A look at the new Taurus TS9, a polymer-framed full-size 9mm pistol with interchangeable backstraps.
Yes, another full-size polymer-framed 9mm striker-fired pistol is here, this time from Taurus in the form of the TS9. The TS9 isn’t a new pistol, but it is new to the U.S. market. The pistol has previously only been available to purchase by military and law enforcement groups, both within Brazil and outside of it. Due to what Taurus is referring to as a sales overrun, the TS9 is now available on the American commercial market as well, albeit in limited quantities.
Frankly, in terms of modern features, the TS9 is a bit bland. Given its heritage as a law enforcement pistol, however, its bare-bones nature makes more sense. More importantly for that role, Taurus says that the pistol is rugged, reliable and has passed rigorous NATO tests.
As mentioned, the Taurus TS9 is a full-size polymer-framed striker-fired pistol in 9mm. It has a magazine capacity of 17 rounds, an accessory rail and an ambidextrous magazine release. Both the front and rear black iron sights are adjustable, and each pistol will ship with four interchangeable backstraps.
The Taurus TS9 will be offered with a choice of either a black, gray or OD green frame color, and each pistol will ship with two magazines. MSRP starts at $499.99.

The Taurus TS( is a surprising gun.. let me explain. I am not bad at shooting most of my pistols with a 1 to 2 inch range at 15 yards. More than enough for a defensive situation. When I shot my TS9 it was low and to the right. no matter how hard i tried it just didnt work out. After fixing the right sight it is now right on target with the rest of my guns. My point is dont give up on her, she can do the job and holds 17 true rounds. She is finicky like most girls but set them up and they will fly.
