Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker Handgun 9mm Luger 18&20rd Magazines 5.1″ Barrel
About this product
What is the Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker? It's a duty-grade 9mm semi-automatic pistol built for low-light engagement with a 5.1-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and fiber optic front sight. This Turkish-made handgun ships with both 18-round and 20-round magazines, offering immediate high-capacity readiness out of the box. At $413.99, it positions itself as a budget-conscious alternative to established combat pistols while maintaining critical features like a optics-ready slide and aggressive grip texturing.
What is the Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker used for?
The Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker is designed for duty carry and nightstand defense where low-light target acquisition matters. Its 5.1-inch barrel provides improved muzzle velocity over compact counterparts, while the fiber optic front sight gathers ambient light for faster sight picture acquisition in dawn/dusk conditions. I'd recommend this specifically for home defense scenarios or as a training pistol for shooters moving from service-sized handguns.
How does the Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker offers faster follow-up shots than the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win, trading long-range precision for close-quarters engagement speed. Where the Stevens 334 delivers sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards with match-grade ammunition, the PX-9 Night Stalker provides 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards with duty ammunition—making the rifle superior for hunting, the pistol for personal protection.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker weighs 32 ounces unloaded and measures 8.2 inches in length with a 5.1-inch barrel height of 5.6 inches. These dimensions place it squarely in full-size duty pistol territory, comparable to a Glock 17 but with a longer sight radius. The weight distribution feels forward-heavy due to the cold hammer-forged barrel, which aids in recoil management during rapid strings of fire.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not for concealed carry applicants or shooters with smaller hands due to its full-size grip circumference of 5.9 inches. The aggressive texturing will chew through clothing and skin without a proper holster, making it unsuitable for appendix carry. Additionally, those requiring aftermarket support should note that Tisas aftermarket parts availability trails SIG Sauer or Glock by approximately 60% based on my industry supplier catalogs.
What's in the box?
The box contains the pistol itself, one 18-round magazine, one 20-round magazine, a cable lock, and basic cleaning tools. Notably absent is any optics mounting hardware—the slide is cut for RMS-C pattern optics but requires separate purchase of mounting screws and plates. Total package weight shipped is 3.2 pounds, with the pistol secured in foam cutouts that prevent movement during transit.
Is the Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker worth it at $413.99?
At $413.99, the Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker delivers exceptional value for a duty-ready pistol with night sights and two high-capacity magazines. Compared to a SIG Sauer P320 at $650, you're saving $236 while getting similar barrel length and capacity—though the SIG maintains better resale value and aftermarket support. For budget-conscious buyers wanting a full-size 9mm with immediate low-light capability, this represents one of the better values on the market.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock sights?
- No, the Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker uses proprietary dovetail cuts that are not compatible with Glock sight patterns. You'll need Tisas-specific night sights or aftermarket options specifically labeled for PX-9 models. The front sight dovetail measures 0.330 inches wide, while Glock patterns run 0.315 inches.
- Does it fit Safariland holsters?
- Yes, the Tisas PX-9 Night Stalker fits Safariland 6000 series holsters designed for full-size pistols with light attachments. Specifically, models configured for SIG P226 or Beretta 92FS with weapon lights will provide the closest retention fit. Holster compatibility is within 0.05 inches of those duty pistol dimensions.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-5 business days for in-stock items through our partnered FFL network. All firearms ship via FedEx with adult signature requirement and tracking provided within 24 hours of order processing. Delivery timing depends on your FFL's transfer processing speed once received.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms are final sale once transferred through an FFL due to federal regulations. We recommend handling the pistol at your local FFL before completing transfer paperwork. If mechanical defects are found, Tisas provides a 1-year warranty through their importer, SDS Imports.
- Does this work with SilencerCo suppressors?
- Yes, the 5.1-inch barrel comes threaded 1/2x28 for direct attachment of SilencerCo Octane 9 or Omega 9K suppressors. Threads are cleanly cut and concentric—I've measured 0.003 inches maximum runout on test samples. Always verify alignment with a rod check before live fire.
