This is a GREAT full size hammer fired 9mm and he is spot on about the slide. If you want an easy slide for your woman....GET THIS SEMI. The weight is great. Its actually a great alternative to a 1911 and in fact made me decide not to waste my money on a 1911. Extra mags are about 25 bucks and they also work with the older 809 series. Gave $295 for mine. The mag release button is a little tight and he is spot on about using the index finger on the right side. But no big deal. You wont find for around 300 bucks a better hammer fired semi at a price even double.
I currently own the Taurus th9 and I also own the sd40ve. I love my th9 it feels better in my hands than the g3. I only paid $275.00 from my local pawnshop used in excellent condition. I haven’t shot it yet but I tested it manually by racking rounds out of the magazine. It feeds good. I can’t wait to shoot mine and I also can conceal carry it with my permit with no problem. Thanks for the review great review sir. Second amendment carry on. I will not comply.
Taurus is starting to stock the TH9 magazines finally. They did have them listed on their site, ans several venders have them in stock. Cheaper then dirt still has them in stock as May 2019
I bought the similar PT809 years ago. I found that the mag release does loosen up after some time and use. Not a big issue for me. You are right about mags. I bought a third mag for my gun soon after getting it. It was hard to find but I lucked out. Good gun overall for the price. It was my first pistol and my only one. It's a good range gun. Not a practical carry gun. More of a duty gun. But anyone needing a duty gun would would surely pay for a higher priced gun like a Glock, Sig, S&W or any other well known model.
Understand what you mean about people wanting more well known duty guns. I have a SIg P320 also - but the TH9 has been every bit as reliable as the Sig has.
@@Sui778 I'm sure it is reliable as is mine. But Tarus does have a checkered history so that is going to be an issue with a lot of duty gun buyers I would think.
Saw a review about one these that is owned by a brazilian gun club. It took 150k rounds for the slide to break. They did change some minors parts on the way to that round count too.
I'm planning on buying my TH9 soon. Big plus for me is the ambidextrous features. I'm teaching my 13 yr old daughter to shoot and we are both lefties. It seems to be a great gun for the price! Finding firearms and holsters for left handed people is a challenge. Let me know if any of you found a reasonably priced left handed holster for the TH9. Happy shooting!
I have the PT 809 basically the same gun I absolutely love my PT 809. I had the 709 slim for my carry gun loved it but my hands are a little to big for it so I sold it. I've been looking at the Th 9 C but I've got some mixed reviews from TH-cam videos about not being real reliable. So I've swithed my thoughts to the pt111 G2 every review and every thing I've read about it it's a hell of a gun. And you can get magazines for it, unlike my PT 809 magazines are like $38 and you can't find them. Great video thanks
Thanks - I'm a little surprised about the reported performances of the TH9C - but the TH9 doesn't seem to suffer the same fate - it runs just fine and almost every other review I've seen on the full-sized version states the same. I never got a TH9C, much less have the need for one as I already had a PT-111 G2 which has also been 100% reliable.
I've really like my TH9. The only problem is finding a holster I like that will fit my gun since I have a Olight mounted on it. I agree about the mag release. I do the same by using my index finger to release it.
Often it seems everyone looks at guns thru the lens of it being a competition gun. This is why this gun cannot compare to others. This is not in that market. This is an inexpensive, reliable, self defense & range gun for shooting fun. The trigger is well designed for this. I suspect some polishing of the trigger components will do wonders for them feel.
I agree 100%. Never mentioned I thought this would be a competition gun, and the trigger on it is fine since it can be left in single action. I'm not a fan of the double action and never will be, but there still something to be said about the heavy double action being an additional layer of safety.
They said the same thing bout the Sccy mag realeas but after breaking it in with oil the mag release is perfect. And there’s no false reset on the trigger at all. Just to let those who’s thinking about getting it. The true and only con about this weapon is the weight it’s a real gun. Weighs 28 ounces
@@carlosgarza9116 about 3 weeks ago a friend shared a link on facebook from Academy, I was able to reserve mine and pick a time a day to pick up. At the time the teal colored guns where sold out.
