Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main pros and cons of the B&T TP9?

The B&T TP9 is praised for its compact size and reliability after an initial break-in period. However, its primary drawback is the 'terrible' factory trigger, which is heavy and has a poor reset. The proprietary suppressor also performs better with subsonic ammunition than supersonic rounds.

What modifications were made to the B&T TP9 in the video?

The B&T TP9 in the video features an Aimpoint Acro P2 red dot sight mounted on an American Defense Manufacturing low-profile mount. It also has a Giggli ODI aluminum charging handle and Goon Tape applied to the grip for aesthetic purposes.

How does the B&T TP9 suppressor perform with different ammunition types?

The B&T TP9's proprietary suppressor is noted to perform well with subsonic ammunition, providing a good level of sound suppression. With full metal jacket or supersonic ammunition, its effectiveness is reduced, likely due to its reduced back pressure design.

What are the recommended magazines for the B&T TP9?

The reviewer strongly recommends KCI translucent magazines for the B&T TP9, citing their steel-reinforced feed lips and follower as superior to the factory B&T polymer magazines, which are described as having sharp edges and being less durable.
