The TARA TM-9 semi-automatic service pistol combines the latest developments and features of cutting edge firearm technology not only with regards to quality standards, precision and durability but also considering the strictest safety requirements. The extremely hard and anticorrosive slide can be disconnected from the Polymer Lower Receiver without the need to pull the trigger. This can be considered an additional passive safety just like the pistols ability to allow consecutive striker actions (real double action) without the need to rack the slide. State-of-the-art characteristics like anti-corrosive surface protection, high capacity double stack magazines and piccatinny rails to mount tactical lights are the answer to the requirements of modern forces. In addition the TM-9 features an ambidextrous magazine release button and a special lanyard connection point to cover all possible scenarios. The DARE-Trigger system allows for fast and simple training of new users and for a smooth transition for those who come from old conventional systems, in order to reach maximum safety and effectivity with minimum effort and costs.