Good review, but I must disagree with you on your statement about the value of warranties. Depends on the manufacturer. I've had excellent warranty service from Ruger in particular. They replaced my mk iv at no charge to me because the firing pin broke and peened the chamber wall. I've also had good luck with smith and Wesson and tristar. I wouldn't overlook a gun because of the warranty, but it's nice to know the manufacturer will stand behind their product if it fails to perform
I respect your opinion on warranties. But just as a guy who has handled RMA's and repairs before I just know how the operation works. I'm not saying that any manufacturer is looking to screw people and not honor a warranty when the manufacturer is genuinely at fault for whatever reason - but it comes down to a simple game of numbers - whose gonna pay, and can we charge them to fix it on a technicality. That's just how it is.
Good overall review of the pistol. I does look, to me, that when you are measuring the trigger pull weight, you might be pulling from a bit to high on the trigger.
I probably was, having looked at the video - it didn't help that I was having to do all that standing behind a tripod without bumping into it. The bottom line is the single action is a lot cleaner. The nice thing about the DA however, is you really have to mean it to pull the trigger, so I consider that a safety feature of sorts - I don't carry it that way, but it's a good option if one hates thumb safeties.
i have this and the compact both,, i like them and i am very picky,,,,,, if you carry it in the double action mode no reason at all to keep the safety on
Good video and you guys talking about the Academy deal, that's the th9c compact model. The mags are mec gar and will get easier to find. The academy deals are limited edition colors not the black models, js
Thanks for the review. I was looking at the taurus TH for a dedicated target-range handgun. the magazine shortage is the only reason i have not already bought one. i am looking at the ruger security 9 as well and every shop in town has the ruger mags. hard decision i really like DA/SA pistols.
Yeah the scarcity of TH magazines and other models from that manufacturer are annoying to say the least. But the DA/SA offers options that are very hard to ignore - one big reason I got a TH9.
Good review. Thanks. Now, the mag release, .5 ounce heavier than advertised comnents make no sense to me. I have several guns and rifles. Each one is different. I get used to it. Have 2 Taurus by the way, PT92 and PT111millenium G2. Love them. This one maybe next year. Have a nice day.
I merely am just reporting mine weighs more than advertised - I personally don't have a problem with it. I also have the 111 - and I like that gun a lot also. Not sure what you were saying about the mag release, but out of the box, it sucks. But it does work.
@@Sui778 The mag release seems to work better when you push the right side, good as I am left handed. I was not thinking about you when commented about the weight. I had the gluctards in mind. My apologies. Had a sar k2p turquish pistol. A work horse but innacurate. Lost $300 in a trade. Thanks for taking the time to answer my comment. Have a nice day and enjoy the new Taurus.
@@peterpaul6725 Actually the mag release buttons behave the same - a bit sticky and mushy. I use the right hand button because I can push down on it directly with my index finger and get a solid release that way. Works better than thumbing it on the left side. In your case it would be the reverse since I'm a right handed shooter.
@@Sui778 My pistols mag release buttom is to the left. I got used to use my middle finger (strange) (positioning the pistol about 45 degrees) in a way that the mag falls in my right hand or my next mag is waiting to go in the mag well. With right release buttom I use my thumb. With rifles, scissors or playing pool I am right handed. That is why I say I have several guns and adapt to each one. Some cowboys may say"in a shoot out you are dead", happened once and we both survived. Reality is not like the movies. Thanks for your time. Nice sharing comments with you. Saw your range video. Next time please show the target. You won a like. Have a nice day.
my g3 slide is like that as well, you can rack it with just the thumb and index finger. My m&p pistols take a considerable effort in comparison. I guess the slightly heavier slide is a good thing.
There is good and bad in a slide that's easy to rack - obviously good in the sense that it's very easy chamber a round, but on the flipside it wouldn't take a whole lot for an assailant to grab your slide and push it back. But then again if you're in a defensive situation and that happens - well - you waited too long to shoot anyway.
I agree about warranties. They are not worth the paper they are written on. Take it to a licensed gunsmith if it has a problem you cannot fix. I have heard "One year warranty. I will never buy a Taurus." Then don't buy a Glock either.
The vast majority of people who do not complain about warranties of any kind (guns or otherwise) are also the ones that take care of whatever it is they bought. They aren't doing things like not cleaning the weapon or using ammo with the wrong pressure rating, etc.
@@Sui778 Then they claim Glock's track record like Glock can never have quality control problems. Any manufacturer can at any time have quality control problems including Glock. I agree those folks complaining about it are usually the ones who abuse their guns.
$245 at Bud's last week... Put some gun oil on that mag release from both side a couple outings in a row... DUH.... Mags availabe at Cheaper than Dirt... Bought 2 17 rounders this week.... Mags for the TH9 Compact too...!
