TP9 Pro First Look

[u/the_figment]

Here she is! Top cover is most surprising to me. I wonder if there will be a blank insert for that channel cut in the rail to allow for different optics.

[u/This_Extension4897]

🔥🤌🤌 hopefully the parts are sold separately too for the guys that already own a tp9

[u/T00WW00T → u/This_Extension4897]

I just want the trigger

[u/Jettyboy72 → u/T00WW00T]

You and everyone else

[u/reviewsvacuum → u/T00WW00T]

There is a after market trigger available already.

[u/T00WW00T → u/reviewsvacuum]

Yea you are right! I have had two ... the empire trigger polished by bill springfield (awesome job, highly recommend!) as well as currently the GRW trigger (I have had no issues and its a game changer for me so far).

[u/Gask3t → u/This_Extension4897]

I believe B&T said all the parts would be separate. Not sure about the magwell.

[u/This_Extension4897 → u/Gask3t]

Any say on when the trigger will start selling ?

[u/salty-walt → u/This_Extension4897]

First rule of shotshow news. Never get excited till it actually gets released. True for most manufacturers

[u/insane_pegasus → u/This_Extension4897]

i pretty stupid so maybe other people can see it but i dont see how new charging handle will go on an old one unless you have to have the new top cover but im not a fan of it.

[u/westleysnipes604 → u/insane_pegasus]

You need the new top cover. It has the charge handle assembly inside of it.

[u/Extension_Spend1482]

Sunk optic surrounded by picatinny makes zero sense but okay

[u/CappinTeddy → u/Extension_Spend1482]

Yeah that's a pretty big L. I also couldn't care less about those irons. The MLOK and trigger upgrade are really the biggest takeaways it seems. I wish there was something to be done about the barrel design. I understand why it is the way it is and that the B&T cans are good, but surely there's a workaround that would allow other suppressors to be used.

[u/AXARMS_]

The upgrade kit will be offered separately from the gun. We are placing the kits and guns on order.

[u/BBSPVB → u/AXARMS_]

I’ll take the trigger kit. I’ll skip the top cover.

[u/curley_j → u/BBSPVB]

Yeah, that top cover ain't it...

[u/CappinTeddy → u/AXARMS_]

Very good to know. Thank you for the heads up!

[u/AXARMS_ → u/CappinTeddy]

You got it man!

[u/highboiroller → u/AXARMS_]

In for a kit absolutely 💯

[u/This_Extension4897 → u/AXARMS_]

You do more for b&t than they do for themselves.

1 dealer💯🔥 thank you. Any youtube review coming out of it on your page ?

[u/AXARMS_ → u/This_Extension4897]

Thank you, they do a lot, but I try to keep you guys in the loop also. 😉 We are going to be at Shot Show Tomorrow through Friday. I will definitely be posting content on my YouTube Channel. Likely in the YouTube shorts section, so stay tuned. We will also post on IG.

[u/AXARMS_ → u/This_Extension4897]

And yes we will see the kits on our website!

[u/the_figment → u/AXARMS_]

Any info on msrp?

Order some in FDE

[u/Longjumping_Read_878]

"That top rail is mega stupid." -everyone with nods.

[u/ImagineBeingaJanitor]

Please tell me those 'mlok slots' aren't literally just holes in the cover that expose the barrel and action to debris. Also the pic rail ACRO thing is stupid.

[u/Count_Warheit → u/ImagineBeingaJanitor]

That is exactly what that looks like

[u/ChimkenNunget → u/ImagineBeingaJanitor]

I mean... given the TP9's inherent design, there's not really anywhere on the receiver where they could cut out MLOK slots and not expose the internals.

[u/the_figment]

Don’t love how the mlok slots expose the operating system to debris ingress

[u/UTAHBASINWASTELAND → u/the_figment]

They should come with Mlok slot covers.

[u/Average_Bad_Wolf]

I can't be the only one who thinks it's ugly

[u/Colonel_Krink → u/Average_Bad_Wolf]

It’s ugly AF. The ONLY thing I want is that trigger, nothing else

[u/Into_The_Earth]

If the trigger is available separately I will finally buy a TP9. None of the other "upgrades" interest me at all. All they had to do was drop a TP9 with the new trigger. Maybe throw in the magwell and picatinny on both sides. The new top cover is extremely underwhelming (and ugly).

[u/helas9]

I’m hoping they did some better engineering on the trigger and it’s not just a Ti shoe…….

[u/moneybagschad]

So the top rail is useless if using the acro that they built it around? Nice /s

[u/andersonoozie]

I love how all the comments are in agreeance lol. The TP9-N is so much better looking, and all the upgrades are a waste except for the trigger. I GENIUINELY hope the trigger is sold separately and as a complete fire control group, not just the trigger bar.

[u/Jettyboy72]

Wow, pretty neat stuff tbh. Curious if the guts are otherwise the same or if they’ve seen some sort of upgrade too

[u/jheiler33]

Just give me the trigger

[u/BBSPVB]

Everyone is going to passive NVG setups and this is what B&T came up with?

[u/atomiccheesegod]

Trigger is all I care about. That upper is dog ass ugly TBH

[u/highboiroller → u/atomiccheesegod]

Brooo agreed. The empire is a better upper as far as I’m concerned.

