In 2025, you can’t sling a dead cat without hitting a 9mm striker-fired pistol. Hell, the cat may even be a striker-fired pistol (see what I did there? You’re welcome, Springfield). There are literally hundreds if not thousands of different models and sizes to fit every shooter. Some are brand new designs with familiar features while others continue to improve their flagship models. Turkish manufacturer Tisaş along with Knoxville, Tennessee’s SDS Arms is doing just that with their popular PX-9 series. The 2.0 Duty Comp is the latest iteration with modifications such as a ported slide, improved trigger, and more. The very reasonable MSRP price of $522.99 makes this one of the most underrated pistols of 2025.
