Taurus TH9 Unboxing and First Shots

[@jerrywalters4158]

When you pull down on safety it is a decocker it activates a safety so it won't fire then , the decocker is to let the hammer down without the gun going off lol

[@jetfu400]

this is the most thorough review ive seen on this gun. thanks a lot sir

[@claponclapoff6]

The trigger reset has a double click . you don't have to let it out all the way , but you must let it double click.

[@5thsNGunz]

I don’t think mine has that. It might’ve been fixed. You should send yours in to Taurus maybe they’ll fix that.

[@Barikade]

Seems a few manufacturers are having false reset issues with certain power drills not just Taurus

[@leepenlack5548]

i have heard about the double click, mine has single click, i think i would ask a gunsmith about it.

[@ouroboros313]

18:55 The safety also acts as a decocker. When you push it down, it decocks the gun. That's probably why it kept misfiring.

[@legacy1776sibes]

The trigger has a sort of false reset. The trigger clicks twice when reset in single action, if it only clicks once it isn't reset. It has nothing to do with the safety, he just doesn't know the trigger.

[@ouroboros313]

@@legacy1776sibes Right but the safety also acts as a decocker. In the video he said his thumb kept hitting the safety. When you push it down, the gun decocks and resets back to double action.

[@legacy1776sibes]

@@ouroboros313 In order to decock you have to sweep the safety down completely, which moves the hammer forward and puts it in double action. I've shot the TH9 and have rode the safety, it was not an issue. I know someone else who has one and they've never had an issue. Unless the safety is being pushed down enough to decock it won't be an issue with stopping the hammer from moving forward (it doesn't block the firing pin like he said, it blocks the hammer. As long as the trigger is all the way back the firing pin can be hit.)

[@elm11958]

Why you holding the decocker down when you're trying to shoot

[@chrisbohanon403]

Wow man!! This has helped me immensely!! I've had the th9 for a few years now and just recently started having the exact same problem you were I thought my gun was broken! But now I've realized all this time I did shoot at first with a different style that's changed with a different gun where I do ride the safety. 3000 rounds to the th9 and never had that problem but I did not ride the safety at that time last time at the range this is exactly what I experienced this really helps me I have been so bummed out thinking the thing was broken!! Now I have an excuse to go to the range tomorrow and have some fun!!! 🤗

[@mpmcb2508]

You were decocking the gun , lay your thumb in the little thumb indentation on the grip. Also familiarize yourself with the controls and read the manual.

[@keithtate1241]

I love my Taurus pistols and currently own six a G2C, G3, TCP, TX22, PT740 Slim and a PT140 Millennium PRO. I have looked for a TH series or even PT800 series and have found none in my area. All my Taurus pistols have been accurate, reliable and eats everything I feed them. Thanks for the video.

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

Thanks for the comment Keith, I’ve got a few Taurus now and definitely impressed with what they’re putting out. So far my favorite Taurus is the PT1911, GX4 and the TH9.

[@ChrisHirner]

Its darn near a 7 pound trigger out of the box. It made me shoot low for about the first mag or so. It takes a little getting used to.

[@nonamegiven5744]

I really like mine. Easy grip change etc. only thing it didn’t come with the cleaning bore rod that the case has cutout lol. Nice price for it. After 200 rds , the rear site flew off. Ensure to tighten it and put some blue thread lock on it so it doesn’t happen again lol

[@5thsNGunz]

It’s way better than my G3. I was sad that the G3 only came in a cardboard box. So sad. My TH9 was first. And yes the hard case is very useful especially for someone who has to fly from time to time.

[@thegunstoreguy]

Get used to the trigger first, then worry about hitting the target later. Shoot a few mags with no targets and try rapid firing and then slow. Repeat: Get used to the trigger before trying to hit a target. I can see that's what I am going to do before I try targets.

[@suasponte6230]

Maybe you should move a little closer.

[@chefchris5133]

I have the th9c and the th40c. Haven't run into the safety issue. Both have been fine for me. Keep working at it👍

[@DavidCarpenter-hq2wn]

Just got mine. I dont like that it dose not eject spent rounds well. they just seem to pop up not flying out

[@blurryface1975]

did you figure anything out with the sight replacement? ive been struggling to find new sights for mine because it hits low for me but i havent found anything online yet. please let me know if you figured out a solution as far as replacing the sights. thanks

[@raulguzman5147]

I get mine since about a year and a half .... already 1700 rounds on it ... great gun !! I never had the issue related to safe/decocking probably because my hands are not so big so my grip is no so high !!

