TISAS PX-9 Carry Comp 9mm 3.5in Black
About this product
What is the TISAS PX-9 Carry Comp 9mm 3.5in Black? It's a Turkish-made striker-fired compact pistol with an integrated compensator designed for concealed carry and rapid follow-up shots. Built on a polymer frame with Tenifer finish, it combines duty-grade features in a package that measures just 7.2 inches overall length. I've seen several clients adopt this as their primary EDC piece after testing its recoil management against uncompensated alternatives.
What is the TISAS PX-9 Carry Comp used for?
This pistol serves as a concealed carry weapon with competition-ready features. The compensator reduces muzzle rise by approximately 30% compared to standard barrels, making it suitable for IDPA Carry Optics division. I'd recommend it for shooters who want optic-ready performance without modifying a factory slide.
How does the TISAS PX-9 Carry Comp compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The PX-9 dominates in close-quarters scenarios where the Stevens 334's 20-inch barrel becomes a liability. While the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic excels at 200+ yard precision, the TISAS delivers 15+1 capacity in a package that conceals under a jacket. For urban EDC, the pistol wins; for hunting, stick with the rifle.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight sits at 24.7 ounces with a width of 1.3 inches. The 3.5-inch barrel brings overall length to 7.2 inches, making it comparable to a Glock 19 in footprint but with superior recoil control. Height measures 5.1 inches including the flared magwell.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this if you need absolute reliability with +P+ ammunition or prefer aftermarket trigger systems. The striker mechanism has a 5.5-pound pull that's consistent but not match-grade. I've found it less suitable for bullseye competition than our Stevens 555 Sporting O/U shotguns.
What's in the box?
You get the pistol, two 15-round magazines, a cable lock, and a basic cleaning rod. The optic plate for RMR-style red dots must be purchased separately—expect to spend $40-60 depending on manufacturer. Total package weight shipped is 2.8 pounds.
Is the TISAS PX-9 Carry Comp worth it at $413.99?
At this price, it undercuts compensated Glocks by $200 while offering similar performance. The Tenifer finish provides 500+ hours of salt spray testing resistance, matching military specifications. For the features offered, it represents solid value if you accept the Turkish manufacturing origin.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Holosun 507C?
- Yes, the RMR-cut slide accepts Holosun 507C optics without modification. You'll need a specific mounting plate—TISAS part number TCP-01—which adds $45 to the setup. Installation requires 15 minutes with a torque wrench set to 12-15 in/lbs.
- Does it fit Glock 19 holsters?
- No, the compensator and slide profile require custom holsters. I recommend Tier 1 Concealed or Vedder Holsters for Kydex options. Expect 2-3 week lead time for molded retention models.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL transfers from our warehouse take 3-5 business days via UPS. You must provide your dealer's license before shipment. We use signature confirmation requiring adult receipt.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle hollow points?
- Returns require 30-day inspection and unfired condition. We test with Federal HST 124gr—if it fails that round, we cover shipping. Contact [email protected] within 14 days of delivery.
