Hi guys, I recently bought a TP9-N from Shooting Surplus. I’d watched MAC and Alabama Arsenal vids on YT forever and then lurked around on here. I appreciate the community, it helped me make my decision. Took her to the range today and it ran like a sewing machine. Only thing I don’t like is the trigger, but it’s not near as bad as some make it out to be. I’ve just been spoiled by Geissele over the years. I’m hoping the new ShootingRight trigger will be well reviewed, may try one when they’re out. While at the range today I shot my Scorpion with binary trigger. Ton of fun, wish they’d make one for the TP9.
I’m already hunting an APC9. Two vendors sent me back in stock notifications today 
Is there an easy way to post pictures from an iPad? I looked around seems it can only be done by PC or URL link? |

I’m curios about the Shooting Right trigger
BUT Why did they mill instead of EDM the surfaces? Close to Geiselle prices on their other items so I would have expected that. We’ll see! |

The TP9 was my first large volume can, as I normally just get K models. The sound reduction is crazy even with supersonic rounds. Almost reminds me of a paintball gun.

Form 4 back! What do you think of the GHM gen 2 stock on the TP9? (I'm using the same optic with the standard folding stock.) Thanks. |

I like it. I haven’t used the standard TP9 stock but I think it offers a more natural cheek weld than the collapsible stock/brace. I think it looks better too. It doesn’t lock but that doesn’t bother me much. I would love an APC style stock for the TP9 that has a similar length as the GHM9 stock.

I just picked up my TP9-US from my local shop (got a great deal).
It’s a DSA gun, I guess an early generation, with the black magazines. They don’t drop free. Are there mags that will drop free or is it the mag well that needs modifications? |

Anyone using the TP9 suppressor 3 lug adapter? I tried to put the TP9 Suppressor on a CZ scorpion but it wasn’t mounting. Apparently it’s compatible with HK3 lugs. What other kind of 3 lug is out there and how do I know if I have a HK 3 lug or not? This is obviously my first 3lug suppressor so I have no idea. I put 3 lugs on my PCCs because I thought they were supposed to be universal.

The magazines don’t drop free in any of my B&T’s when the bolt is locked back. I get why guys would want that function but it doesn’t bother me.
Regarding magazines, has anyone tried the Custom Smith 10 round magazine extensions? I grabbed one on a whim while browsing the CS website and just installed today. I had no idea they existed. It’s been my experience that most gadgets like this have reliability issues but this particular magazine has frequent FTF issues already, I assume due to a bad spring. I’ll try and test it out this weekend.  Attached File |

I run low mounts on all. The B&T BUIS being in the lower 1/4 field of view when folded on the GHMs and KH9 caused me to try Bobro low rider BUIS, but now the B&T BUIS doesn’t bother me, a lot of people remove the BUIS all together, but leave them on.

the BUIS have a wide notch that is far too wide for use with the stock or brace. Held at pistol length though, they could be good.

I finally got around to shooting the TP9-N I have had since December this week. Very pleasantly surprised, I hadn't expected it to be such a soft shooter. Now if the ATF would get off their ass and approve my companion suppressor.

On another note I took my TP9 to the range on Sunday. Damn thing wouldn’t feed 147 grain HPs at all. I was thinking of making the TP9 my primary home defense gun but the fact it won’t chamber hps is a deal breaker. Ran everything else fine and the trigger is getting less gritty with every pull.
Anyone else have this problem? |

B&T used to have the same fixed stock listed for the MP9/TP9 around the time of DSA imports. They are much nicer to shoot with the stock. I would buy one but can’t justify it with my TP9s. ETA you can add the B&T lower pic rail to the SPP as well. Custom Smith’s MP9 style VFG would also fit. Just need to drill two holes. |

It’s a no-go, doesn’t fit i. this application. I found having a low mounted light on the right side worked well you can operate it with your trigger finger for on off, since all our youtube commandoes seem to be crazy about side finger discipline it should be a natural position for most. My problem is theres a laser, the. a light and no way to fold anything.
