes with 124gr & is every bit as good as my CZ75. As for being Turkish? Don't forget that the HS2000 by HS Produkt sold poorly because it was Croatian...."Eeewwww!" But once Springfield put their name on it, called it the 'XD" & doubled the price it sold like hotcakes.....same gun, made in the same factory, but now people would buy them. If these SARs were rebadged as Rugers there'd be no "EEeewwww!" factor.
Absolutely anything made for the CZ75 compact will fit this like a glove. I've had two custom IWB kydex/leather holsters made for mine and just ordered the CZ75 compact each time. One is an alien gear (I think that's the name), they are extremely well made and very affordable. They come with extra hardware and everything. Strongly suggest it. Just order the one for the CZ75 compact and your SAR will fit perfect.
I was interested in this particular pistol until I saw how much muzzle flip there was in the video of you shooting it. Maybe you have weak hands or are using a very weak grip, but at around the 15:37 mark the muzzle flip looks extreme and uncontrollable. Thanks for the video however
I went out 2 month ago and bought one of these I would of like a heavy caliber but the 9MM is ok, I have even shot my yet , Money is tight when your on a fixed Income which that shouldn't stop me from going too the range and get close and personal. thanks for your remarks . The only thing that get me Mind cooking is everyone wants too fire it and I keep telling my so called friend go buy your own pistol , Your a big boy . So I will be taking a CCW Class and Hopefully I will never ever have too use is in a live threating Situation.
Good I'm glad. My wife says I'm rough around the edges and blunt 😆. Im glad I could help. And no problem. Subscribing was a no brainer. I love Turkish firarms and you have the best reviews of them as far as i can tell. Keep it ☝
sorry I forgot to mention at GRABAGUN.COM shipping is $5.99 on any gun or guns. magazines are $20.00 + but for the price of the gun,, I can afford to buy more magazines... by the way it is a 9mm
The SAR B6c is an accurate and reliable semiautomatic with outstanding ergonomics. Made in the USA by the fine employees of Opelika/Auburn, Alabama. If the SAR B6c is good enough for the Turkish Police...its good enough for me!
Got my gun Tuesday (week delay) after getting two additional clips mentioned below and holsters from Outbags a nylon range with clip and leather iwb. Both were listed specifically for Sar B6p on their website. 100 rounds no issues. Low recoil, comfortable to shoot and gun had tight groups, better than my old eyesight and twenty years of not shooting. Your enthusiasm helped me decide (with the other videos on UA-cam).
Great gun and thanks!
My pleasure Scott!
Magazine not clip smh
I had a SAR K2P, it was one of the best pistols I've owned so far and not just for the money. I'd take it to the range with a Walther PPQ I had at the time and shoot them side by side.

I'd definitely pick up a SAR again if given the chance.
im amazed how some foreign countrys can produce an accurate pistol, that can compete with the major gun makers here. that are well built and accurate with a lower price.
I agree. This would be 400.00+ if made here in my opinion. The EAA Windicator 357 magnum is another example of EAA quality imports at an amzing price.
I have the sar9 and I fell in love with sarsilmaz after that now I'm looking for something a little smaller to carry since I got my cwp and I want a sar compact
I inherited one of these when my dad died .This pistol is great! never misfires, very accurate and everyone who shoots it loves it. thanks dad.
i aswell. god bless
I also love the look of the stainless steel barrel with the rest of the gun black. Same goes for the CZ 75, with the addition of the stainless steel trigger. It just looks like the perfect mix of stainless steel and black on the gun.
I watched this review about a year ago...and bought this pistol. I've been nothing but happy 1000 rounds later. Kudos, Mr. Improper.
Eric Lee thanks Eric! That thing is one hell of a value, isn't it?
I have one of these, and love it. Total reliability. Accurate and fun to shoot.

The half clock mode is a copy of the CZ design with a decocker.
The if you use a CZ with decocker puts it in half cock mode.
Edward Rimkus OH!!

