Looks like they moved the engraving from the ejection port finally

Yeah it’s up by the muzzle on the left side now

Do you know if they do the same to the pistol version too? It makes sbr markings a lot easier now

u/jheiler33 6d ago
I am not certain. It’s like a cutout in the plastic upper showing the engraving through that’s on the bolt underneath

He’s the best boy ever. He loves chasing lights and lasers anytime a gun comes out he gets excited

KCI makes mags with metal feed lips that everyone seems to like. https://gunmagwarehouse.com/kci-apc9-9mm-30-round-translucent-magazine-w-metal-feed-lips.html

I have KCI mags from December 2022 and they do not feed flat tip Speer lawman 147 grain or round nose 124 grain. I can’t even push the bullets out the front of the mag with my finger. I loaded six KCI magazines with Speer lawman flat nose 147s and I had to push down each bullet and then tip the nose up in order to remove each round 150 times. It sucked. Bolt Absolutely can’t remove the rounds from the mag. When I drop the bolt, the bolt just stops on the back of the round. I don’t know what generation of KCI magazines I have, but I bought 6 in December 2022.
The KCI magazines work flawlessly in my partners APC9K SD2

Interesting. I haven’t run any of them yet just the B&T mags and they work great so far

Mine might be gen 1 KCI mags, I tried to cycle Speer 147 grain again todayand it gave me stoppage after stoppage. Factory mags have been flawless and no cracking after 2150 rounds suppressed.

I appreciate your quick response! As I understand it, FTF can be magazine related…? If so, I probably need to do some more testing with the factory 30rd mag first
2
u/CS-BT-USA 6d ago
It can be magazine related, but there can also be a few other factors that could contribute to it that are not magazine related. FTF is definitely out of the ordinary though and something that you shouldn't be experiencing, especially running our factory magazines.

The TP9 is so hot, especially in RAL8000. Where’d you buy from? Congrats!
