Taurus TX9 Full Size Handgun 9mm Luger 17rd Magazines(2) 4.5" Barrel Black Slide/Frame

The Taurus TX9 Full Size is a 9mm striker-fired pistol built for shooters who need a serious duty-ready handgun that adapts to how they shoot. This full-size model pairs a comfortable 4.5-inch barrel with a 17-round magazine capacity—two magazines included—and a feature set that doesn't apologize for being practical. Whether you're carrying for personal protection, setting up for home defense, or running drills at the range, the TX9 delivers solid ergonomics and modularity without the premium-only price tag.

What sets the TX9 apart is its Taurus Modular System: a serialized modular chassis that lets you swap frame sizes between full-size, compact, and subcompact configurations. That means one gun platform can adapt to different missions and preferences as your needs change. An ambidextrous slide release and reversible magazine catch serve both left- and right-handed shooters equally. Four interchangeable backstraps fine-tune grip fit to your hand size—a feature often found on much pricier defensive pistols. The gun ships optics-ready via Taurus's T.O.R.O. System, and the iron sights use industry-standard dovetails, so aftermarket upgrades are straightforward.

Mechanically, the TX9 keeps things simple: a single-action striker-fired trigger with firing pin block and trigger safety, a matte-black nitride slide over alloy steel, and a stainless-steel frame that handles daily carry or duty use. At 25 ounces unloaded and 7.75 inches overall length, it's manageable without feeling tiny. The gun runs a 1:16.5-inch right-hand twist rate designed for standard 9mm loads. This is a no-nonsense platform for shooters who value adaptability and don't need marketing theater.
