From a styling perspective, Taurus guns have family resemblances the way certain Bavarian cars do. You don’t have to look at them long to recognize the Taurus family DNA.

Currently the full-size TH9 has six color choices and thus six models. All have a matte black slide. The frame colors are: gray, olive drab, cyan, burgundy, matte black and tan.

Let’s cover some key metrics. Literally central to the gun is its 4.27” long barrel. Wrapped around that are the slide and frame and other bits that give it a 5.98” height, 1.30” width and 7.72” overall length. Weight is 28.2 ounces. The gun has a 17-round capacity thanks to its double-stack magazines.

TH9s have angled 3-dot sights dovetailed into the slide. The rear sight is a beautifully ramped Novak drift adjustable type. The slide lacks grip serrations in front, but it has nice rounded-bottom ones in back.

Under the recoil spring housing is a two-slot MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny accessory rail to mount lasers, etc.

The frame has some nice finger recesses on each side. One is above the front of the trigger guard. Taurus calls this one the Taurus Memory Pad for improved intuitive hand placement and reassurance that’s key under pressure. Another recess is atop each side of the grip. The grip mixes smooth surfaces with aggressive textured patches. It’s a good look, and it functions well providing the right grip when you need it. The TH9 grip also has big patch textured grip panels and four front finger grooves.

The TH9 revels in safety features. There is a visual loaded chamber indicator, thumb safety and a firing pin block safety. The full-size 17+1 Taurus TH9 semi-automatics are Made in Brazil and imported into the US by Taurus USA of Bainbridge, Georgia.
