Tristara Protege X-Sub Comp 9Mm 3.2 Purple/Blk

The TriStar Protege X-Sub Comp 9mm is a compact single-action pistol built for shooters who want a reliable, no-nonsense carry gun without the bulk. At just 3.2 inches of barrel length and 6.2 inches overall, this purple and black 9mm delivers the firepower you need in a size that actually fits your waistband—or your backup holster. It's the kind of gun that appeals to experienced shooters who've done the math: manageable recoil in 9mm, proven single-action ergonomics, and a frame size that doesn't compromise concealment for capacity.

The Protege X-Sub Comp runs on a manual thumb safety, so there's no guesswork about take-down or carry mode—fire control is entirely up to you. Fixed 3-dot sights keep it simple and fast on target, which matters when you're counting on your gun to work. The extended magazine baseplate makes reloads faster and gives your pinky a place to live, a small feature that makes a real difference during range sessions or when hands are cold.

Single-action fans will appreciate the clean trigger and consistent reset that come standard with the platform. The 7+1 capacity means you're carrying eight rounds of 9mm—light enough for appendix or ankle carry, serious enough for the job. One magazine ships with the gun, so you're ready to hit the range or the range immediately after purchase. Weighing just 16.9 ounces unloaded, the Protege X-Sub Comp won't slow you down, whether you're hiking into a hunt or running drills at your local 25-yard line.

This isn't a gun built on marketing promises—it's a straightforward, single-action 9mm that gets the job done. If you shoot single-action, carry compact, and want a purple-and-black finish that stands out, the TriStar Protege X-Sub Comp belongs in your safe.
