Taurus launched the all-new TX9 line of striker-fired pistols, marking a defining milestone for the company as its first purpose-built, duty-grade pistol platform. Expanding the Taurus TX Platform into 9mm for the first time, the TX9 brings the shooter-focused DNA of the TX22 and applies it to a service-ready system engineered for duty, defense, and concealed carry.
Designed and tested to meet military and law-enforcement requirements worldwide, including NATO specifications, the TX9 represents a significant evolution in Taurus pistol design. Built in the USA, the TX9 establishes a unified standard for performance, consistency, and adaptability across three mission-driven configurations.

Three Sizes. One Standard.
The TX9 platform is offered in three purpose-built sizes, each engineered around the same duty-grade architecture while addressing distinct mission requirements.
TX9 Full Size — Featuring a 4.5-inch barrel and 17-round capacity. Designed for duty use, home defense, and high-round-count training, it delivers full-size ergonomics, a longer sight radius, and balanced recoil management for sustained performance.
TX9 Compact — With a 4.0-inch barrel and 15-round capacity, the Compact represents the most versatile expression of the TX9 platform. Retaining the same controls, trigger system, and testing standards as the Full Size, it offers a balanced footprint suitable for carry, training, and general-purpose use without compromise.
TX9 Subcompact — Purpose-built for off-duty or concealed carry, the Subcompact features a 3.4-inch barrel and 13-round capacity. It delivers full TX9 performance in a discreet, carry-optimized package while maintaining optics-ready capability and consistent controls, allowing shooters to downsize without sacrificing familiarity or confidence.

Unified Controls. Seamless Transition.
Across all three models, the TX9 line maintains consistent ergonomics, trigger feel, and control layout, allowing shooters to transition seamlessly between sizes. Modular grips with interchangeable backstraps ensure proper fit for a wide range of hand sizes.
Every TX9 pistol is equipped with the Taurus T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optic Ready Option) slide, utilizing shared optic-cut geometry for compatibility with today’s most popular red-dot optics.
“The TX9 represents a defining moment for Taurus,” said Bret Vorhees, CEO of Taurus Holdings, Inc. “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.”
