Key Features
- 4.5-Inch Barrel: Longer sight radius means better accuracy at defensive distances — critical for apartment hallways or home defense scenarios.
- 17+1 Round Capacity: Two 17-round mags give you 35 rounds total out of the box, so you spend less time reloading and more time on target.
- All-Black Finish: Low-visibility, corrosion-resistant coating that won’t flash under a nightstand light or during low-light drills.
- Full-Size Grip Frame: Fits larger hands comfortably and reduces felt recoil, making follow-up shots faster — a must for urban defensive use.
- Striker-Fired Action: Consistent trigger pull every time, with no hammer to snag on clothing during a quick draw from a holster.
Who It’s For
This pistol is for the city shooter who wants a full-size 9mm for home defense or range work but doesn’t want to drop a grand on a name brand. If you live in an apartment, train regularly, and value capacity and reliability over flashy aftermarket parts, the TAU 1-TX9F441 fits your budget and your needs.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Affordable price point, high 17-round capacity, solid all-black finish, reliable striker-fired system, full-size grip for recoil control.
- Cons: Trigger has some take-up and a slightly heavier pull than premium options — expect around 6-7 lbs out of the box (per TAU specs). Aftermarket support is limited compared to Glock or S&W.
Comparison
| Feature | TAU 1-TX9F441 | Glock 17 Gen5 | S&W M&P 2.0 Full |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barrel Length | 4.5″ | 4.49″ | 4.25″ |
| Capacity | 17+1 | 17+1 | 17+1 |
| Weight (unloaded) | 26 oz | 25.06 oz | 24.7 oz |
| Price | $408.39 | $550-$600 | $480-$530 |
| Trigger Pull | 6-7 lbs | 5.5 lbs | 6 lbs |
The TAU undercuts both Glock and S&W on price while matching capacity and barrel length. You lose some trigger refinement and aftermarket parts support, but for the price, it’s a solid entry-level full-size 9mm.
FAQ
What magazines does the TAU 1-TX9F441 use?
It uses standard 9mm 17-round double-stack magazines. Two are included with the pistol. Per TAU specs, they are proprietary but similar in design to common high-capacity 9mm mags.
Is this handgun good for concealed carry?
It’s a full-size frame with a 4.5-inch barrel, so it’s better for home defense or range use than daily CCW. If you’re carrying under a jacket or in a shoulder holster, it works, but for appendix or IWB, look at compact models.
Does it come with a manual safety?
No, this model does not include a manual safety. It relies on a striker-fired trigger safety and a drop safety per TAU specs.
