Taurus Th9c 3.54" 17-Round Pistol

The Taurus TH9C 9mm 3.54" 17-round Black is a compact double-action/single-action semi-automatic pistol built on a modern polymer platform that blends hammer-fired reliability with user-adjustable ergonomics. Chambered in 9mm Luger, the TH9C delivers the ballistic efficiency and reduced recoil impulse that 9mm ammunition is known for, while maintaining a compact footprint suited to concealed carry and duty applications where frame size matters.

The 3.54-inch barrel strikes a practical balance—long enough to generate reliable velocity from modern 9mm defensive loads, short enough to keep overall length manageable for holster compatibility and weapon retention. A 17-round magazine capacity provides substantial on-board ammunition reserves for threat response without requiring intermediate reloads. The pistol features adjustable sights for precision at distance and a textured grip with finger grooves and stippling panels that enhance control under stress. The DA/SA trigger system allows shooters to carry with the hammer down and fire the first round in double-action mode, then transition to single-action for subsequent shots—a proven platform favored by law enforcement agencies and serious civilians who prioritize safety and predictability.

This compact variant addresses operators, beat officers, and armed professionals who need a duty-grade firearm in a size that doesn't compromise capacity or ergonomics. The polymer construction keeps weight low (3.69 lbs) for extended carry comfort, while the adjustable sights accommodate individual eyesight and shooting preference. Taurus's TH series represents a contemporary take on the classic hammer-fired platform—combining modern materials and manufacturing with trigger systems that reward good fundamentals and trigger discipline.