I couldn't agree with you more on that!
The only thing I cannot do is mount a light on mine unless they make a attachment for our SarB6p
You covered all the bases well done.
Once you break it in, the Double Action Pull Loosens Up.
Great video!! I learned a lot I really needed to know from watching this. Just ordered one when I came out of my basement LOL God bless sir!
Really nice video! Have you had a chance to play with the full sized B6P or know how it compares to the compact?
koolbeanz88 I have: and it's even more nice to shoot because of the full grips and added weight.
And you can use CZ mags in it I forget which model but they're available I think it's a CZ 75 B mag
Yes the 75B mags work
Even the extend mags work.
And I'm going to order the regular b6p model also
Kevin Segna I want that full size one with the stainless slide at Buds guns!
I've owned the full size for a little over a year and love it. Agreed to buy a used compact model that I found today so I'll pick it up next week.
I have friends with real CZ's and the B6P is very comparable for a much lower cost. Can't wait to get my compact!
I own the full size model. They are great handguns!! Can't beat the price either.☺

Capt. Killingfield It does at that!
"Half-cock" is a safety measure if you accidentally slip when pulling the hammer for a single-action shot, among other things.
Great rationale ... this is the best logical reason I have come across! Thank you
Right now, these are available online for only $269.
(September, 2021)
when the guns slide is riding inside the frame, they are more accurate, because it has a lower bore axis, and has a full frame rails to slide on.
Wow I kind of like this gun, first time seeing it.
I love mine. Wife and I bought 2.
Robert Siksnus Now THAT’S how you know it’s love!
I was stunned to see how accurate that thing was in my feeble hands!
I always rack the slide from over the top using the rear sights as leverage.
Matt Collett oh yeah! With your thumb and forefinger right?

I got a K2P for my neighbor and she loves it. I shot it a bunch and really liked it. Uses the same mags as the B6P.

In order to lower the hammer , first move the safety to tbe "off" or "fire" position. Grasp the hammer very firmly and put a finger between the hammer and firing pin. Then pull the trigger slowly and let the hammer move forward past the reasting position or " half cock position". Release then gently let the hammer down against the rear of the slide. Push the manual safety lever to the "on" or "safe" position". In layman terms you manually decock it and yes it is completley safe i have one and it again is cometley safe and that was quoted directly from this pistols saftey manual