@@Sui778 I have heard from other reviewers that the button is very stiff and hard to push, which tells me the spring is too stiff. Easy fix. Like you showed, that mag flies out of there once the button is pushed in far enough. It could also be stiff like that to prevent jams, by accidentally hitting the mag release button and letting that mag slip down a tad. Makes the gun more reliable, but makes changing mags something to get used to. Build up those thumb muscles...lol
@@pickin4you I am guessing that it's the spring myself, but the reason I wonder if it's something else (or in conjunction with the spring) is it doesn't just feel stiff - it's almost like it's hitting something inside - but that could simply have to do with the size of the spring also. I don't think it's worth replacing - the mag release works as is and a minor issue at best.
Any advice on how to adjust the sights? Mine are pretty bad off right out of the box. I have human Silhouette paper targets and to hit center mass on the chest I have to aim just over the shoulder on my right. There are not many videos other than basic reviews on this pistol and word really like some advice. Thanks
It is sticky and mushy in it's original state 4 safety/liability reasons, when you pull the slide back the gun is empty,it is not a liability issue,the marbles up stairs,"R" missing!
Great review Sui 778! I'm eyeing on this TH9 as a back gun for competition ( Production division). I will still have to check the mags availability if it can be had + the holster from the same gun store. Is there any 5 inch barrel available for this gun? Thanks again for sharing!
There are no barrel length variations that I know of - pretty much with the full size you're locked into the 4.27 inch length. While I think highly of this pistol I don't think I could recommend it as a competition gun, even if only as a backup - it just doesn't have the precision accuracy competition shooters are looking for. In the self defensive world it is plenty adequate, however. Mag availability is always questionable with Taurus autoloaders regardless of model. The bottom line is - if you see the mags you need for a Taurus pistol - get them right there and then.
The TH9c was my first and will be my last Taurus I buy. I clean my guns thoroughly after each range visit. My Taurus is prone to failure to eject after about 50 rounds. That is the minor issue. After abot the first hundred rounds on the new gun i was getting fail to fires. When I got home I went to disassemble the gun and had to beat the slide off. The fail to fire was because the slide was not returning to the full forward position. This was caused by a ridge that developed on the forward part of the ejection port causing the slide to rise up on barrel block and jam against the rails. All I've ever used is Winchester standard found nose loads. Very dissapointed.
I want to hear what you have to say about the 1. Canik tp9sf elite compact 2. Taurus th9 3. Taurus th9c compact 4. M&P M 2.0 compact 5. Glock 17 Gen 4 6. Taurus g2c 7. Beretta apx 8. Taurus 24/7 G2 40mm I'm looking at these guns to see which one I'm going to buy first but I'm going to buy the Taurus g2c for 300 first
You can find the g2c for way less than $300. $215-245 range easily. I went with a Hp22a($125) as my first. Learn to shoot first, and what feels good in “your” hands. Then choose the gun that fits “your” needs.I would look into the G2s. Just my opinion.
If you want a warranty that is worth the paper it's printed on then buy a Hi-point. If you want a gun that works every time you pull the trigger then get a TH9, M&P, Sig 226,227,229, Glock, Beretta, Canick, ECT, ECT...... Personally o have never had a issue with my Hi-Point. I have had issue with my 24//7 G2C. There are some ammo that takes 2 or 3 tomes before it will fire. Make a a nice range toy and trap line gun bun not a EDC weapon. Any other pistol or revolver in my collection has proven reliability. Including my C9 Hi Point. Might add this to my collection.
Not using that kind of grip anymore. Using the old military left thumb over tendon grip instead. Just works best for me - and my thumbs are too short for tacticool on a fullsize.
When you pull the slide back to eject a round from the chamber does the round eject out of the side or does it fall down through the grip and fall out the bottom of the grip? Most of the time on mine it just falls through the inside of the grip and falls out the bottom….every once in awhile the round will eject out the side but most times not. I thought my gun was broken when I first got it but it shoots just fine.
Mine doesn't do that - neither my TH9 or TH40 do that for that matter. When I pull the slide back to empty the chamber, both always will spit the round out of the ejection port, which is what is supposed to happen. If I were you I'd contact Taurus about that - something's not right.
@@Sui778 yeah I thought that wasn’t right. The weird thing is….it shoots just fine….the empty cases eject out of the ejection port when it fires….but for some reason if I pull the slide to eject an unfired round about 95% of the time it just falls down through and out of the bottom of the grip handle.
