As you can see SAR's ship with the mag inserted and no slot for a second mag.
Not true, the case is "slotted" for a second magazine, but I also don't believe CDNN or anyone else is "stealing" them.
I have no trouble believing it whatsoever. When the Canik 55 TP9 V1s were being phased out of the market CDNN, being one of the very few online retailers who sold them, suddenly dropped their regular price, and they advertised them as only having 1 magazine. TP9s ALWAYS come with 2 magazines, even to this day the newest models come with 2.
FWIW I've bought 5 Turkish pistols from CDNN, both of my Caniks came with 2 mags, the SAR ARMS only had 1 each. Considering that the CM9 Gen 2s come with 2 mags and there are many more online retailers carrying them than previous SAR pistols I'm pretty sure I got ripped off.
