Accessories for SAR

SAR is the brand of Sarsılmaz, the Turkish arms maker, and the SAR9 is its striker fired 9 mm pistol. Many SAR9 slides have no optics cut. If you want a red dot on one, the simplest way is a mount that takes the place of the rear sight.

A red dot without milling

Cutting a slide for an optic is permanent and costs a gunsmith's time. A dovetail mount uses the slot that already holds the rear sight: drift the factory sight out, push the mount in, fit the optic. Nothing on the slide changes, and if you ever sell the pistol or want iron sights back, the factory rear goes back in.

The Outer Impact mount

Outer Impact in the USA machines this mount from aluminium for a solid, recoil stable fit in the dovetail. As a type C part, its top is drilled for three common optic bases, RMR, RTS and Docter. Those three patterns cover a wide range of pistol red dots from many makers, so you have a broad choice of optic.

What to know

With the mount in, there is no rear iron sight on the gun, and you aim with the dot alone. The optic also sits a little higher than it would in a factory cut, which some shooters notice at first when they present the gun. A few minutes of dry practice finding the dot usually solves that.

Choosing your optic

First make sure the optic's base is one of the three patterns. After that it comes down to taste: a bigger window, a smaller or larger dot, a longer battery life. A larger window makes the dot easier to find when you are learning.

See it in Red dot mounts for SAR; the the Accessories for SAR 9 page lists it for the model.
