Will a holster made for other handguns fit the SAR9?
Holsters designed for other handguns will not provide a proper fit for the Sarsilmaz SAR9. The SAR9’s slide profile, grip angle, and trigger guard require a holster molded specifically for its frame to ensure retention and safety during carry.
Are SAR9 holsters compatible with optics or red dots?
Most SAR9 models do not ship with optics-ready slides, and current Alien Gear holsters for the SAR9 are designed for standard-height slide configurations. If your SAR9 has been modified with an optic, you’ll need to verify optic clearance before use.
What carry options are available for SAR9 holsters?
SAR9 holsters in this collection support inside-the-waistband (IWB), outside-the-waistband (OWB), and chest holster configurations. Each setup is designed to accommodate full-size carry while offering adjustable cant and ride height where applicable.
Can the SAR9 be carried concealed using an IWB holster?
Yes, the SAR9 can be concealed with the right IWB holster. Alien Gear’s Cloak and Low-Pro IWB models provide the necessary ride height and shell profile to reduce printing while maintaining comfort during seated or active movement.
Do SAR9 holsters include adjustable retention?
Alien Gear holsters for the SAR9 include passive retention that can be fine-tuned by the user. This allows you to set your preferred draw resistance for everyday carry, training, or range use without compromising safety.
Is the SAR9 too large for appendix carry?
While the SAR9’s full-size frame makes appendix carry more challenging than with subcompact pistols, a well-designed appendix holster with ride and cant adjustment—like the Low-Pro IWB—can make it manageable for users with the right body type and cover garments.
Can I use a chest holster for outdoor or backcountry carry with the SAR9?
Yes, chest holsters are available for the SAR9 and are ideal for outdoor activities, hiking, or backcountry carry where waistband access may be limited. The setup secures the firearm across the torso, keeping it accessible and stable.
Are Alien Gear SAR9 holsters compatible with threaded barrels or suppressor-height sights?
Standard SAR9 holsters are molded around the factory barrel and sight profile. If you’ve added a threaded barrel or taller sights, verify that the muzzle opening and sight channel of the holster provide enough clearance before use.
What product lines are available for SAR9 holsters?
SAR9 holsters are currently available in the Cloak and Low-Pro series. Cloak offers comfort-backed holsters with modular features for IWB and OWB use, while Low-Pro focuses on deep concealment with a minimalist design.
Do SAR9 holsters accommodate left-handed users?
Yes, SAR9 holsters from Alien Gear are available in both right-hand and left-hand draw configurations. Make sure to select your preferred hand orientation when ordering.