[@claponclapoff6]

I may have stripped my sight adjustment screws because of the red Loctite that I saw with a magnifying glass down next to the screw. Be sure to heat up the screw first

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

Sorry to hear that. Thank you for the comment and info sir

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Heat it how?

[@claponclapoff6]

When you learn the pistol the double click will almost disappear and sound like one click, because you will be firing it that well

[@jonathonblackburn1949]

why would you hold the firearm like that? your hand shouldn't be anywhere near the safety when firing...

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Inexperienced

[@royfromnash3124]

Does it shoot hollow points???

[@claponclapoff6]

A revisit to this video. The double click on the trigger reset is almost like a time delay thereby setting how fast you can fire the pistol

[@thegunstoreguy]

I just got mine yesterday (5/27/2023). I hope it shoots well for and the accuracy is good. At least I'm hoping anyway.

[@sammyprestwood3182]

Most reliable sa/da pistols i know are: Top 1: canik tp9da (striker fired but with decocker how nice) Top2: taurus th9 Top3: barreta with decocker version Top 4: taurus pt92 Canik is the safest of them all if you ask me. Top

[@grandmastertippett4548]

Dude, I have the TH and it did shoot left when I got it and had to adjusts the sights, better ammo works better and 124 grn works better. I had over 5,000 rounds in mine then the trigger broke. The gun is good for the money. but if you want better reliability, you have to spend more. Shooting low is snapping the trigger.

[@Poor_mans_Pyro]

Im glad i watched this video ruger lcp has that same false trigger reset i hate it good thang my g3c don't have it think i migh go with the g3 as my next 9mm

[@tbthebomb2342]

Just got mine

[@brianinthewildcolorado2778]

I can’t wait to shoot it again. Thanks for the comment

[@scott1152]

The "double click" is because there are two re-engagements of the trigger assembly. One is engaging the firing pin/hammer block and the other engages the hammer sear. It is likely a sample to sample issue as to how audible, or how close together they are. Think of the audible/physical clicks you hear on an original design single action (Colt 1873) vs the newer design with a transfer bar (Ruger Vaquero) where you have an additional click. Like everything else about a firearm, it is muscle memory - release the trigger x amount and squeeze again - imprint. Also.. (and not targeted towards you directly).. Stop using shit ammo to review firearms. Big brand for breakin, then see if it will run shit ammo. At the very least change to different brand ammo before assessing functionality/reliability.. You have a nice place to shoot btw.

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Great post. Thanks.

[@rammannawar1626]

As a G2 and G3 owner love both but I got a Str9c it just beats the G2,3 in performance try getting the Stoager Str9c and see what you think.

[@darktrojan00]

was shooting low with my taurus and figured out taurus uses a combat hold instead of a center hold, when you figure that out you will start hitting everything you aim at

[@blurryface1975]

so how exactly do you align the sights? the only way i could hit with mine was if i bring the front dot above the top of the rear sight it was hitting so low

[@darktrojan00]

@@blurryface1975 google "combat hold" and you will see what i mean, if you use the combat hold and still experience the isue and you have the pt111 g2 the rear sights are adjustable so try and raise them. Also see if the range officers still have the same issue as you and let em shoot ur gun, cause it might just be you, if not then its time to give taurus a call or get some new sights preferably adjustable for elevation just in case

Sent my TH9 back to Taurus they put new ejector in it now is worse then what it was. Jams on almost every shot and still dose not eject shell well. I would not buy this gun. I think its JUNK!!!

Did you clean it when you first received it and after the repair?

[@joeschnell5695]

Sounds to me like you were limp-wristing your gun, in other words, not holding your gun tight enough.

i have the same pistol, you should not have two clicks, mine has only one click, you need to have a gunsmith check it out, or send it back to taurus

If the manual is important maybe you should read it before shooting a video. Th9 has a versatile safety decocker. Great function but bad placement.

[@NormanVanGuilder-w4l]

Cheap Ammo

[@jesse-45cal-WCM]

Keep up the work. That pistol has a false double reset on that trigger. Let the trigger out further. The thumb on the decocker and safety will not allow the hammer to follow all the way through. The Tula ammo has hard primers. Not a good ammo to test a gun with. I have the same gun and it won't do the double click every time. Stop relying on the clicks and just let the trigger a little further out.

You should reposition your camera so we can actually see the gun and it’s recoil 😐
