About this product
The Zigana PX-9 is a full-size 9mm pistol made by Turkish manufacturer Tisas, sold as a complete package with two 15-round magazines, a holster, and a spare set of grip inserts. It runs on a black synthetic frame with a manual thumb safety, which sets it apart from most striker-fired polymer 9mms that skip the external safety entirely. Buyers usually land on this listing while comparing budget-friendly full-size 9mm range guns.
What is it used for?
It's a range and training pistol first, with enough features — fixed sights, a manual safety, a full-size grip — to double as a home-defense or budget carry gun. The 4-inch barrel and 7.20-inch overall length put it in the same size class as other full-size duty-style 9mms.
How does it compare to a Glock 19-style pistol?
It's a similar size class but adds a manual thumb safety and adjustable grip inserts that Glock doesn't offer on the 19. The tradeoff is fit and finish: the PX-9 undercuts Glock significantly on price, and it shows in the trigger feel and overall polish rather than in basic reliability.
What's included and what fits it?
- Two 15-round magazines
- Adjustable grip inserts
- Cleaning brush
- Holster
- Magazine loader and owner's manual
Magazines are proprietary to the Zigana PX-9 platform — they aren't Glock-pattern or interchangeable with other brands.
Who is this not for?
Skip it if you expect full 15-round capacity in California, since state law caps magazines at 10 rounds. It's also not the pick for shooters who dislike a manual safety on a carry gun, or for anyone assuming this exact model is already confirmed on California's handgun roster without checking first.
Is it worth $187?
Yes, for what it includes — steel sights, a manual safety, and a full accessory kit rarely come bundled together under $200. The tradeoff is a value-tier trigger and finish compared to a Glock or Sig at two to three times the price.
Does it work in California?
California law only allows sale of magazines holding 10 rounds or fewer, so CA-bound PX-9 packages ship with 10-round magazines instead of the two 15-rounders in the standard box. You'll also need to confirm this pistol is currently listed on California's handgun roster before a dealer can deliver it new; if it isn't rostered, ask about the Dan Wesson DWX Compact as another 9mm option to check.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the PX-9 use Glock-pattern magazines?
- No, Tisas magazines are proprietary to the Zigana PX-9 platform and aren't interchangeable with Glock or other brands.
- Is the manual safety ambidextrous?
- The listing doesn't specify. Confirm with the dealer before ordering if left-hand operation matters to you.
- What kind of holster is included?
- A holster ships in the box, but the listing doesn't specify material or carry style, so ask the dealer for details before assuming a specific type.
- Can I add night sights?
- Factory sights are fixed steel per the spec sheet. Adding night sights would require aftermarket parts and likely a gunsmith fitting.
- Does it ship with California-legal magazines?
- Yes. California orders receive 10-round magazines in place of the standard two 15-rounders.
