Just got one.. yeah I realized you had to really break the safety in.. I like that's ambidextrous though. He said his mags were 15... The one I have is 18 +1, if I keep one up top.. I don't like the sights, I'm thinking of getting m&p sights..
@@batonrougerp7423 The 15 round pistols are "compact" size (like a glock 19). The 18 round's are Full sized (like a glock 17). Just about every brand follows this standard. And will usually have a sub-compact size and also a full size with a long barrel-- like a GLock 34 or Sig p320 Legion or Canik Rival, etc. Like competition size... Sounds like you just have the Full size.
I actually just bought this from Classic Firearms for $329. I love the look of the gun and for the price and reviews around TH-cam and online, you can’t beat it. Can’t wait to pick up from my local ffl dealer.
I just got one of these, and it appears to be a very good value, but I've experienced similar problems with the safety. Hopefully it will improve with use, but right now I can only put the safety on by pushing up on both the right and left actuators at the same time. Once the safety lever is switched on (up), I can then take it off in the normal way, by pushing down on one side with my thumb. The other problem that I have noticed is the incredibly stiff spring in the magazine. I've only loaded one of the two magazines with 10 rounds, but that was much more difficult than it should be. The spring is stiff enough that I cannot press down the top round far enough to start inserting the next round, even with only one round loaded. The "speed loader" that ships with the gun is no help. It will only push down the rear end of the top cartridge while leaving the nose sticking up at an angle, preventing insertion of the next round. I've ordered a Maglula loader, and that may solve the loading issue.
Warranty service update. I sent this in to SDS Imports for warranty repair, but they sent it back without addressing the defective safety mechanism. Based on my experiences, I would not recommend purchasing Tisas products or anything from SDS Imports.
Just picked one up for 200 bucks. I'm sure its the gen 1 but for the money who can complain. Hopefully it works. Takes M&P sights an sig 226 mags and xd9 recil springs.
@@batonrougerp7423that is true. But look at it this way... a lot of 🔫's don't have safeties. This one does. That's an added bonus. As long as u can push it down easily which u can thats all that really matters
@@kevbiker3982 i am still saving for this haven not got it just yet .but im sure i will the reviews seem really good & i have big hands so it should fit well im acutely going to go to one of the locale gun ranges and get a feel for it i think first they do a basic gun course for $125 for 4 hour & 125 for each station up to advanced
This is a good one but as far as a APX, that it one sweet shooter and also would say have to be my wnd top gun i have, XDM elite has top spot for me, but the APX is amazing & fun!!
You really gotta put in effort to switch the safety up and down. I had quite a few problems when first firing, but after 150 rounds it's operating much better.
The safety is hard to move but you can take two fingers and move safety several times and then just keep doing it and then you can move it with your thumb but excellent gun to me it jammed twice went to more grain and that solved it good luck buddy!!
I would 100% spend the extra money on the Sig. I know it seems like a lot but you know you are getting quality in the parts that matter the most such as the barrel.
I recommend either Streamlight or Surefire. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend a laser as they aren’t as reliable as a pair of good night sights. I recommend spending the extra you would on a laser on a good set of irons.
I just ordered an ADE Optics red dot with a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield mounting plate that supposedly will fit my PX-9. I can let you know how that goes.
@@mwroman1934 Got the ADE red dot installed and just zeroed it in today. It's not a perfect fit in that it doesn't quite match the contour of the top of the PX9 slide, but it's straight and tight and looks pretty good. Had to get a gunsmith to get the PX9 rear sights off. There was a set screw beneath that I couldn't get to without removing a pin that served as a hinge for the rear sight adjustment and needed a very tiny punch.
The sight had to be adjusted on mine. It was visibly off. There is an adjusting screw you have to turn. Otherwise Love the gun. Mine came with two 18 round clips.
Somebody with a decent hand size. I watched a couple videos previously and the people reviewing this pistol looked they should be handling a .380 or .22 NAA not full size pistol.
Are these any good I have a tisas 1911a1 model and I’ve fired close to 1000 rounds from it and it works super well idk if they’re striker fired handguns are as good lemme know
Yes. This Gen 1 is a great 🔫! Trigger is awesome. High quality 🔫 for a low price. Safety is stiff pulling up. Safety is easy going down/turning off ..and that's all that really matters.
I also have the silver Tisas 1911 with black grip. Great 🔫. I've only put about 180rds down. I can only fit 4 rds. Something wrong with the mag. No biggie.
@@kevbiker3982 if your saying XD is cheaply made i would respectfully disagree. I have both (XD hss a birthday of 2021) and there both Excellent guns!!
@@kenb2606 Heck no, X D’s are great guns. What I was trying to say is because the PX nine is so much cheaper, some people think it’s a low budget gun. It can keep up with the XD in every way, all day long, year after year.
Good looking gun, nice copy of XDM elite.Awesome price but every video I have seen so far, the gun jammed or not able to rejects. that makes it too unreliable.
Lol, sorry looks are relevant you judge a gun by looks ? I mean no disrespect...but if. there getting that close to admire the looks, then you might have a long day..lol
That PNP stamp just gives it an added coolness point. Thanks for the video!