Thank you! That function appears in most (not all) of the da/sa guns I’ve had... so I’m guessing some of the others incorporated the same intent behind their design too.
Good info!
You're welcome! Anytime sir. I would defenitly recomend practicing decocking the pistol unloaded first. Just to gain some confidence before actually trying to decock with a round chambered. It can be a little nerve wracking manually decocking a da/sa if you've never done it before. And if done incorrectly it can cause a discharge. But if you own this pistol you need to practice this and do it because it is designed to be holstered this way decocked in D/A mode and safety on. That. Safety part is up to your personal preference really. Not to worry though. If it functions anything close to mine, it should be extremely easy to master quickly. I feel really comfortable decocking this pistol manually. Very smooth action and the hammer isnt to heavy. Sorry for rambling 😆 I already assume you know this. Im just saying this for the readers. Safety first right? I really respect that you invite your viewers to correct your facts if need be. It really speaks to your character. And thank for responding thats awesome. Anyway I look foward to your next video. Thank you for the good content.
I am thinking of picking one for the value of the gun
I would like some comments
Matthew Hess Well I can tell you that you wouldn’t be sorry. It’s a damn well made gun.
@@CitizenCarry thanks
Just got one
I just ordered it from classicfirearms because I watched your video. Looking forward to it
Crow's Bridge Well if you end up anything like me, you’ll find that it’s one hell of an accurate gun!
On the CZ, you can NOT engage the safety w/ the hammer down, where you can on all the clones, unfortunately.
Excellent video thanks for talking about just the gun not yourself like everybody else does.
I am thinking you had to reset the guide rod position at 9:23 which is why you cut away for a moment. Amirite?
Hmm! I don't remember.... I was probably editing out another "umm" I'll bet. That or some aimless babble.
ok thank you is there a web page?
The half cock mode is to keep the hammer off the firing pin. It also slightly reduces trigger pull to trigger return spring for about 1/4 travel. Not that noticeable.
I prefer cocked & locked however some dufus decided to put the serial number on a metal bar right in the way of the rather sharp safety.
there is always a dufus somewhere along the line
thank you Cody
What holsters does this gun fit?? I can't find any made for this gun
How in the world would a person replace that uber curved trigger?
THANK'YOU'MAIN BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well done review partner!
Nice pistol & video. Good work 2
How is the recoil on this compact?
Not bad at all! The pistol fits so comfortably in the hand that recoil is actually supported well.
Excellent , I appreciate you reply and your videos.
God Bless!
Anyone own both a CZ-75 and this pistol??? How does this compare the orig. CZ??? Second, The manual states that this pistol cannot fire +P ammo??? I thought European NATO ammo was just as hot???
I can't say I know: Except I did shoot the CZ PO 7 duty ....and the feel was similar to the Sar
+2improper However....one day I will own the CZ75 Omega
+Stephen Maurer I have both. This SAR compact is my daily carry, and I also own a CZ 75B Omega with a CGW short reset kit in it.
Of course they are very similar except for size... They both feel great in the hand, but much easier to conceal the SAR.
Honestly, I would say I like the SAR trigger better. I was NOT impressed with the OMEGA trigger. The reset is insanely long. Even with the work I did putting the CGW kit in, the reset is still longer than the stock trigger on the SAR.
The reset means a lot to me at the range, but won't mean jack in a self defense situation, and the actual trigger pull itself, double and single action, is better on the CZ with the CGW kit installed. Probably a little better on the CZ without the kit installed also. Keep in mind that's the Omega I am talking about.
Reliability has been 100% with both. Recoil is of course less on the CZ, but the SAR is a soft shooter. There's a hollow area in the back of the grip that allows flexing, the shape and fit to your hand is amazing, and it's a joy to shoot at the range. To me, that's important in a carry gun. I have to enjoy shooting it, vs some of these DAO guns that suck to practice with.
I have heard people argue that +P should be ok in the SAR, and I would bet it's safe to carry it if you must. But, I wouldn't practice regularly with it or anything. SAR makes high quality products and I would be very surprised if it wouldn't hold up to a mag or two full of +P in a self defense situation, but that's up to you.
Sights are real nice on both. The SAR are a little smaller, but still pops out and easy to get a sight picture. They can catch a bit on clothes and holsters, though if you're using it for CCW.
Hope that helps
+Stephen Maurer Oh, and the machine work and finish on the SAR is great. The slide has some type of anti corrosion coating. I have worn it and I'm a sweaty guy, and I haven't seen a single speck of rust in 3 years of daily carry. I put a base coat of Eezox on it years ago, then I apply some Ballistol once every couple months.
The barrel on the SAR is gorgeous. The feed ramp is a mirror. The SAR quality of the machine work, finish, and internal parts is every bit as good as CZ, and I would rate the barrel even better than the CZ as far as visual machine work and polish. I have an EAA Witness poly full size, and it's very well made also, but the SAR quality amazes me every time I touch it, considering they are less than 300 bucks.
+Ian Rupert Thanks for the advise Ian!! I looked at a SAR B6P at a local gun store and have to agree with your observations. I really have not seen any neg reviews on this pistol.
is the grip slimmer than CZ 75?
Stop showing the cry babies the gun is empty. Your a grown ass man and if your not safe, that's your problem. Great review.
Couldn’t agree with you more! Thank you!
CDNN has a crazy sale on these right now. Have any of you had any malfunctions with yours? Will they take CZ75 mags (sticking out of course) and aftermarket sights?
I got my extra magazine from EAA. They sent me the one for the 9mm compact. Works well! No problems yet!
got my full size for $260, love it to death. shoots better than my m&p.
