Tisas PX-9 2.0 Duty Raptor Comp 9MM Accessory Compatibility & Recommendation Guide
Product Compatibility Overview
The Tisas PX-9 2.0 Duty Raptor Comp 9MM is a modern, striker-fired 9mm pistol designed for duty and defensive use. It features a polymer frame, aggressive slide serrations, and a compensator for reduced muzzle rise. The pistol includes a Picatinny accessory rail (MIL-STD-1913) for mounting lights and lasers, and is compatible with Glock-pattern sights, making it versatile for aftermarket upgrades.
Essential Accessories
- Weapon Light: A compact, rail-mounted light such as the Streamlight TLR-7A ensures positive target identification in low light. Its size matches the PX-9’s rail and does not extend past the compensator.
- Spare Magazines: OEM or Mec-Gar magazines for reliability. Carrying at least two spares is recommended for duty or defensive use.
- Magazine Loader: The Maglula UpLULA loader speeds up reloading and reduces thumb fatigue.
- Safety Accessories: Chamber flags and trigger locks for safe storage and transport.
Optics and Sighting Systems
- Iron Sights: The PX-9 uses Glock-compatible dovetail sights. Recommended upgrades include:
- Trijicon HD XR Night Sights for enhanced low-light aiming.
- AmeriGlo Spartan Operator sights for a high-visibility front post.
- Red Dot Optics: If your model is optics-ready, consider:
- Holosun 507C X2 for rugged reliability and long battery life.
- Trijicon RMR Type 2 for professional-grade durability.
- Confirm mounting plate compatibility before purchase.
Tactical Enhancements
- Rail Attachments:
- SureFire X300U for maximum illumination and robust build (larger, best for duty holsters).
