Now that’s what we call instant gratification! Tisas USA has just unveiled PX-9 2.0 Duty Comp handgun, and with an MSRP of $522, chances are you’ll find it at gun stores for under five bills. As its name suggests, the PX-9 2.0 is the next generation of Tisas’ wildly popular PX-9 line. “We wanted to take it to another level,” explained the CEO of TISAS. ““From shooting it on the competition line, or carrying it when on duty, this firearm is remarkable.”
The PX-9 2.0 Duty Comp is chambered in 9mm and works with proven 18- or 20-round, P226-pattern magazines. Naturally, it also incorporates the newest GEN3 NATO-spec upgrades for unmatched durability. An aluminum, flat-faced tactical trigger offers a 4-lb. trigger-pull weight and a positive reset for enhanced control. Like all PX-9 models, it features 27 grip configurations for a tailored fit and unbeatable ergonomics. A single-port, compensated slide and barrel reduces muzzle rise while delivering a flatter shooting experience.
As for optics, the slide has an RMR-pattern optic cut that allows for direct-mount red dots with co-witness capability, making the 2.0 Comp equally effective on the competition line or in duty use. For enhanced reliability, the gun has NATO-spec nickel-coated internal components for corrosion resistance, as well as a QPQ finish on the barrel and slide for superior wear protection.
At an overall length of 7.27″, a height of 5.76″, and an unloaded weight of 1.75 lbs., the size of this pistol puts it more into the “duty” category, but it’s certainly still concealable with the right holster rig … and the gun does come from the factory with one! Included in your Tisas package is: Hard Case, IWB Holster, (2) Magazines, Grip Panel Kit, Allen Wrench/Punch, Cleaning Kit, and Owner’s Manual. For more info, visit TisasUSA.com.
