The TriStar Protege X-Sub Comp 9mm is a compact single-action pistol built for concealed carry and personal defense. With a 3.2-inch barrel and 6.2-inch overall length, this tungsten-finished carry gun delivers the footprint shooters want for everyday holster work without sacrificing the manual controls and feedback that serious shooters prefer. At 16.9 ounces, it handles recoil without the jump of ultra-lightweight frames, and the single-action trigger gives you a clean, predictable press when it matters.
This is a no-nonsense carry gun. The 7+1 capacity keeps your round count practical for defensive work, and the thumb safety gives you positive control of the gun at all times. Three-dot sights mean fast sight acquisition in varied light, and the extended magazine baseplate adds just enough material for a secure grip purchase—especially useful on a compact gun where hand-to-frame space is tight. It comes with one magazine, so you'll want to grab spares depending on how you plan to carry or train.
Whether you're working a concealed-carry rotation, running drills at the range, or looking for a reliable single-action 9mm that won't break your belt setup, the Protege X-Sub Comp handles the job without fuss. The tungsten finish resists corrosion and doesn't broadcast light the way bright stainless does, making it practical for both range days and daily carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TriStar Protege X-Sub Comp a good concealed carry 9mm?
Yes. The 3.2-inch barrel and 6.2-inch length make it purpose-built for IWB and appendix carry without printing. At 16.9 ounces, it's light enough for all-day wear but heavy enough to manage 9mm recoil without fatigue or accuracy penalty. The single-action trigger and manual thumb safety appeal to shooters who want consistent control and positive safety engagement.
What comes in the box with this pistol?
The Protege X-Sub Comp ships with one 7+1 magazine and black grips. You'll want to pick up one or two additional magazines depending on your carry or training routine.
What does the extended magazine baseplate do?
The extended baseplate adds a small amount of length and material to the bottom of the magazine, giving your pinky finger and bottom grip hand something solid to anchor onto. On compact guns, this makes a real difference in control and confidence during shooting.
Is the tungsten finish just for looks?
No. Tungsten resists fingerprints and corrosion better than bare steel or bright finishes, making it practical for daily carry where the gun will see sweat, humidity, and handling. It also doesn't reflect light the way polished finishes do.
