World Champion Jessie Harrison discusses the new-for-2026 Taurus TX9 9mm striker-fired pistol, and its place as the brand's flagship model moving forward. Borrowing some feature and handling qualities of the 2019 Guns & Ammo Handgun of the Year — Taurus TX22 — the TX9 exhibits the same reliability and accuracy that has made the GX4 9mm pistol so popular with concealed carry users. The TX9 was released at the 2026 SHOT Show and reviewed in Guns & Ammo's February 2026 issue by Handgun Editor James Tarr. All three introductory models were profiled in the article, including the full-size TX9 F, compact TX9 C, and subcompact TX9 SC. In addition to behind-the-scenes manufacturing and testing insights from Harrison and Tarr, Editor-in-Chief Eric Poole and Tarr inquire about her pro-shooting career and share techniques that helped make her a top shot across several competition circuits including SASS, IPSC, Steel Challenge and USPSA.
