Please tell me about this little TMP Clone? I have heard they are extremely light weight to where they can be easily carried in a hip holster, How is the recoil on it being so light, and I'm also aware of the proprietary can that they use. But i wanna know more, how is accuracy and such with them?

SBR w Custom fabricated replica of TMP front grip by Clint Lynch. Recoil is snappy due to light overall weight. Magazines are expensive and fragile compared to glock or magpul polymers. Red dot sight a must. Very compact and easily concealed. accurate. take down for cleaning is a bit tricky the first couple of times.
fun fact...used by the French version of POTUS Detail, used by Germans in Afgn during my time w them. |

I owned one for about a month. The trigger is horrible, even worse than my UZI. The iron sights are an after thought. On the plus side, it is super easy to SBR since the folding stock just screws on.
Not worth the price IMHO. |

I've got two early imports with threaded barrel shrouds; one is SBR'd. My triggers are mediocre - they're essentially two stage triggers, but with not allot of tactile feedback. Once you learn the reset, you can get rounds off fast. Not sure why the above poster said recoil is snappy, mine aren't at all and, in fact, the rotating locking mechanism is designed to mitigate recoil and does so effectively.
A red dot is great. Mags aren't cheap, but they're also pretty robust. I've dropped mine and they've been fine. The best feature of the TP9 is the fact that it truly Suppressed beautifully with a high-volume can. I've got a Thompson Machine SG2 with a custom mount that turns it into a pellet gun. I like mine allot. It's unique in the market except for maybe the MP7 in terms of weight, though the TP9 is much smaller than the MP7. The only PDW I prefer is the PS90. |

I just sold the old incarnation I had (SPP 9), I liked it ok but I wanted to SBR and the only stocks floating around were $400. I used the money to buy the P26, kept most
of my mags from the SPP since they fit the P26. Stock to sbr the P26 is less expensive. Also tough to find anything to put on the "barrel", shroud is over the barrel, pretty strange setup. |

Do you have any more detail about the custom front grip? The difficulty of finding a front grip that looks "right" on the TP9 is pretty much the only hesitation I have about picking one up and SBRing it. View Quote |

WOW, how much did that run and where can the rest of us get one?
|

[#11]
I really want one, but the price keeps me away.
I like the cross between handgun and sub gun. What's the cheapest you can get one of these for these days? |

That custom front grip is what I've been looking for for my TP9 for YEARS. Everything I've tried is clunky and not very ergonomic. It would be great if the creator of that custom grip would be willing to make a few more, is he a member here or might you have his contact info?

I've spoken to Mr. Lynch about making a limited run. Stay tuned. View Quote I know the market is very, very limited for TP9 proprietary parts but it would be fucking boss to have a grip like this available. Edit: Heck, he might want to consider doing a kickstarter, a group buy or something for the project. I'm definitely in for one and I bet a few others here would be as well. |

I don't have a TP9 only because they put the serial number in the wrong place, and you can't add a proper vertical fore grip.... Until now. If I can buy that grip, I will buy the rest to go on it.

Absolutely love mine. I started a thread that no one responded to about the generations of TP9 available in the US. We're on Gen III.
I wouldn't trade mine for the world, but, it has it's limitations. Nothing is as small and light as the TP9 other than the Uzi Pro. The Swiss Army recently adopted the MP9 as their new subgun. That gives me confidence in it. My DS Arms import needed to run ~250 rounds through it before it "loosened up a bit". I have had ZERO malfunctions after those 250 rounds. ETA: I'm in for a foregrip! ETA: I have to respectfully disagree about the magazines being fragile. I have purposefully kept a 30 rounder loaded to 30 rounds (B+T is VERY clear about NOT loading to capacity, but, to load to 29 Rounds) for going on a year with no spreading of the feed lips. |

Im in also.
I would pay a crazy amount of money for that foregrip. Eta: where are you guys engraving your info? |

I had the TP9 but had a lot of problems getting it to run right?
Had an original Steyr SPP that ran great, found one of the detachable TMP shoulder stocks a while back when I got it form 1'd. super handy...wish I still had it. Now i have the stock sitting here with no gun |

Just keeping this thread alive.
@18B30 is the custom grip you had made rapid prototyped or was it made by hand? If it was rapidpro, might the creator be willing to share (or sell) the source files? |

I'm also totally in for a VFG for the TP9.
If they are digitized in CAD / Solidworks, perhaps a run 3D printed out of carbon fiber infused plastic? I believe Shapeways and a few other 3D printing services offer this material and the ability to do "on demand" ordering of products. |

I am interested in the TP9/TMP Grip as well. I have money in hand and I am 100% committed.

I think several of us are in so far, but its been two weeks and the grips' creator has yet to even show up to say he'd actually make more.
This whole endeavor could be for naught. |

Alright boys and girls. I apologize if I'm stepping on Mr.Lynch's toes but I will take on this challenge. I don't know if there will ever be a finished product so don't start getting your hopes up but I"m going to do my best.
I'm going to need some help though. Not having my own TP9 may prove to be my biggest obstacle. But why not give it a shot? Some of the dimensions I need are as follows: Length of the pistol grip, I will make the forward grip slightly smaller and shorter of course but I want something to base it off of. The distance between the two holes for the screws. Thread pitch for the screws. And any info you can give me on the "mounting plate". http://i.imgur.com/CVaclKWh.jpg?1 Thanks! |