Been had mine for 3yrs well under rated gun
I just brought mine for 198$ + free shipping.. on sport man fullment... they have them on sale now for 179.99$
Just got mine recently. I loosened up the safety by pulling both sides from the top at the same time. Did it a couple of times
I’ll have to check that out next time I get one in.
Nice work. The slide screams FNS. While the over all look says Springfield XD.
So true!
@@GunBoxTherapy measure the barrel. Only 4'', not 4.5'' as advertised.
I have 2 PX9s both came with 18 round mags. No complaints about the firearm
Bought one on line last Christmas for $259 only put a hundred rounds through it so far so good
I have the same firearm and the safety is hard at first but it eases up with play
I agree, I did same while watching the blub-tube..aka TV
I’m sure the TH-cam staff loves these videos. Please keep making them. 👍🏼🇺🇸👍🏼
The 15 shot mags are the 18 shot mags with the limiter.
Just got mine today! Love it!
Actually, they are made in Malaysia it was contracted out
Excellent close up shots. It's a nice looking firearm. Saw the police at Istanbul Airport carrying them. Price and quality is amazing.
I have one so to turn safety on grab the gun with right or left hand and use your other hand to push both sides up . Thumb and index finger

@@ChorteBoy512 since that’s the law, yes they did. Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not.
Great reply! lol. You may have just evaded the ATF with that! Be careful!

Yeah I just got 18 rnd sig mags for it but I'll probably keep the 15 rnd ones as back up..
The safety is a pain in the ass though 😅
U stole it for $200. This 🔫 just runs! Goes bang everytime
@@batonrougerp7423that is true. But look at it this way... a lot of 🔫's don't have safeties. This one does. That's an added bonus. As long as u can push it down easily which u can thats all that really matters
The safey if you pull back just a hair on the slide it flips up easy.
Thanks. I’ll try that out.
Thank you
Bought one on 4/2 and it was defective and sent it back to SDS Imports. They replaced the trigger bar and safety plunger, return time was 35 days.
My safety was stiff asf too lol but just work it and it gets better literally just sat and worked it while watching tv, it’s a lot better now lol
Have you tried giving the safety a good shove? It's really stiff for the first dozen or so actuations.
I did man. That thing was not budging whether a full mag, empty mag, or no mag inserted. It was really weird.
My safety was stiff at first now it goes right down with very lil effort
im actually getting this good price & will be my first fire arm . i was going to go berretta APX but it sold out .
Lucky for you! Better gun for less. Do you like it so far?

You really gotta put in effort to switch the safety up and down. I had quite a few problems when first firing, but after 150 rounds it's operating much better.
Next time I have one in stock I’ll try a bit harder to get it to actuate. I wonder why the tolerance is so tight?
@@GunBoxTherapy wait for v2, it has just been released the market.

I imagine that Classic Firearms will be. They are a major dealer of a lot of import guns.

Im thinking between m17 sig and this one. Here in Kosovo m17 sig is 1700$ and PX-9 about 900$. Pretty expensive. But idk if 900$ is worth the PX-9.
I would 100% spend the extra money on the Sig. I know it seems like a lot but you know you are getting quality in the parts that matter the most such as the barrel.
What the hell does the SDS mean? I’m thinking about getting this pistol for home defense
Got one with 18 round Mags, it's actually a good hand gun, but not so fair on every day carry
I’m trynna get a red dot sight and a laser/flashlight for this firearm any recommendations?
