The Taurus TX9 Compact 10-round pistol (brand part no. 1-TX9C441-10) is the restricted-capacity version of the Taurus TX9 Compact, shipping with two 10-round magazines instead of the standard 15-rounders for shooters in capacity-limited states. Everything else about the pistol carries over: a serialized stainless steel modular chassis that lets you swap between full-size, compact and subcompact frames, a 4-inch barrel, and a gas-nitride alloy steel slide cut for the Taurus T.O.R.O. optic system. The sights ride in industry-standard dovetails, with a removable white-dot front and a drift-adjustable rear, and the slide release is ambidextrous with a reversible magazine catch. Four interchangeable backstraps fit the grip to your hand, and at 23.7 ounces unloaded it carries comfortably for home defense or duty use. For a buyer who needs a 10-round 9mm without giving up the TX9’s modular chassis, this is the configuration to order.

Key Specifications

• It is chambered in 9mm Luger, the standard duty and defensive cartridge.
• Capacity is 10+1 with the two 10-round magazines Taurus ships in this configuration, sized for capacity-restricted jurisdictions.
• The barrel is 4 inches of matte-black alloy steel, the compact length that balances velocity and concealment.
• Overall length is 7.19 inches, with a height of 4.8 inches and a width of 1.28 inches.
• Unloaded weight is 23.7 ounces, light for a stainless-chassis pistol of this size.
• The frame is a serialized stainless steel modular chassis, so the serialized part moves between Taurus full-size, compact and subcompact grip frames.
• The slide is alloy steel with a gas nitride finish, cut for the Taurus T.O.R.O. optic-mounting system.
• Sights are a removable white-dot front and drift-adjustable rear in industry-standard dovetails, so aftermarket options fit.
• The controls include an ambidextrous slide release and reversible magazine catch for left- or right-handed shooters.
• Safety is a firing pin block and trigger safety on a striker-fired, single-action-only trigger.
