Description
Taurus took everything people loved about the TX22 and built a centerfire fighting pistol out of it. The TX9 Full Size is the company's first purpose-built, duty-grade 9mm platform, designed and tested against military and law enforcement standards, including NATO specs, and built right here in the USA. This version pairs the full-size frame and 4.5 inch barrel with 10-round magazines, so you get the whole duty-gun experience with a longer sight radius, soft recoil, and grown-up ergonomics.
What Makes the TX9 Different
The heart of this pistol is the Taurus Modular System, a serialized steel chassis that acts as the fire control unit. That means the grip frame is just a component, and you can move the same chassis between full-size, compact, and subcompact configurations as your needs change. Four interchangeable backstraps come in the box so you can dial in the grip to your hand, and the ambidextrous slide release plus reversible magazine catch mean lefties get a real seat at the table instead of an afterthought.
Optics Ready Out of the Box
Up top, the slide wears the proven Taurus T.O.R.O. mounting system, using adapter plates that fit most of the popular red dots on the market. Prefer irons? The white dot front and drift-adjustable rear sit in industry-standard dovetails, so aftermarket sight options are wide open. Forward and rear serrations give you solid purchase for press checks and racking, and the gas nitride finish on the barrel and slide shrugs off wear and moisture.
Taurus TX9 Full Size at the Range
At 25 ounces unloaded with a 7.75 inch overall length, this pistol settles nicely in the hand and tracks flat through strings of fire. The striker-fired trigger breaks clean and consistent, and the four-slot Picatinny rail up front handles lights and lasers for home defense duty. Whether it becomes your nightstand gun, training pistol, or the foundation of a modular setup you grow over time, the TX9 delivers a lot of modern pistol for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Taurus TX9 Full Size optics ready?
Yes, every TX9 ships with the Taurus T.O.R.O. optics-ready slide. It uses adapter plates that work with most popular slide-mounted red dots, so you remove the cover plate, install the correct plate for your optic, and mount up. The iron sights also sit in industry-standard dovetails if you want to run aftermarket sights instead.
Can I swap the TX9 to a different frame size later?
You can. The serialized part of the TX9 is the steel chassis inside the grip, not the frame itself. That means you can move the chassis between full-size, compact, and subcompact grip modules as Taurus rolls out those components, turning one pistol into a whole platform.
Is the TX9 good for left-handed use?
It is one of the more lefty-friendly pistols in its class. The slide release is fully ambidextrous and the magazine catch is reversible, so a left-handed shooter can set the gun up properly instead of working around right-handed controls. The grip texture and backstrap options are neutral for either hand as well.
What is the difference between this TX9 and the 17-round version?
Mechanically they are the same pistol, with the same 4.5 inch barrel, full-size frame, T.O.R.O. slide, and controls. This version simply ships with 10-round magazines instead of 17-round mags. Everything else, including the trigger, sights, and included backstraps, carries over.
