Taurus’ TX line has just gone 9mm, with three sizes of TX9 to choose from.
Based on the DNA of the TX22, Taurus has just announced the TX9 family of pistols in 9mm. Available in three sizes, Taurus is calling the TX9 the company’s “first purpose-built, duty-grade pistol platform.”
The TX9 is a polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol family that uses a serialized steel chassis called the Taurus Modular System. That means that future upgrades like grip modifications will be able to be utilized without any additional transfers. All three TX9 models are also optics-ready thanks to their T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optic Ready Option) slides. They also all share the same ergonomics, triggers and control layouts, as well as modular grips with interchangeable backstraps.
Depending on your needs, the TX9 is available as a full size, a compact and a subcompact. The full size features a 4.5-inch barrel and a 17-round capacity, the compact features a 4-inch barrel and a 15-round capacity and the subcompact has a 3.4-inch barrel and a 13-round capacity. Of course, each of those is also available with a 10-round mag for ban states.
Bret Vorhees, CEO of Taurus Holdings, Inc., said this about the new pistols:
The TX9 represents a defining moment for Taurus … It is our first dedicated duty pistol platform, built on the TX™ foundation shooters already trust and engineered from the ground up for professional-grade performance. By bringing that DNA into a 9mm duty system—and building it here in the USA—we’ve delivered a platform designed to perform across every role and every size.
All three models of the Taurus TX9 have an MSRP of $500.
