TAURUS PT809 9MM LUGER (9x19 PARA)
Description: Guns Listing ID: 580509 Overview The Taurus PT 809 is a compact, polymer-framed semi-automatic pistol designed for concealed carry, personal defense, and plain-clothes duty use. Built with affordability and practical reliability in mind, the PT 809 focuses on ergonomics, ease of use, and straightforward maintenance. It appeals to shooters who want a compact, modern handgun from Taurus with features that favor everyday carry and close-quarters defensive work. Caliber & Action Caliber: Most commonly chambered in 9×19mm (9mm Luger); other chamberings may exist depending on the market and variant. Action: Modern compact designs from Taurus typically use striker-fired or DAO/DA trigger systems; the PT 809 is presented and used like a modern short-stroke striker or double-action pistol with a consistent pull appropriate for carry. Construction & Materials Frame: Lightweight polymer frame with integrated textured grip surfaces to improve purchase during carry and rapid fire. Slide: Steel slide (often finished with a corrosion-resistant coating or black nitride finish on duty/consumer models). Barrel: Forged or cold-hammer-forged steel barrel sized for compact class — durable and accurate for defensive ranges. Ergonomics & Controls Grip: Compact profile with molded finger grooves or a lightly contoured surface; may include an interchangeable backstrap or be offered in a single fixed profile depending on production run. Controls: Ambidextrous or reversible magazine release on many Taurus compact designs; slide stop/release located for easy reach by the firing thumb. Some models include an external manual safety or frame-mounted safety; others rely on internal passive safeties. Low bore axis: Designed to reduce muzzle flip and speed up follow-up shots compared with higher-axis designs. Sights & Accessory Options Sights: Typically shipped with fixed three-dot sights; night-sight options (tritium) may have been available as an upgrade or factory option. Accessory Rail: Many compact Taurus pistols include a short MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) or proprietary rail on the dust-cover for lights/lasers. Aftermarket: Wide aftermarket support for holsters, sights, and magazines. Magazine & Capacity Capacity: Compact models in this class commonly hold 8–15 rounds depending on magazine style (flush vs extended) and caliber. Exact capacity for the PT 809 depends on its production variant and the magazine supplied. Magazine Release: Standard push-button release; reversible in some models for left-hand shooters. Safety Features Taurus typically equips its pistols with a combination of passive and active safety systems depending on model: Trigger safety or integrated trigger block to reduce negligent discharges. Internal firing pin/striker block to prevent discharge if dropped. Optional manual safety on some variants (frame-mounted thumb safety). Loaded chamber indicator may be present depending on production year. Performance & Handling Recoil: As a compact 9mm platform, recoil is manageable; the polymer frame and grip geometry help control muzzle rise. Reliability: Taurus pistols are engineered for everyday carry reliability; users report good function with standard defensive ammunition when properly maintained. Accuracy: Sufficient for defensive ranges (3–50 yards). The short compact barrel favors quick target acquisition over long-range precision.
