The submachine gun is a fascinating firearm. Introduced to the world by Hugo Schmeisser in 1918 as the MP18 and chambered in 9MM, the submachine gun was built as a close to medium-range firearm able to put a good number of pistol-caliber rounds on target and fast. The \u201csub\u201d in submachine gun refers to that pistol caliber chambering, and of course, the full-auto nature of the firearm labels as \u201cmachine gun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last 103 years, the submachine gun has seen all sorts of technological advances.  But the reality for the American gun owner? Acquiring a full-auto version of this  firearm will be damned expensive. For most of us, prohibitively expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
Home defense, recreational shooting and just looking cool: the SAR 109T Subgun checks all three boxes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another option for those who like the look and feel of the submachine gun is a semi-automatic version, like the 109T 9mm Subgun produced by Turkish gun manufacturer Sarsilmaz (SAR) and imported into this country by SAR USA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 109T Subgun is SAR\u2019s semi-auto version of their full-auto gun used by police in various foreign nations. Yes, it looks like an AR Pistol\u2014complete with AR-style controls, a rail atop the receiver, and an AR-looking handguard–and one might assume it is gas-operated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
Some of the 109T’s AR-style controls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But the 109T\u2019s design is an original submachine gun, which means standard blowback operation. The 109T\u2019s bolt is not locked at the time of cartridge ignition, and the resulting pressure or recoil of the escaping gasses pushes back the bolt and flings out the spent brass. Then, the recoil spring forces the bolt forward, stripping a new round from the magazine and chambering it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of the box, my test 109T 9mm was a thing of beauty, with a barrel just shy of nine inches long, pop up sights front and rear, and that AR-pistol look. The 109T also came with two 30-round stick magazines and a foregrip that fit to the bottom of the handguard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
The SAR 109T Subgun right out of the box, and…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As soon as I could, I grabbed a few boxes of 9MM ammunition and headed to my range. And as soon as I started shooting, I discovered a problem. I couldn\u2019t hit much with the 109T 9mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I anchored the 109T 9mm to a shooting table, the 109T 9mm grouped well enough. But offhand and held at eye level? Forget about it. I couldn\u2019t get steady holding it with two hands and trying to line up those high sights. I did somewhat better holding the 109T at my waist, but only when the target was within five yards or so. Beyond that and it was shoot and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I got to work and tricked out the 109T 9mm. Just a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
…tricked out by McCombie with a Trijicon MRO and an SB Tactical Pistol Stabilizing Brace, neither of which are included with the P109T. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, I mounted a Trijicon<\/a> MRO Reflex Sight onto the 109T. The 1-25 optic features a 2 MOA green dot, 8 illumination settings, and a \u00bd MOA elevation and windage adjustments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
Mounted on the 109T Subgun, the Trijicon MRO Reflex Sight got McCombie onto target fast and accurately.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, I added an SB Tactical<\/a> SBM4 Pistol Stabilizing Brace, sliding it over the 109T\u2019s buffer tube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
The SB Tactical Pistol Stabilizing Brace made the 109T much steadier and therefore much easier to shoot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note: The SAR 109T Subgun is not sold with the MRO and pistol brace!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back at my range, the 109T 9mm was now scary accurate. I shot the rig offhand at 10 yards and from a rest at 15 and 20 yards, using three brands of 9MM ammunition: Aguila Ammunition<\/a>, firing a 147-grain FMJ bullet; Hornady<\/a> Critical Defense loaded with 115-grain FTX bullet; and Remington<\/a> UMC and its 115-grain FMJ projectile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a standard range ammunition, the Remington UMC\u2019s performance in the SAR 109T was amazing. Shooing at ten yards offhand, I pegged a five-shot, 1.40-inch group with four of those rounds scoring a .73-inch cluster. At 15 yards and firing from a rest, the UMC placed five shots into a very impressive .62-inch group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
Remington’s UMC 9MM firing a 115-grain FMJ bullet was amazingly accurate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My one self-defense round, the Hornady Critical Defense, registered five-shot groups of .90- and 1.06-inches at 20 yards from a rest, with four of the shots actually touching each other in the later grouping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
During multiple range sessions, Hornady’s Critical Defense 9MM stopped many a “bad guy.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Aguila did fine, too, with groups one-half to a full inch larger than the other two rounds and well within the target \u201chit\u201d zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My 109T came with two Colt-style 9MM stick magazines holding 30 rounds apiece. They worked fine for FMJ range ammo, but I had some jam ups using the Hornady Critical Defense rounds. I contacted SAR-USA\u2019s marketing person, Joel Harris, who explained that SAR-USA was working on upgrading these OEM magazines as the specs weren\u2019t as tight as SAR-USA had hoped. Future 109T\u2019s will have the upgraded magazines, he assured me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meantime, Harris sent me the AR-Stoner<\/a> AR-15 9mm Luger 32-round magazine. It worked great without a single ammunition malfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 109T\u2019s trigger pull, as measured by my Lyman<\/a> Digital Trigger Pull Gauge, averaged at 4-pounds 7-ounces. The trigger isn\u2019t great. It lacked crispness. That said, and given the above-cited accuracy, the trigger was more than functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tested
The handguard provides lots of rail and many attachment points.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The compact SAR 109T is a fine choice for home defense, with its high ammunition capacity and fine accuracy. Compared to a 9MM pistol, the 109T\u2019s longer barrel also provides additional velocity for better, more powerful ballistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shot and chronographed the same three 9MM ammunition brands in both the 109T 9MM and the SAR9 semi-automatic pistol with a 4.4-inch barrel. The difference in muzzle velocity between the two firearms was significant, as measured by my RCBS<\/a> Ammo Master Chronograph, from an additional 100 feet per second (fps) with the Aguila 9MM to 165 fps in the UMC and a whopping plus 197 fps with the Hornady Critical Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug the numbers into a ballistics app and the difference is significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hornady<\/a> Critical Defense in the SAR pistol left the barrel at an average of 1,142 fps; the 115-grain bullet generated 333 foot-pounds (ft-lbs.) of energy at the muzzle and 304 ft-lbs. at ten yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 109T, that same load produced 1,339 fps and a whopping 457 ft-lbs. of energy at the muzzle. At 20 yards, the Critical Defense was moving at 1,261 fps with 406 ft.-lbs. of 9MM energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More power than a handgun and a higher ammunition capacity to better defend one\u2019s self, family, and home. And it looks cool as hell. That\u2019s the winning package known as the SAR 109T Subgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
