The B&T TP9-N is the semiautomatic version of the MP-9-N. It features a smaller frame when compared to other weapons in its class. The TP9 sports a top mounted picatinny rail with plenty of rail space for mounting a wide range of optics as well as two side mounted rails for the installation of lights and lasers. It also has low profile back up iron sights in the form of a fixed front post sight and a windage adjustable rear peep sight. The safety switch is ambidextrous and easy to engage/disengage. The charging handle is reminiscent of the AR-15, and in the event the handle gets stuck, there is a hold cut into the slide: insert a 9mm round into the hole and use it to safely cock/clear the weapon. The TP9-N was optimized for covert operations in addition to an incredible personal defense weapon.
Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 9mm Luger (9X19mm, Parabellum, P08) was developed in Germany in 1902. Widely used in both world wars, it is the most popular pistol cartridge in the world, now widely used by innumerable law enforcement agencies and militaries (including our own) in both pistols and submachineguns. The controversy over its "stopping power" will never go away, but its attribute is that it is much easier to shoot accurately than larger cartridges with greater power...but more recoil. Advancements in bullet design for law enforcement and personal defense have narrowed the gap considerably. The 9mm Luger is a world standard, chambered by virtually all makers of semiautomatic pistols, with a myriad of factory loads. The most standard is probably a 115-grain load at 1160 fps, with common bullet weights ranging from 95 to 147 grains, and +P loads at higher velocity. — Craig Boddington
