[FIREARM REVIEW] Taurus PT 809 9mm

By TheFireArmGuy

Many people are looking for quality made handguns with a budget mindset. I am often asked, “what is the best handgun for the least amount of money?” I am not prepared to say the Taurus PT 809 is the best budget handgun available however for an average price of $225, it is worthy of consideration. The Taurus PT 809 has several features that are often not available on other handguns in that price range. A 17 round magazine, 1913 forend rail, novak sights, double/single trigger, ambi controls with a full size grip are just a few worth mentioning. Many Taurus fans consider the PT 809 the “gold standard” among the Taurus line of handguns given features offered for the cheap price. In this review, I will give my thoughts about what I found “good” and “not so good” with this handgun.
