The video opens on the range at Take Aim Training with live fire from the Zigana PX-9 9mm pistol. The host notes a pleasant trigger and overall positive first impressions of how the pistol feels. The PX-9 visually resembles a Springfield XD, which is acknowledged directly, but the pistol differs in several key ways. It omits the XD-style grip safety, which the host does not miss, and instead uses a more typical modern polymer-frame trigger design. The gun is described as an affordable, double-stack striker-fired pistol that ships with two 15-round magazines and a holster. It is noted as a Turkish-made pistol that has been in the U.S. market since around 2017–2018, positioned as a budget-friendly option for those seeking a first handgun or an additional 9mm pistol.
The Zigana PX-9 includes an ambidextrous, frame-mounted manual safety. Engaging it deactivates the slide and prevents the trigger from functioning. The pistol also features a striker status indicator at the rear, showing when the striker is in the ready position. A loaded chamber indicator on the slide protrudes slightly and shows red when a round is chambered, though it is subtle and not highly pronounced. The PX-9 uses a hammer-forged barrel approximately four and a half inches in length. A Picatinny rail is integrated into the dust cover, allowing attachment of lights, lasers, or light/laser combinations, which is highlighted as useful for a nightstand or low-light defensive setup. The pistol is presented as a straightforward, striker-fired 9mm with practical safety and readiness indicators.
Ergonomics receive significant attention. The PX-9 ships with interchangeable backstraps, and the installed mid-size backstrap is described as providing a comfortable palm swell and secure grip. The texture and grooves on the grip frame aid in maintaining control. The trigger lacks a blade or split safety in the shoe, differentiating it from many other polymer pistols. Its pull has some initial take-up and a bit of “squish” before breaking near the rear of the travel. The reset is somewhat long but still acceptable for a carry-oriented pistol, with an estimated pull weight around five to five and a half pounds. The slide includes both front and rear serrations, which the host appreciates for performing press checks. The loaded chamber indicator is again noted as subtle, so a manual check is still preferred. Overall, the pistol’s controls and trigger are characterized as serviceable and appropriate for its price range.
During extended shooting, the Zigana PX-9 is described as a “cool shooting little gun” that functions reliably. The pistol’s weight, around 1.8 pounds, helps manage recoil without making it feel too heavy for potential everyday carry. The balance is said to contribute to comfortable shooting, and the sights are easy to pick up. The front sight uses a tritium insert or luminescent element for low-light visibility, paired with a standard adjustable rear sight. The host compares the PX-9’s ergonomics to a personal Glock carry pistol, noting a tendency to ride the slide release on some guns. On the PX-9, the frame-mounted safety provides a natural thumb rest, helping avoid inadvertently holding down the slide release and allowing consistent last-round slide lock. The pistol continues to run well through multiple magazines, reinforcing the impression of solid performance for an affordable 9mm platform.
The Zigana PX-9 package includes more than just the pistol and two 15-round magazines. It ships in a hard case and comes with a paddle-style holster, a cleaning brush, a speedloader, and interchangeable backstraps. The holster is described as better than nothing and useful while waiting for a custom Kydex option. It uses a single Phillips-head screw and a toothed interface to adjust cant, allowing the user to set the draw angle. Retention is provided by a locking mechanism released via a button positioned for the middle finger, differing from some Safariland-style thumb releases. The included speedloader is acknowledged as functional, though aftermarket loaders such as Maglula are mentioned as a preferred option. Overall, the factory package is presented as a complete starter kit for someone purchasing a first 9mm pistol or setting up a basic carry or range configuration.
Toward the end of the video, attention shifts to a giveaway featuring an LWRC REPR Mark II rifle chambered in 7.62 NATO. The rifle is described as a high-end option suited to a “bug-in” scenario, emphasizing staying at home rather than evacuating. An EOTech optic and magnifier combination is mounted on the rifle, and the setup is characterized as a powerful, visually appealing choice for those who appreciate 7.62 NATO. The giveaway is conducted in partnership with Premier Body Armor, which contributes a backpack and additional gear, forming a comprehensive package. Viewers are directed to a separate video for full details on the rifle and included accessories and are encouraged to enter the giveaway through ClassicFirearms.com, where the promotion is hosted.