It kind of takes you off guard at first because you're expecting this thing to shoot like a $300 gun and exhibit flaws.... but it shoots as good as or better than most! I'm still blown away by it.
I love this pistol.
double spring why its that ... mine got too 2 spring on but i have no idea why ..help..
arben berisha maybe for the looong using time
The Witness just feels right in the hand. it's better to control. it maybe a heavy gun but I can't tell it. It think the slide has a lot to go with the control of the weapon
They do, they feel great!
I own one of these too and like it very much also
How is not an EAA witness ?
Are you asking "How is this not an EAA Witness?" Just so I know how to answer this.
+2improper Yes sir , pardon my quick type . But it appear's just about identical. I have tri-star cz replica, so i do like the style.
+Chris Sabre EAA (European American Arms) is merely the company that imports firearms made by different European manufacturers. The Witness is made by Tanfogilo, an Italian company whereas the SAR is made by Sarsilmaz, a manufacturer in Turkey.
+Paul Gianni Thanks for breaking that down. I like the witnss mechanics/EAA but ive heard there reliability can be irregular depending on the whether it was one of the nicer models. Also I love the mechanics of the cz-75 and own an s -120 thats shoots and functions quite well.
+Chris Sabre The Tristar is an excellent gun too. It's also a CZ design.
Seeing how there's 6 years of experience on this thread, can someone post names of some holsters that fit this gun, both iwb and owb? It looks like now the gun is called b6c.
If I’m not mistaken there’s an actual CZ compact that this one could fit the holsters.
A good thing to do is to go to the Sar USA site and ask their reps. They’ll tell you!
not just the woodwork the closet too lol. git-r-done
Very nice and funny review.keep them coming.subscribing
My problem with this is trying to find a spare magazine,
Thomas Sims The magazine is the same EAA Witness magazines with the same capacity. Check out EAA’s web site!
So tristar t100 or this gun? I have the full size B6p and like it.
No: The Tristars are made by Canik. Check out buds guns.com and you'll see Tristar under hand guns.
Thanks, so which one do you like better?
Is the t-100 a good bit smaller?
+shotclips I would say the Sar and the Canik were pretty close in size. The Sar is lighter because of its polymer frame.
Can you attach a light/laser?
Not on this one. There isn't a rail.
trigger mounted lasers bro, like on the lc9 or lcp.
Matt Collett did that have those for this?
You can buy one cheap on eBay but, it's kind of a pen style. Not form fitting around the trigger guard.
half cocked is like a drop safety
James jones yeah- that sounds about right!
9# DA? thats cool.... y is the original cz 75 at 12# DA...lol
I have another question about Our SARB6P bad Ass pistol can there be a laser on it Or am I shit out of luck.
James H hahaha! I don't think so. But maybe there's some kind of universal-ish trigger mounted laser. That's actually a pretty damn good question!
James H not easily. There is no rail. EAA does have the Witness P and the SAR K6 variants of this pistol that do have rails so you can add a laser, flashlight or whatever.
I have to agree with your observation about accuracy & the "Eewww!" factor. My B6P tears ragged holes with 124gr & is every bit as good as my CZ75. As for being Turkish? Don't forget that the HS2000 by HS Produkt sold poorly because it was Croatian...."Eeewwww!" But once Springfield put their name on it, called it the 'XD" & doubled the price it sold like hotcakes.....same gun, made in the same factory, but now people would buy them. If these SARs were rebadged as Rugers there'd be no "EEeewwww!" factor.
So Sar Arms literally means Steady Arms ;)
What holsters have you had luck with for the b6pc? I'm having a hard time finding a decent holster.
Absolutely anything made for the CZ75 compact will fit this like a glove. I've had two custom IWB kydex/leather holsters made for mine and just ordered the CZ75 compact each time. One is an alien gear (I think that's the name), they are extremely well made and very affordable. They come with extra hardware and everything. Strongly suggest it. Just order the one for the CZ75 compact and your SAR will fit perfect.
Yeah, it's alien gear. Select the cloak tuck and then CZ75 compact. Only 30 bucks!
Black Arch, Ace-1 gen 2 holster. (IWB) $60. Love this holster for this gun, perfect fit!
I was interested in this particular pistol until I saw how much muzzle flip there was in the video of you shooting it. Maybe you have weak hands or are using a very weak grip, but at around the 15:37 mark the muzzle flip looks extreme and uncontrollable. Thanks for the video however
Thomas S That’s because it was my wife shooting at that mark. This gun was smooth.
A++++++++++ video
Israel Cruz Thank you!
you are welcome. sweet firearm
i bought one. extremely nice gun for the price. almost waay too fucking nice for the price!
Very nice gun. I think it's better than my Glock pistol
I went out 2 month ago and bought one of these I would of like a heavy caliber but the 9MM is ok, I have even shot my yet , Money is tight when your on a fixed Income which that shouldn't stop me from going too the range and get close and personal. thanks for your remarks . The only thing that get me Mind cooking is everyone wants too fire it and I keep telling my so called friend go buy your own pistol , Your a big boy . So I will be taking a CCW Class and Hopefully I will never ever have too use is in a live threating Situation.
I just bought one and i wonder if i can find a holster designed for this gun. anyone would like to suggest anything?
+Juan Villa Fobus has a ton of them IWB, OWB Ankle you name it.

Chris Hassell Oh! No sir.. I didn’t take it rude! It was good info! Also, I appreciate the sub!! Thank you!
Good I'm glad. My wife says I'm rough around the edges and blunt 😆. Im glad I could help. And no problem. Subscribing was a no brainer. I love Turkish firarms and you have the best reviews of them as far as i can tell. Keep it ☝
Chris Hassell Wow! I appreciate that!! Welcome aboard, friend!
sorry I forgot to mention at GRABAGUN.COM shipping is $5.99 on any gun or guns. magazines are $20.00 + but for the price of the gun,, I can afford to buy more magazines... by the way it is a 9mm
