The Taurus TX Compact brings a modern striker-fired 9mm to the popular compact footprint, wearing a flat dark earth frame and a 4-inch barrel that balances concealability with a full firing grip and usable sight radius. The slide is optics-ready, so you can mount a red dot and take advantage of the fastest-growing trend in defensive pistols, and the 15-round capacity puts it squarely in fighting-pistol territory. Taurus has sharpened its game considerably in recent years, delivering feature-rich pistols at prices that leave room in the budget for ammo and training.