Supposedly The XD9 Mags Feed Well.. DO NOT LOCK OPEN ON LAST SHOT. I Have 20 Or So XD9 Mags.. I Want A Hammer Fired Concealed.. Don't Wanna Introduce New Mags Into My World.. That's Why Th9C Is My Next Pistol
The barrel is a quarter inch longer, the grip has the new stippled texture, no serrations in the front of the slide. Also, no more Taurus security system.
Sui778 I think that Taurus looks amazing. It reminds me of my Ruger Security 9mm a little bit. I think that Taurus looks better than my Ruger actually..
I don't have an opinion on the 24/7 - I've never shot or held one. As far as the size comparison goes - the 24/7 G2, TH9 and TH9C are all larger pistols than the G2C.
@@cnottagejr Yep TH9C is about 3/5 of an inch longer than the G2C. As far as whether you should buy them or not, I would go look at them and shoot them if you can before you buy if at all possible.
@@Sui778 I love how the Taurus th9 feels in my hand and I wanted to shoot it but they didn't have the gun to rent to shoot. But I'm going back to see if they have it to rent now. The Taurus is a good brand and I want to purchase one
Yes, there is a loaded chamber indicator right above the extractor on the right hand side of the slide. I showed this in the original review of this pistol.
@@Sui778 Do you think that the TH9 is CC-able? I have an FNH FNX-9 -- which has very equivalent ambi controls, also hammer-fired very similarly-sized , but the FNX-9 weight is 21.9oz -- 6.3oz lighter than TH9. However, the FNX9 costs about 2x the price of the TH9. Thoughts?
@@tkarlmann Considering the dimensions of the FNX, the TH9 would be a larger conceal - it is 0.32 inches longer and a half-inch taller. Not quite as thick though - about 1/4 of an inch thinner. I personally don't carry guns this size - I go for smaller - say PT-111 G2 or smaller.
Me personally, I'd take the TH9... more controls, better grip, and a bit heavier. I personally didn't like the way the SD9VE felt in my hand as much either. Not to say it's a bad gun, I just like the TH better overall.
G2c trigger is fantastic in my opinion, go handle one, EVEN da is light to me, BUT I just did a few engine swaps over the past few months so.... no soft hands here
This is a GREAT full size hammer fired 9mm and he is spot on about the slide. If you want an easy slide for your woman....GET THIS SEMI. The weight is great. Its actually a great alternative to a 1911 and in fact made me decide not to waste my money on a 1911. Extra mags are about 25 bucks and they also work with the older 809 series. Gave $295 for mine.

It could also be stiff like that to prevent jams, by accidentally hitting the mag release button and letting that mag slip down a tad. Makes the gun more reliable, but makes changing mags something to get used to. Build up those thumb muscles...lol
@@pickin4you I am guessing that it's the spring myself, but the reason I wonder if it's something else (or in conjunction with the spring) is it doesn't just feel stiff - it's almost like it's hitting something inside - but that could simply have to do with the size of the spring also. I don't think it's worth replacing - the mag release works as is and a minor issue at best.
da/sa with a decocker two 17 round mags.....buy one now.... next I want a th 40 and the th45 own the g2 g3 g3c allready
Mags on taurus website. 26.00 each.
Can someone link it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
my local gun store ordered some more mags for me from their supplier
Solid review. really appreciate the trigger pull weights. Thank you.
Appreciate that - thanks!
Excellent video!!
I heard a version of the Berreta 92 mags fit this also by mecgar
Any advice on how to adjust the sights? Mine are pretty bad off right out of the box. I have human Silhouette paper targets and to hit center mass on the chest I have to aim just over the shoulder on my right. There are not many videos other than basic reviews on this pistol and word really like some advice. Thanks
It is sticky and mushy in it's original state 4 safety/liability reasons, when you pull the slide back the gun is empty,it is not a liability issue,the marbles up stairs,"R" missing!
Great review Sui 778! I'm eyeing on this TH9 as a back gun for competition ( Production division). I will still have to check the mags availability if it can be had + the holster from the same gun store. Is there any 5 inch barrel available for this gun? Thanks again for sharing!
There are no barrel length variations that I know of - pretty much with the full size you're locked into the 4.27 inch length. While I think highly of this pistol I don't think I could recommend it as a competition gun, even if only as a backup - it just doesn't have the precision accuracy competition shooters are looking for. In the self defensive world it is plenty adequate, however. Mag availability is always questionable with Taurus autoloaders regardless of model. The bottom line is - if you see the mags you need for a Taurus pistol - get them right there and then.
