Final Auction Price: $4,136.00
The Perazzi TM9X is one of the premier purpose-built trap shotguns available today. Unlike many competition guns that utilize an over under receiver fitted with a top single or unsingle barrel, the TM9X was engineered from the ground up as a dedicated single barrel trap gun. Hand built in Italy and renowned for its exceptional balance, reliability, and competition pedigree, the TM9X remains a favorite among serious ATA and international trap shooters.

Our Assessment
Perazzi has earned its reputation as one of the world’s premier competition shotgun manufacturers through decades of dominance at the highest levels of clay target shooting. Olympic champions, World Champions, and Grand American winners have trusted Perazzi shotguns for generations, thanks to their exceptional craftsmanship, durability, and ability to be individually fitted to each shooter.
The TM9X represents Perazzi’s dedicated approach to trap shooting. Rather than adapting an over under action, the TM9X was designed specifically as a single barrel trap gun. Its adjustable 35 inch ventilated rib allows shooters to fine tune point of impact while the substantial barrel weight promotes an exceptionally smooth swing and forgiving follow through. The robust action, crisp trigger, and legendary Perazzi lockup have made the TM series one of the most respected trap platforms in the world.
This 2015 example remains in Fine Plus condition, retaining approximately 97 percent of its original finish with only honest signs of careful use. It includes its factory hard case, manuals, spare firing pin, tools, spacers, and lubrication accessories, making it an outstanding package for both competitive shooters and collectors.
Whether destined for registered ATA competition or simply appreciated as one of the finest Italian trap guns ever produced, the TM9X represents the craftsmanship, precision, and performance that have made Perazzi a benchmark in the world of competitive shotguns.
