TriStar Protege X Sub-Compact 9mm | 3.2″ | 85714

The TriStar Protege X Sub-Compact is a compact, single-action semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm that pairs an OD Green frame with a black slide for a discreet, utilitarian finish. Its short 3.2-inch barrel and compact overall length make it suited to concealed carry and everyday transport, while fixed sights and a slim profile aid practical use on the range. For a red-dot optic under $1,000 that fits sub-compact slides, consider a compact footprint dot such as the Holosun 507K for quick target acquisition without exceeding the budget.

Applications for this pistol include concealed carry and routine range training or practice; it is designed for users seeking a compact, mechanically straightforward platform for everyday carry and familiarization drills.