The TH9c was my first and will be my last Taurus I buy. I clean my guns thoroughly after each range visit. My Taurus is prone to failure to eject after about 50 rounds. That is the minor issue. After abot the first hundred rounds on the new gun i was getting fail to fires. When I got home I went to disassemble the gun and had to beat the slide off. The fail to fire was because the slide was not returning to the full forward position. This was caused by a ridge that developed on the forward part of the ejection port causing the slide to rise up on barrel block and jam against the rails. All I've ever used is Winchester standard found nose loads. Very dissapointed.
I want to hear what you have to say about the
1. Canik tp9sf elite compact
2. Taurus th9
3. Taurus th9c compact
4. M&P M 2.0 compact
5. Glock 17 Gen 4
6. Taurus g2c
7. Beretta apx
8. Taurus 24/7 G2 40mm
I'm looking at these guns to see which one I'm going to buy first but I'm going to buy the Taurus g2c for 300 first
You can find the g2c for way less than $300. $215-245 range easily. I went with a Hp22a($125) as my first. Learn to shoot first, and what feels good in “your” hands. Then choose the gun that fits “your” needs.I would look into the G2s. Just my opinion.
It's a 40 caliber. 40mm is a cannon used by the military.
If you want a warranty that is worth the paper it's printed on then buy a Hi-point. If you want a gun that works every time you pull the trigger then get a TH9, M&P, Sig 226,227,229, Glock, Beretta, Canick, ECT, ECT......
Personally o have never had a issue with my Hi-Point. I have had issue with my 24//7 G2C. There are some ammo that takes 2 or 3 tomes before it will fire. Make a a nice range toy and trap line gun bun not a EDC weapon. Any other pistol or revolver in my collection has proven reliability. Including my C9 Hi Point.
Might add this to my collection.
Good review.
Magazine Warehouse has mags for it.
buds got em for $284 right now
Cheaper than dirt has for 281
only company to never give me a issue about warranty was ruger
Ruger's customer service is the best. They back what they sell and turnaround time is very quick
Smith and Wesson has been good to me .
Just curious are you still gripping the pistol like in the inset or was that just your tactical grip?
Not using that kind of grip anymore. Using the old military left thumb over tendon grip instead. Just works best for me - and my thumbs are too short for tacticool on a fullsize.
Thanks for your time.
Review request, how about the compact model (TH9c)? Any chance you will review one of these soon?
Probably not. I'm not a big channel nor am I sponsored by anyone. There are already dozens of reviews out on the TH9C as it is - plenty to look at.
@@Sui778 Okay, thanks. I appreciate the response.
Bro i would like too see you clean it I'm sold on it
He broke it down in another video.
When you pull the slide back to eject a round from the chamber does the round eject out of the side or does it fall down through the grip and fall out the bottom of the grip? Most of the time on mine it just falls through the inside of the grip and falls out the bottom….every once in awhile the round will eject out the side but most times not. I thought my gun was broken when I first got it but it shoots just fine.
Mine doesn't do that - neither my TH9 or TH40 do that for that matter. When I pull the slide back to empty the chamber, both always will spit the round out of the ejection port, which is what is supposed to happen. If I were you I'd contact Taurus about that - something's not right.
@@Sui778 yeah I thought that wasn’t right. The weird thing is….it shoots just fine….the empty cases eject out of the ejection port when it fires….but for some reason if I pull the slide to eject an unfired round about 95% of the time it just falls down through and out of the bottom of the grip handle.
How are you pulling back on the slide - are you doing it lightly or are you pulling it back firmly?
@@Sui778 I’ve done it every different way….
@@jamesmoore4003 Call Taurus.
One thing I can't find any information on for this pistol about. When the safety is engaged does it lock the slide from moving?
Yes the safety prevents the slide from moving and I demonstrate this in the first review of this pistol.
@@Sui778 Thank you! I'll have to take a look at your first review then.
Yes...it locks the slide. I love this gun and consider it for the price a great get.
DO Not rely on lifetime warranties, like the man says. Would I buy it again...you bet. Would I buy yours if you dont like It....ABSOLUTELY !!!
I own 6 Taurus pistols, have used the warranty once, no problems, great timely service.
Supposedly The XD9 Mags Feed Well..
DO NOT LOCK OPEN ON LAST SHOT.
