Adding that much effort to make a $400 pistol flawless is totally acceptable in my book.<\/p>\n<p>Where else can you get a 5-inch+ threaded barrel, optics-ready pistol that shoots as nicely at a price even close to that? The Tisas USA PX-9 Gen 3 is one heck of a value. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we see prices rise as popularity grows.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there is still the xenophobic angle that can be used to criticize this pistol and you\u2019re welcome to leave such comments, but only if you can do it using a device that\u2019s entirely made in the USA. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Specifications: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tt=cl&amp;merchant_id=7486894c-de29-4e50-8d4e-87ffc84a0095&amp;website_id=4e8a62e5-c9f2-4169-947d-06856fc118da&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.guns.com%2Ffirearms%2Fhandguns%2Fsemi-auto%2Fsds-imports-px-9-tactical-gen-3-9-mm-luger-striker-fired-20-1-rounds-5-1-barrel-new%3Fp%3D462238\">Tisas PX-9 GEN3 Tactical Threaded Pistol<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Caliber: 9mm Luger<br \/>Action: Striker-fired<br \/>Frame: Polymer w\/ Integrated M1913 Rail<br \/>Barrel: 5.1\u2033 Hammer Forged, Threaded 1\/2\u2033x28 TPI<br \/>Slide: RMR Optic Cut<br \/>Capacity: 18+1 (ships with 18-round and 20-round magazines<br \/>Sights: Fixed Rear w\/ Fiber Optic Front (Glock 9\/40Cut)<br \/>MSRP: $579.95 (about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tt=cl&amp;merchant_id=7486894c-de29-4e50-8d4e-87ffc84a0095&amp;website_id=4e8a62e5-c9f2-4169-947d-06856fc118da&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.guns.com%2Ffirearms%2Fhandguns%2Fsemi-auto%2Fsds-imports-px-9-tactical-gen-3-9-mm-luger-striker-fired-20-1-rounds-5-1-barrel-new%3Fp%3D462238\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$400 retail<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ratings (out of five stars):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Reliability * * * * *<\/strong><br \/>Zero issues experienced with any of the twelve loads tested. The two included MecGar magazines were easy to load and performed flawlessly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ergonomics * * * * *<\/strong><br \/>With 27 different possible grip configurations, the PX-9 Gen 3 will fit most any hand. Grip texture is mild at best, but with a full-length stock the user gets to use their whole hand to grip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accuracy * * * * *<\/strong><br \/>The long sight radius makes shooting accurately easy. I have no doubt mechanical accuracy exceeds the capability of most shooters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concealability * * *\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>This is a large pistol to carry. I\u2019m sure the \u201cI carry a GLOCK 34 under a T-shirt\u201d crowd will disagree, but concealment was likely not the goal of Tisas in making this gun. It\u2019s better suited as a duty\/range\/home defense pistol.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall: * * * * 1\/2<\/strong><br \/>Tisas USA is once again offering a lot of gun for the money. The PX-9 Gen 3 Tactical Threaded Pistol is comfortable to shoot, accurate, eats anything you feed it, and easy to master. Unless you\u2019re looking for a pocket gun, this pistol is a very wise buy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-next-post-navi\">\n<p>\nNext Post Coming Soon&#8230;\u25b6\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/gun-review-tisas-usa-px-9-gen-3-tactical-threaded-pistol\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next Post Coming Soon&#8230;\u25b6 At the beginning of 2022 we had an opportunity to check out Tisas USA\u2019s 3rd generation of the PX-9 pistol.
