The TriStar Protege X Tri is a subcompact 9mm pistol built for shooters who need a reliable, no-nonsense carry gun that doesn't sacrifice control for concealability. At 6.2 inches overall and weighing just 16.9 ounces, this single-action manual thumb safety pistol fits easily into a waistband or pack without printing, making it a solid choice for everyday carry, backup duty, or truck gun scenarios where real estate is tight.
TriStar engineered the Protege X Tri with practical features that keep the gun working when it matters. The single-action trigger paired with a manual thumb safety gives you direct control—no mystery surprises when you press the trigger. Fixed 3-dot sights are straightforward and fast to use, whether you're shooting at the range or training for defensive readiness. The barrel runs 3.22 inches, a typical sweet spot for subcompact carry guns that balances velocity, sight radius, and handling.
Capacity is 7+1 with the included magazine, and the extended magazine baseplate gives your pinky finger a real purchase on the grip—crucial on compact guns where hand size can work against you. The olive drab and black finish is understated and tough, shedding the look of a mall-ninja special in favor of honest, working aesthetics. One magazine ships with the gun, so you're ready to load and go straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Protege X Tri a good carry gun?
Yes. The 6.2-inch length and 16.9-ounce weight are purpose-built for IWB and appendix carry. The manual safety gives you a positive retention mechanism, and the slim profile doesn't print easily under most clothing. It's a legitimate option for shooters prioritizing concealment.
What comes in the box?
One 7-round magazine with extended baseplate. The gun is ready to load and shoot once you secure ammunition and a holster.
Can I use this pistol for range training and defensive practice?
Absolutely. The single-action trigger and fixed sights are straightforward and conducive to skill-building. Many shooters use subcompact carry guns at the range to maintain proficiency with their daily tool.
How does the manual thumb safety work?
It's a standard single-action safety lever: engage it down before holstering for a positive mechanical lock, disengage it with your thumb as you draw. No ambidextrous lever on this model—it's thumb-operated only.
