Taurus TS9: A Quality Duty Pistol at an Affordable Price?

A review of the new Taurus TS9 striker fired, 17 round pistol. Is it a good gun for the price? I had been waiting to find out, and finally got my hands on one.

TN resident myself…. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video , this will not replace the G3 series .. its just a military overrun The TS9 is a tank … made for heavy and duty use … actually NATO approved… which means it went through and passed NATO 20,000 round tests The gun was originally designed with a manual safety but those imported into the US has had the safety removed.. You can find these for less than $250

[@a.joegevara3519]

Great content! Couldn't find anything negative about the TS9s, other than Taurus haters, hating all things taurus. I bought my grandson one, he'll be here tomorrow, early birthday gift. I bought my son a TH40c as well.

[@tayblunt2791]

Funny thing is I'm not a Taurus fan but I've been looking at this and I think imma grab it it's a gun it works and it affordable who gaf

I have a Taurus pt 740 Slim I carry daily for the last 7 years

The management of Taurus USA has improved with new CEO and marketing manager both gun industry guys. Bret Vorhees was with Walther before Taurus. This TS9 pistol has been in police and military service now for many years and the US has only just got in some over production guns so its doubtful that the US will see more of them. Taurus and SIG have some of the best ergonomics on the market. The GX4 has been a big hit also but a deal breaker for me having no manual safety that I demand on a striker pistol. Thanks for sharing.

Muito legal o vídeo, parabéns pelo trabalho!! Sou brasileiro e tenho uma TS9 a 2 anos, zero falhas, arma muito confiável. A policia do estado em que mora usa como arma de serviço. Acredito que a TS9 vai se popularizar bem ai nos EUA.

[@Preacher357]

Obrigado. Agradeço o feedback positivo. Taurus fez um ótimo trabalho com esta pistola. Eles estão realmente fazendo um bom trabalho. As empresas americanas de armas precisam seguir o exemplo da Taurus.

[@travispowell2471]

Its like you read my mind. I havent been a Taurus guy in the past. I am a Die hard card carrying member of the Steyr pistol fan club. And thats what i first thought of when seeing this new Taurus TS9. I purchased a TX 22 on a whim last year and its been great and i loved the Ergos. Recently picked up a GX4 Carry and i am very impressed with it too. Taurus is no longer a joke in the firearms industry.

[@Gmendo97]

I got mine in Gray about a month ago and had the same exact two issues. I was heading to the left and I verified this with a laser bore sight. Adjusted my front sight for that and then I also have a nice healing slide bite same exact spot and shape!!

[@Preacher357]

I still really liked the gun though.

[@joeschnell5695]

When I bought my Taurus G3 in Jan 2024 it came with a 17rd and a 15rd mags. Although I can’t shoot as often as I like, I like this pewpew and won’t trade it in for something else. In fact, imma gonna order an extra 17 & 15rd mags for it.

[@Preacher357]

The G3 is a good gun.

[@joeschnell5695]

Another fellow Tennessean, Benton County. I know. Very satisfied with it. Won’t part with it. Funny story if ya got time to hear it.

[@Preacher357]

@@joeschnell5695 Did you get it at Betty's in Camden? I haven't been by there in a long time.

[@joeschnell5695]

@@Preacher357 purchased at Shooter’s on Hwy 641. Funny thing is I went there sept of 23 just to look at guns. He had a used Taurus (can’t remember model) for $295. So when I was ready to buy I went back there hoping to buy that particular gun, but it had been sold. So he showed me a brand new G3, I liked the way it fit my hand. So when I found out it was $30 more for brand new over $295 used, I “pulled the trigger” and bought it! Haven’t looked back on the purchase.

@@Preacher357 I bought mine at Shooters on hwy 641 in Camden ( btw this was my first ever gun buy). When I first went into shooters just to look at guns sept of 2023, I had latched onto a used Taurus he had for $295. When I was ready to buy Jan of this year I was hoping he still had that gun, but it had been sold. He showed me a brand new Taurus G3, optic ready model. I loved the way it fit in my hand, and for $30 more over the $295 of the used Taurus, I couldn’t pass it up so I “pulled the trigger” and bought it. And haven’t looked back over the purchase.

[@raybo34]

Good video. Looks like a good shooter aside from the slide bite. The price is right too.

[@joshg0h79]

Big fan of taurus. I own 2 G3's. Trigger is very underrated. On G3 atleast

[@Outlaw07964]

THIS A UNDERRATED GUN CHANNEL!. I have been thinking about buying this gun for about a month now. I've been watching videos about it. This is the best video I've seen about this gun. Great job, preacher, man. New subscriber. God bless you, brother.

[@Preacher357]

Thank you. I appreciate the encouraging words.

