This video details the history and evolution of the B&T MP9/TP9, tracing its origins from the Steyr TMP/SPP. It highlights B&T's crucial improvements, including the addition of a Picatinny rail and side-folding stock, and discusses the unique rotating barrel mechanism. The review also covers specialized features like the reduced back-pressure suppressor and its adoption by various military and law enforcement units.
The Cheek Pistol concept, pioneered by Rhett Neumayer, utilizes a compressed, unorthodox shooting stance with short firearms, creating a third point of contact with the cheek for enhanced stability. While demonstrated effectively with the Kel-Tec CP33 and Steyr SPP at 50 yards, the CP33 exhibits significant reliability issues, requiring specific ammunition to function. Future designs could improve brass ejection for cheek-weld shooting.
This review compares the B&T TP9 SBR with the original Steyr SPP, highlighting design evolution and suppressor performance. The TP9, a modern iteration of the Steyr TMP/SPP, features improvements like an integrated rail and enhanced safety. Suppressor tests demonstrate significant noise reduction on the TP9, making it a favored compact 9mm SBR.
The B&T TP9 is a Swiss-made 9mm semi-automatic pistol, evolving from the Steyr TMP/SPP and B&T's MP9 SMG. It features a unique rotating barrel locked-breech system, an AR-15 style charging handle, ambidextrous controls, and a proprietary tri-lug muzzle device. The trigger pull is linear, and field stripping is straightforward, revealing the innovative barrel mechanism.
