Tisas, a manufacturer based in Turkey but imported and represented in the United States by SDS Imports, has unveiled its latest addition to the PX-9 series: the PX-9 Carry. Designed with concealment and everyday carry in mind, this semi-automatic pistol combines compactness with firepower, making it a formidable choice for both seasoned shooters and those new to the world of handguns.
I must admit, for the price point of this firearm, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised when I first opened the box from my FFL. The PX9 Carry felt great in my hand. It was well-balanced and came with a ton of extras in the package.

Compact yet Powerful
The PX-9 Carry inherits the best features of its full-size counterpart, the PX-9 Duty, and packages them into a more compact form. With a barrel length of 3.5 inches and a polymer frame, this handgun is designed to be easily concealable without sacrificing performance. Its sleek black finish adds a touch of elegance while maintaining a low profile.
Equipped with a set of Glock® pattern sights, featuring a serrated rear and a fiber optic front sight, the PX-9 Carry ensures rapid target acquisition in various lighting conditions. Moreover, the pistol comes factory-cut for direct mounting of RMR™ footprint optics, enabling shooters to achieve a 1/3 co-witness with standard height sights, further enhancing accuracy and precision.
The 15 plus 1 round magazine capacity insures a lot of firepower for a small compact carry pistol
Despite its compact size, the PX-9 Carry seems to prioritize ergonomics with interchangeable grip panels and back-straps. The subtle rubber over-molding on these components provides a secure and comfortable grip, allowing shooters to customize the pistol to their preferences for optimal handling and control.
All these features are typically found on firearms that are over the $500 price point…not one you can get for $299.
The Best Part
The PX-9 Carry has one of the best triggers I have experienced from an out-of-the-box gun. The trigger has a flat-faced design like match triggers, while its bladed safety lies flat and compact, preserving the smooth feel of the trigger pull. The trigger’s weight is approximately 4 pounds with a crisp break. Resetting the trigger requires only a slight release, and you are ready for the next round. To me this trigger is amazing, and it will sure to be one you will love.
The PX9 Carry should be a top consideration for your next carry handgun. It’s not only budget friendly, it out performs firearms that are more than double it’s price point.
During range fire, I tested the PX9 Carry with standard Blazer Ball Head 115 Grain ammo. Shooting 100 rounds through the handgun proved to be a joy to shoot and landed me all 100 rounds in center mass at 10 yards. For a compact pistol the PX9 Carry offers solid performance and from my testing a very reliable weapon for a low price point.
