Sarsilmaz B6 Features

Dovetailed Rear Sight

The Sarsilmaz B6 comes with a dovetailed rear sight, making it easy to adjust or swap out with aftermarket options for a personalized touch. However, the front sight isn’t as customizable, which could be a downside if you like to tweak your setup. Plus, the standard sights aren’t night sights, so visibility in low-light situations might be a bit of a challenge.

Rear Slide Serrations

The rear slide serrations on the Sarsilmaz B6 are designed to give you a better grip when racking the slide, adding extra control during use. That said, some might find the serrations a bit too subtle, which could make slide manipulation trickier in wet conditions or when wearing gloves.

Extended Beavertail

The Sarsilmaz B6’s extended beavertail is a great feature for preventing “slide bite” and offers a higher, more comfortable grip during recoil. However, it might feel a bit bulky for shooters with smaller hands or those who prefer a sleeker, more compact pistol profile.

Manual Thumb Safety

The Sarsilmaz B6 features a manual thumb safety, allowing for a cocked-and-locked carry and adding an extra layer of security with a chambered round. On the downside, its placement might feel awkward for some users, and operating it quickly under stress can be tricky. Plus, engaging the safety while decocked locks the slide, which could slow you down in an emergency.

The Sarsilmaz B6 includes a firing pin safety, which blocks the firing pin until the trigger is fully pulled, adding extra security against accidental discharge. However, some users might find this feature a bit complex, potentially causing confusion if they’re not familiar with how it works.

Hammer Safety

The Sarsilmaz B6’s hammer safety prevents the hammer from falling unless the trigger is fully pulled, reducing the risk of accidental discharge. However, like the firing pin safety, it might feel a bit complicated for newer users, potentially leading to misfires or unintentional action locks if the mechanisms aren’t fully understood.

Honestly, if you’re new to handguns or just love finding hidden gems like I do, this one deserves a serious look.