[@Outlaw07964]

@Preacher357 no problem. Thank you for making a video on this gun. You explain everything where I can understand it. I'm a country boy from Alabama, so I talk the same way to do. I couldn't find a video on KZbin of a person from the country talking about this gun, but I'm glad I did. I'm going to look at one today, hopefully..

[@sleigh4019]

I bought a gx4carry last Thanksgiving ..and then added the lakeline comp barrel ..its crazy ..shoots way better then my X macro and I'm shocked how nice the gun is..its not a g3c its amazing and not a knock on g3 guns there just basic ..id say the new ppl in what 2018 at Taurus are going above and beyond to up the games

[@Mr.Jeff_356]

This pistol reminds me of a striker-fired version of the TH series that Taurus produces. The TH pistols are hammer-fired and the slide has different features (such as the loaded indicator being on the side of the slide versus on the top) but otherwise looks like the same gun. Ergonomics are practically identical. Thanks for posting 😊.

[@a.joegevara3519]

I bought a TH40c, and 2 of these!

[@a.joegevara3519]

Picked one up for my grandsons 1st pistol for $235, then I won an auction for another for $185 that I'll pick up today. I bought extra magazines for both, same as TH9.

[@Daniel-du7pv]

Did you like it?

[@bansheep1]

You should move the rear sights to the left instead if the gun is shooting to the left..

[@Preacher357]

That is not correct. If it is shooting to the left then you need to move the point of impact to the right. You then should move the rear sights the same direction that you want to move the point of impact; in this case that is to the right.

[@bansheep1]

@@Preacher357 oh yea...confuses me alot..

[@Preacher357]

@@bansheep1 I have to stop and think about it sometimes myself. I picture putting the sights on target in my mind and then moving the sight while looking through them and then think about which way I would have to move the muzzle to line them back up again.

[@terrybarnes0712]

Great video Preacher God bless from Central Kentucky

[@Preacher357]

Howdy neighbor. Thanks for watching.

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

Yeah, the g2/g3 trigger is odd. Its mostly pretty good, but for my bigger hand i feel like i'm burying the trigger half way through the grip before it breaks.

[@paulbarnes2752]

Looked one over at the gun store. Seemed like a solid gun. The slide seemed to have a lot of rattle, which is probably a minor thing, though.

[@Preacher357]

I noticed that with mine as well. It did not seem to affect anything so I didn't bother mentioning it.

[@ronniecunningham9293]

Very good video! I finally got to watch it!

Great review. Keep up the great work. 👍

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@jaysrandomnesschannel]

Taurus already offers the G3XL

[@chrischampion9647]

Taurus needs to make a solid carbine.

[@Preacher357]

I would be interested in one.

nice vid

[@sleigh4019]

The TS using the bobitz design over Browning action is nest and there 220$ lol crazy

[@sleigh4019]

Be a neat gun built in 3.5 and 12-15 rds ... But it is a neat duty size 100% ..kinda like the tisas px9 and now they have carry version

[@leoguy1609]

Taurus T9 wasn't intended to be sold in the United States and designed for Philippine National Police and Military use. Have three of them. There's a FDE version but it's not avalible in the United States. They are in the United States because of overrun and cam be pulled by Taurus at anytime.

[@Blakcircleguns]

What's your opinion on the Taurus G2S? Thanks

[@Preacher357]

I've never tried the G2S, but as far as I know it was basically just a single stack version of the G2C. As such, I can't imagine it being a bad gun at all. The G2C was an excellent pistol. The G2S is just slimmer and holds, I believe, 5 fewer rounds. The question, then, is whether that slimmer profile is important enough to you to sacrifice capacity. Furthermore, with some of the options out now, such as the GX4, can you get a smaller gun now that works just as well while still maintaining the same round count?

[@glennlanphier4824]

👍🥳🙏

[@Wildwestwrangler]

It was new to the US but not new in general

[@jwebb30]

Does it take th9 mags?

[@Preacher357]

I am not sure if there is mag compatibility or not. I didn't have any of the mags for their other pistols to try.

[@drmitofit2673]

Yes, work great, same part number (17rd)

[@scott7684]

mines a tank love taurus its under new ownership so yeah I could be a taurus guy my ts9 and tx22 the best 22 out there are tanks ts9 is smoothie out allyall that think not? thank u you'll keep my price down

[@JudahsAwakening]

These are great guns, however slide bite is user error the gun has plenty of tail end to get high and tight without going over board and getting caught by the slide….. for crying out loud it’s a 9mm so how high n tight do you need to be? 😂

[@Preacher357]

I am sure I had my hand too high when I closed the slide, but most semi autos don't grab your hand and pull it into the frame. 😁