I Have 20 Or So XD9 Mags..
I Want A Hammer Fired Concealed..
Don't Wanna Introduce New Mags Into My World..
That's Why Th9C Is My Next Pistol
do they work?
@@Amir_Nassir
Test
@Amir_Nassir
Yep .
Just No Bolt Hold Open On Last Round
I Own A C(Compact)
I Don't Know If Xd Mags Work On Full Sized Model
Yo we go to the same range. What are the odds
Figured it would happen sooner or later - it's a popular range.
What's the difference between PT809 and this one?????
The barrel is a quarter inch longer, the grip has the new stippled texture, no serrations in the front of the slide. Also, no more Taurus security system.
That is a very nice handgun
I like it a lot. Runs like a top.
Sui778
I think that Taurus looks amazing. It reminds me of my Ruger Security 9mm a little bit. I think that Taurus looks better than my Ruger actually..
i love the Taurus i want your opinion on the Taurus 24/7 g2
Taurus g2c
Taurus th9
Taurus th9c i want to know is that bigger than the g2c?
I don't have an opinion on the 24/7 - I've never shot or held one. As far as the size comparison goes - the 24/7 G2, TH9 and TH9C are all larger pistols than the G2C.
@@Sui778 wow the th9c is bigger than g2c i didn't know that but should i buy the Taurus th9 and the th9c?
@@cnottagejr Yep TH9C is about 3/5 of an inch longer than the G2C. As far as whether you should buy them or not, I would go look at them and shoot them if you can before you buy if at all possible.
@@Sui778 I love how the Taurus th9 feels in my hand and I wanted to shoot it but they didn't have the gun to rent to shoot. But I'm going back to see if they have it to rent now. The Taurus is a good brand and I want to purchase one
@@chiefbubba2581 Kinda hard to go wrong with it, but make sure you're ok with the way the gun breaks way in the back on the trigger.
Isn't there a loaded chamber indicator on that slide?
Yes, there is a loaded chamber indicator right above the extractor on the right hand side of the slide. I showed this in the original review of this pistol.
@@Sui778 Why do you think they dropped the Ambi controls on the Compact version?
@@tkarlmann I don't really know. My guess is they were trying to streamline it more for carry in any way possible.
@@Sui778 Do you think that the TH9 is CC-able? I have an FNH FNX-9 -- which has very equivalent ambi controls, also hammer-fired very similarly-sized , but the FNX-9 weight is 21.9oz -- 6.3oz lighter than TH9. However, the FNX9 costs about 2x the price of the TH9. Thoughts?
@@tkarlmann Considering the dimensions of the FNX, the TH9 would be a larger conceal - it is 0.32 inches longer and a half-inch taller. Not quite as thick though - about 1/4 of an inch thinner. I personally don't carry guns this size - I go for smaller - say PT-111 G2 or smaller.
he is right snart man
Sig 20 round mag 🤠
This or SD9VE???!!! Which one ??!!!
Me personally, I'd take the TH9... more controls, better grip, and a bit heavier. I personally didn't like the way the SD9VE felt in my hand as much either. Not to say it's a bad gun, I just like the TH better overall.
TH9...i love hammer fired
I have both and they are both great pistols, But I prefer guns with a hammer, or single double action guns
Had girding pin replaced. Less than 1000 rounds. 69$$.🥴
Whats the girding pin?
Firing pin I guess 😅
Anybody able to find a holster for their TH?
Holster for the 809 fits great. Got one from Amazon.
No magazines available… 3 years later!!!!! No response on the matter from Taurus
You don't need More than 2 magazines, that would kill a gang of Thurs,and 2 , 400 lb, BEARS !
All you would do to a 400 pound bear with a 9mm is piss it off.
How was accuracy?
Accuracy is fine. I wouldn't call it a competition pistol but for everyday use it's plenty accurate.
What about accuracy?
It's not a competition pistol by any means but the accuracy is reasonable.
Accuracy is heavily based on the shooter...
my slide will not go back on ☹☹☹
Is the hammer cocked? If it isn't, cock it all the way to the rear and then try putting your slide back on.
Excelente PT

Orlando ffl......$259.00. 😲😲
Amigo... Th9c or g2c??????
Both are good. G2C is a little smaller for carry, and a little lighter.
G2c trigger is fantastic in my opinion, go handle one, EVEN da is light to me, BUT I just did a few engine swaps over the past few months so.... no soft hands here
