OD Green Cerakote Slide & Frame – Rugged and Distinctive
The SAR9 Gen3 OD Green stands out with a matching Cerakote slide and frame, giving you both durability and a modern tactical look:
OD Green Cerakote steel slide provides excellent corrosion and wear resistance while adding a distinctive, low-glare finish.
Front and rear slide serrations offer a secure grip for press checks, admin loads, and manipulations in all conditions.
The OD Green polymer frame matches the slide for a cohesive, professional appearance that looks at home on the range or in a duty holster.
Cerakote is trusted across the industry for hard-use pistols, and this SAR9 Gen3 is built to handle real-world abuse.
Optics-Ready RMSc Footprint – Ready for Micro Red Dots
From the factory, the SAR9 Gen3 OD Green features an optic-ready slide with a Shield RMSc-type footprint, letting you easily mount many popular micro red dot sights:
Compatible with RMSc-pattern micro dots from multiple manufacturers (check your optic’s footprint compatibility).
Running a red dot can significantly speed up target acquisition and follow-up shots, especially in defensive or competition use.
Low-profile optics mounting helps maintain a natural sight picture and allows co-witness or backup night sights in many setups.
Whether you stick with the included tritium sights or upgrade to a red dot, the SAR9 Gen3 is ready for modern sighting solutions.
Ergonomic Frame – 20° Grip Angle & Interchangeable Panels
SAR designed the SAR9 series around ergonomics and shootability:
The 20-degree grip angle feels natural in the hand and points instinctively, similar to classic service pistol angles.
Three interchangeable backstraps and side panels allow you to tailor the grip size and shape to your hand, making the pistol feel almost custom fit.
A low bore axis helps tame muzzle flip and keeps sights tracking flatter during rapid strings.
Textured grip surfaces and a nicely undercut trigger guard promote a solid, high grip for enhanced control.
If you value comfort and control in a full-size 9mm, this frame design checks a lot of boxes.
Proven Reliability – 150,000-Round Endurance Tested
The SAR9 platform wasn’t just designed on a CAD screen; it was proven in brutal endurance testing:
The SAR9 family reportedly endured 150,000 rounds of live fire during development, an extraordinary torture test for a polymer, striker-fired pistol.
This testing helped refine the design for durability, consistent function, and long-term reliability under hard use.
For shooters seeking an affordable yet battle-proven design, that level of testing inspires confidence.
Striker-Fired Trigger, Multiple Safeties & Night Sights
The SAR9 Gen3 OD Green includes a modern striker-fired trigger and a full suite of safety and sighting features:
Trigger safety with center lever to help prevent accidental discharge if the pistol is dropped.
Manual safety and firing-pin/striker block provide additional layers of security for carry or storage.
Striker status indicator at the rear of the slide gives a quick visual cue when the pistol is cocked.
Tritium night sights offer a bright, easy-to-see three-dot sight picture in low or no light, ideal for home defense and duty use.
These features combine to deliver a pistol that is both safe to carry and fast to deploy when needed.
Full-Size Capacity & Accessory Rail
As a full-size 9mm, the SAR9 Gen3 OD Green is built for capacity and versatility:
17+1 capacity gives you ample on-board rounds for defense, duty, or extended range sessions.
Two 17-round magazines included so you’re ready to hit the range immediately.
Integrated Picatinny accessory rail molded into the frame allows easy mounting of weapon lights or lasers for low-light defensive work.
This makes the SAR9 Gen3 an excellent option as a nightstand pistol, duty sidearm, or range workhorse.
