The TH9 Compact is Taurus's hammer-fired, DA/SA 9mm, which sets it apart in a market saturated with striker-fired guns. That double-action first shot with a manual decocker and safety appeals to shooters trained on traditional service pistols, and the single-action follow-ups are noticeably crisper than most striker triggers in the class. With a 3.5-inch barrel it sits in the sweet spot for concealed carry that is still comfortable to shoot at the range. It ships with adjustable sights and two magazines, which is more than many competitors include at this level.
