r/SarUSA

Anyone else had issues with this? I just bought a new CM9 and in the 200 rounds i fired today (Federal 115gr fmj) I had 13 light primer strikes. They all fired on the second strike, but i find this to be very unusual.

This is ammo from a case i bought, it’s been fine in other pistols. Very disappointed as i hadnt heard any complaints about this from other owners.

Every time I watch a video on the SAR 7/24 the more I like the pistol. I like all three of them, however I do not plan on conceal carrying these so I think that would eliminate the 3.6" carry option. With that said, does the extra 0.4" of the Sport make that big of a difference over the 4.0" version of the Standard Model? If you were going to buy one, which one would you go for knowing you are not going to conceal carry it? Are there any differences regarding the triggers between the models? I've seen on SAR USA website they all are identical except for the length, but I've read that there are differences in the trigger between the Sport and Standard model. Final question, and I thank you if you got this far, will the Mec-Gar CZ-75 9mm 19 Round Extended Magazine fit these pistols? I hope so otherwise I will be stuck to buy from SAR USA at a premium for less rounds. I am so undecided as to which model to get I wish I could get my hand on one prior to and test it. The 3.6" carry model looks pretty damn cool, but I don't think it will shoot as well as the 4.0" or 4.4" barrel. Anyway, thank you in advance for any feedback or insights you can provide! Thanks!

I know that my sar9 is tuned for NATO ammo but I shoot what I can find on the cheap. Winchester NATO is often available but not always. Anyone else had problems with blazer 115 brass stove piping for them? I'm wondering if going to a 15lb recoil spring would help.

1. I use standard pressure 147 for defense and although I have had no issues so far, I definitely do NOT want to worry about a stovepipe in a critical situation.

Based on what I read on a few other posts, I got the orage county customs trigger which has adjustable pre-travel. I was hoping to reduce a little of the grit I feel and also drop the pre travel down before the break. Long story short, that trigger works in the gen 2 sar9 but you will lose the functionality of the thumb safety.

While I had the gun apart, I did a little polish work on the trigger bar, the grip module, and the connector. That was all fine other than not having quite the preferred tools for it. I used flitz and a variable speed Dremel on lowest setting, with only a cloth wheel (not even felt, though I may go back and use a wool/felt bit in the future) because I didn't want to over-do it. The trigger bar itself and anywhere it contacts were polished to a mirror finish. The pull is now somewhat smoother and once it breaks, most of the spongy/gritty feel (of which there wasn't a lot to begin with) is gone. Pull feels marginally easier, but mostly just smoother.

Then I started on the trigger shoe work. The pin holding the trigger shoe to the trigger bar is a pain to remove. Really difficult but I got it. Putting the new trigger shoe in was not too hard. Everything went together just fine until I had it nearly reassembled. I tried the thumb safety before I put the safety lever cross pin back in place, because that tiny little bugger is incredibly difficult to do as well. I'm glad I did. The thumb safety does NOT work with this trigger shoe.

It seems that the OC Custom trigger shoe moves the trigger bar down by maybe half a millimeter. That's enough to cause the thumb safety to become inoperable. The tab on the safety lever cross bar can no longer push up past the notch in the trigger bar and engage, thereby blocking the trigger bar from moving backwards.

This trigger shoe would PROBABLY work just fine if you are okay with losing the use of the thumb safety. That's not something I'm okay with so this trigger shoe will be returning to OC Customs.

I just figured I would share this tidbit in case anyone out there is looking for a similar upgrade.

In that vein, if anyone can absolutely confirm that there is an adjustable travel aftermarket trigger that works with standard gen2 sar9 and retains the functionality of the safety, please post!
