The Taurus 917C delivers striker-fired reliability in a full-size platform engineered for serious shooters. This 9mm Luger pistol combines aluminum frame construction with steel slide durability for optimal weight distribution and enhanced control. The 18+1 capacity provides substantial firepower while maintaining manageable dimensions for duty and competition use.
What Makes This Different
The 917C stands apart from standard polymer-framed pistols through its black anodized aluminum frame construction, which offers superior heat dissipation and dimensional stability under rapid fire. The integrated beavertail design provides enhanced grip security and reduces felt recoil compared to traditional grip configurations. The factory-installed Picatinny rail accommodates tactical lights and laser accessories without requiring aftermarket modifications.
