Sarsilmaz, a leading global firearms manufacturer with a legacy dating back to 1880, announces its co-sponsorship with SDS Arms at the 2026 CMP Bianchi Cup, taking place May 21–24, 2026, at Green Valley Rifle & Pistol Club in Hallsville, Missouri.
The CMP Bianchi Cup is one of the most respected action pistol competitions in the world, bringing together top competitive shooters, industry partners, and shooting sports enthusiasts for a demanding test of accuracy, control, and consistency. The match includes the traditional Practical, Barricade, Falling Plate, and Moving Target events.
Through this co-sponsorship, Sarsilmaz will join SDS Arms in supporting the 2026 competition and engaging with attendees throughout the event. Sarsilmaz will showcase a selection of firearms from its product lineup, including the SAR9 series, SAR9 SOCOM models, the 7/24 series, and the K12 hammer-fired steel pistol.
"The Bianchi Cup truly represents the values of discipline, precision, and performing under pressure," said Miranda Cook, Chief Marketing Officer of Sarsilmaz. "These principles resonate deeply with Sarsilmaz's mission. We're proud to support the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) alongside SDS Arms, and we are grateful to stand with the dedicated shooters, organizers, and industry partners who are passionate about enhancing the world of action pistol competition."

The company's U.S. presence continues to expand through new product introductions, industry partnerships, and increased support for the American shooting sports community.
"Competitive shooting is one of the clearest proving grounds for firearm performance," Yeşilkaya added. "Supporting the CMP Bianchi Cup allows Sarsilmaz to connect directly with serious shooters and reinforce our commitment to building firearms that perform when consistency matters."
