is the tp9n polymor similar to those on glocks for laser?
After 7-8 months of ownership, an infinite amount of money, and two tax stamps later, I’m still not in love with this thing. Obviously, it’s one of the coolest looking guns ever. But outside from that, I’m not exactly impressed with its performance or much else. It’s just kind of meh for me now…Part of me really wishes I went with the SIG MPX. I just feel like getting this thing off my hands would be such a pain in the ass it’s not worth the effort. Anyone else feeling this way?
Went to the range today to test more ammo with the KCI mags.
I retested flat nose. The malfunctions seem to have gotten worse lol. Every round on the left feed ramp failed to feed.
Now for ball ammo... This is where things got weird. On both a half mag and full mag the left round would fail to go into battery slightly. However it would go into battery after pulling the trigger but it would not fire. Requiring you to re rack the weapon and ejecting the unspent round.
To verify it was not a gun issue or ammo issue I loaded up some factory mags with both types of ammo and had zeros issues.
These tests were done both suppressed and unsupressed.
Anyone know if I can use normal gun grease on this or will this harm the polymer?
Also I have some Lucas spray cleaner. Is this safe to use? Thanks
Update: I used the Lucas spray degreaser on it... Seemed to be fine. I was careful not to remove the lithium grease for the "polymer on polymer parts" (safety and mag release).. I regreased the metal parts with Lucas gun grease. It seems to have improved trigger pull slightly.
Hey everyone, finally got my SST housing back from Gigliotti and installed, and without the top cover on, I've been able to get it to work properly. However, the gun will not properly reset if I'm holding the trigger when I run the charging handle. and requires several attempts at pulling the trigger again before it'll pop into place and be ready to fire again. Reached out to them again, to see if they'll take a look at it cause I'm pretty much done trying to make this trigger kit work. I'd rather deal with a crappy but reliable trigger than deal with these issues
I've always had a TP9 on my 'grail gun' list, for some reason I just really like how they look.
Now that I've actually looked at prices and how they perform, I'm a little less sure. 2300-2500 dollars plus another rack for the can - that's not cheap. Browsing this sub, I see a lot of people with hundreds of dollars in aftermarket triggers, magwells, and other parts; are those all necessary for a reliable gun? And that's not even getting into optics and lights.
Were I to buy a TP9, it'd be primarily as a bag gun and something to carry when I want a little more firepower than a pistol but don't want to keep a rifle on me. I'd 100% want the suppressor - subsonic 9mm is great fun and that looks like quite a good can. I've got a few questions regarding the whole thing:
Are all the aftermarket parts I see on here needed to get the TP9 to a reliable state? Or are they just cosmetic/user experience upgrades, like a nicer trigger?
With all the necessary things - gun, can, optic, light, etc - what sort of a price tag am I looking at here?
Would I need to SBR the gun? I'm fine with the stamp for the can, but SBRs with the interstate travel limits is a pain.
Just in general, is this a good gun? Hell, is it enjoyable to shoot?
KCI mags do not feed flat nose ammo into the TP9 reliably. 2 out of 5 rounds jammed usually on the left feed ramp. OEM mags work great with all ammo. I will be testing round tip ammo soon but my current thoughts are that it will feed fine.
Anyone know if this can is rated for 9mm? I know .380 and 9mm bullet diameters are essentially the same. Tired of waiting for the TP380 and this can threads nicely on my micro Uzi.
Realized I've had the can for a few weeks now but never got around to posing a picture with it all put together
Welp, I guess I joined the club today! Managed to snag this one for about $1600 and it even included the grip and the two mags. Stock, optic, and suppressor have already been ordered.
Btw, has anyone tried the Empire stiletto trigger? I'm looking at getting that too
Does anyone know what the extra screw included with the kit is for? The Hex is smaller than both the small and large side hosing screws, and is completely threaded. Not like the small side screw with smooth section, or large side with washer.
Hey everyone, I’m a new Tp9 owner and I’m trying to install a Gen 1 vortex UH1 on my new gun. I can’t get the optic to drop past the top of the rails to seat. The latch is unlocked, but it absolutely won’t seat onto the rail at all.
Has anyone else had this issue? TIA
Just FYI in case any one needs either item.
Any idea when Gigliotti will make another batch of TP9 triggers? I signed up for the email notification, just wondering if someone has an inside line on when they’ll be available again. Thanks.
What's everyone's experience with running self-defense loads in the TP9? I know most people aren't using hollow points at the range, but for those of you with experience, I'm curious to know what malfunctions, if any, you've encountered.
What's the consensus on KCI mags with the TP9? Work great? Don't work as well as oem?
Has anybody gotten a hold of them recently? I sent them an email 9 days ago to get an update on my SST housing and the updated parts they talked about releasing sometime soon, since they offered to install the parts for me when they release since they already have the housing.
Haven't heard back from them as of yet, and have just sent them another email hoping to get an update.
Looking to buy used Tp9. I see there is a Gen 1 and 2. Can anyone tell me the differences between the two and any issues with either one?
I'm seeing OD green and alpine green TP9s... Are these two different greens? And will the green VFG from B&T match either? Thanks.
Can’t find a black model anywhere.
Anyone else having MAJOR issues with the GRW trigger? (For the cross bolt safety version)
I’ve emailed them a few times and have spent countless hours only to have it continue to brick my TP9. The provided screws are very weak metal and continue to strip when I tighten them to what it need to be get the hammer clearance (I’m already on my second set of screws, which are yet again almost stripped), and the trigger will only reset if I hit the gun multiple times.
With how finicky the FCG placement is and how weak the screws are, I have serious concerns this trigger will make the gun pretty unreliable (if I could ever get it working).
Am I an outlier or are these really that bad?
