Taurus TX9 Series Debuts for 2026: Full-Size, Compact, and Subcompact 9mm Options [ GunBroker Video] — *Taurus TX9 Full Size handgun introduced for 2026*

Taurus expands its striker-fired handgun lineup for 2026 with the introduction of the Taurus TX9 Series, a modular, optics-ready platform offered in three distinct configurations: Full-Size, Compact, and Subcompact. Designed to cover duty use, home defense, and concealed carry, the TX9 lineup brings Taurus’ Modular System into a modern 9mm pistol built around adaptability and value.

This video takes a closer look at all three TX9 variants, highlighting their shared features, handling characteristics, and how each configuration fits a specific role.

A Modular 9mm Platform Built for Versatility

At the core of the TX9 series is a striker-fired, single-action-only (SAO) operating system paired with Taurus’ Modular Grip System. The design allows shooters to tailor grip fit and control without sacrificing reliability or simplicity.

All TX9 models are optics ready, making them compatible with today’s most popular micro red dots, and feature practical sighting systems with a white dot front sight and drift-adjustable rear sight.

Across the lineup, Taurus emphasizes shootability with a balanced slide profile, manageable recoil impulse, and consistent trigger feel.

Taurus TX9 Full-Size 9mm

The TX9 Full-Size is built for shooters who want maximum capacity and a full firing grip. With a 17-round magazine capacity and a 4.5-inch barrel, this model is well-suited for duty use, home defense, and range training.

Taurus TX9 Subcompact 9mm

For everyday concealed carry, the TX9 Subcompact is the smallest option in the series. It maintains the TX9 design language while offering a shorter grip and slide profile for improved concealment. Despite its reduced size, the Subcompact remains optics ready and compatible with Taurus’ modular grip approach.

This configuration is aimed squarely at concealed carriers who want a modern 9mm with familiar controls and consistent performance across platforms. UPC: 725327638315
