The PT 809 C pairs a compact footprint with a 3.25 in barrel and a 5.0 in sight radius for a carry-friendly, sight-focused setup. Overall length is 6.7 in, height is 5.17 in, grip width is 1.14 in, and unloaded weight is approximately 25 oz.
Its semi-automatic, recoil-operated DA/SA action uses an external spurred hammer and includes an ambidextrous manual safety/decocker. A firing pin block, loaded chamber indicator, and the Taurus Security System (key lock) round out the safety suite.
The polymer frame and blued/black slide feature rear slide serrations for positive manipulation. Fixed 3-dot sights are dovetailed front and rear with a low-profile rear. A Picatinny/MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail with two cross-slots supports common weapon-mounted lights or lasers.
Magazine interoperability is a strong point: the pistol runs compact 13-round magazines and full-size 17-round magazines. Markings include "PT 809 C CAL. 9mm" with the Taurus logo on the slide and "TAURUS INT. MFG. - MIAMI, FL - USA." This example is identified by mfg part number 1-809041C.
