Turkish defense industry leader Sarsılmaz continues to expand its presence in the highly competitive U.S. firearms market. The company, in cooperation with its U.S. representative SAR USA, achieved significant recognition this week after being featured simultaneously in three of the most respected shooting publications in the United States. This milestone not only highlights Sarsılmaz’s growing international influence but also reinforces global confidence in Turkish engineering.

One of America’s most reputable firearms magazines, Guns & Ammo, dedicated its latest cover to Sarsılmaz’s SAR9 SOCOM Compact model. The magazine examined the pistol in detail, covering its modern design philosophy, engineering quality, technical features, and performance test results. The SAR9 SOCOM Compact stood out as one of the leading models in the modern handgun segment, further validating Sarsılmaz’s commitment to innovation and reliability.

Another remarkable achievement came from American Rifleman, which selected the SAR9 SC Gen3 as its “Handgun of the Week.” The publication’s video review, which quickly spread across social media, highlighted the model’s compact structure, ergonomic design, and impressive performance. These evaluations once again demonstrated that the SAR9 series successfully meets the needs of both professional users and civilian shooters.

Additionally, the RECOIL platform—known for its in-depth coverage of firearms and tactical gear—conducted a detailed review of the SAR9 series within the same week. The content emphasized Sarsılmaz’s extensive product range, engineering strength, production quality, and user-centric design approach. Appearing in three major U.S. publications in such a short time provided Sarsılmaz with exceptional media visibility and strengthened the company’s foothold in the American market.

Founded in 1880, Sarsılmaz is among Turkey’s largest private firearms manufacturers, offering a wide portfolio serving both military and civilian markets. The company’s U.S. representative, SAR USA, headquartered in Miami, plays a crucial role in connecting American users with Sarsılmaz products and supporting the brand’s global expansion strategy. Altogether, these developments reaffirm Sarsılmaz’s position not only as a prominent firearms manufacturer but also as a key representative of the Turkish defense industry's international competitiveness.
