With aggressive cocking serrations, ergonomically designed grip and trigger guard and interchangeable backstraps the SAI BLU is designed to perform under the most rigorous and austere of conditions, no matter what the shooter requires of it. EMG has furthered their collaboration with Salient Arms International with the long awaited EMG BLU.

Featuring a durable polymer frame, machined aluminum slide and barrel assembly and interchangeable backstraps, the EMG \/ SAI BLU not only looks like its real deal cousin, it feels like it as well.