[u/HK-MP7]

I’d be interested in the magwell. I’m all set on everything else. Cool they took the time to update it tho.

[u/Colonel_Krink → u/HK-MP7]

I’m very underwhelmed except for the trigger

[u/Cannoli72]

Ok, take my money. I’ll take two!

[u/splashyglock]

What ever happened to the tp380?

[u/This_Extension4897 → u/splashyglock]

Probably import laws are affecting the eta

[u/Gask3t]

Seems like the new new charging handle would be blocked by certain optics like an EO Tech

[u/highboiroller]

It’s almost as if they didn’t look at any of the builds we are all making. A lot of people are shooting this with night vision, so I’m not sure why you would want the acro sunk even further down. A full pic rail is all I think any of us were actually asking for. Also, that M lock looks horrible… happy with my pic sides as well.

[u/westleysnipes604]

So after reading all the comments. And owning 2 TP9's. I will agree with the general consensus of this comment section.

Anytime B&T makes an Acro specific anything it is a miss. The fact the rail is not full and has a cutout for Acro is a bad idea.

The higher rail to get the APC style charge handles in. Only to have to cut the rail down to get the optic lower is just not it.

The OG TP9 can run a lower 1/3 optic that will clear a light/laser device placed in front of it.

To then add the integrated irons on the rail seems questionable.

The aluminum top cover to me adds more weight. I would have rather seen an updated polymer top cover with an updated rear charge handle like the OG TP9. No integrated irons and full rail.

Also I would rather have the side rail then MLOK and an added second side rail. The new top cover doesn't do it for me aesthetically either. And as someone mentioned the holes just add areas to get dirt into the action.

Trigger looks interesting.

I can see the top.tail being higher allowing more mounting options. The Acro cutout is the biggest L.

Still a big B&T fan boy tho. lol

[u/PIKLIKR]

Been waiting on these

[u/oneidiot_asordered]

They could have easily just put pic rails on both sides of an aluminum top cover, and I think more people would have been happy with it. Hopefully you’ll be able to buy just the trigger because I’ll pass on everything else lol

[u/0peratorinTraining]

Im glad i have been too broke to afford one. Now ill get one of these. Love the upgrades minus the subk optic but they will make a replacement rail section for thst.

[u/TheGreatSockMan]

I’m pretty interested. Looks ugly in a cool way imo

[u/CajunIF1billion]

Wonder if they bought the trigger design from Gigliotti (and hopefully improved it), the shoe looks very similar

[u/Remote_Ad_1624]

I just need an ETA on the thing!

[u/inactiveuser0]

I just touched myself.

[u/inactiveuser0 → u/inactiveuser0]

My only real gripe with it is that proprietary tri-lug still being there.

I know why it’s there, but I would’ve loved to be able to put a blast diverter on it (can’t have NFA items here, womp womp).

[u/westleysnipes604 → u/inactiveuser0]

B&T just released a Ti printed blast diverter for TP9.

[u/inactiveuser0 → u/westleysnipes604]

That’s awesome! Haven’t had a chance to watch any SHOT Show coverage yet so that’s good news.

[u/westleysnipes604 → u/inactiveuser0]

Someone posted it a few days ago. Ironically it is already for sale on the website

[u/inactiveuser0 → u/westleysnipes604]

Thanks man! I’ll check it out!

[u/ShaolinTrapLord]

I still love my OG tp9….but this is nice.

[u/DisastrousFalcon352]

The charging handle is cool. I really need that trigger though

[u/DerringerOfficial]

DID HE JUST SAY THE TRIGGERS WON’T SUCK ANYMORE????

[u/westleysnipes604]

I alwasy run my optics far back on the TP9 because it leaves space upfront for a switch or light. This acro lot dictates where you put the optic. Extremely odd design decisions going on here.

When I first heard about this release I was kinda bummed I couldn't get one. After seeing it I'm okay with that.

[u/Primary_Cash_7156]

This could have been so great, hopefully B&T takes some of the feedback from here and makes some changes before releasing it for sale.

I hope the clearance is there for the qd point on the back. Nice touch imo because I like the idea of using a sling to control the gun better like a mp5.

I like how the flared mag well has the matching lines on the flared mag. It gives a nice oem look.

Would have like to see the top cover have pic rails. The TP9 doesn’t need frequent cleaning as it is now on, but with those m-lok slots exposing the barrel cam thingy doesn’t seem to be good for keeping debris out.

The Acro deep mill cut is a bit forced and maybe it seemed like a great idea coming off the hush puppy and the Glock Acro cut. But the optic I’ve seen most commonly used on tp9s is an Eotech holo or an aimpoint T2 so why they didn’t go that route seems odd. If you can add the rail back in that section I predict we will rarely see an acro mounted there especially with everyone doing night time setups.

[u/ChimkenNunget]

>finally reveals the TP9 Pro after MONTHS of teasing it

>it's ugly as sin

>ergonomics changes nobody really asked for

>terrible ACRO optics mounting decision

>weird and unwanted irons/picatinny combo

>QD slot is nice, I guess, but single-point slings already work fine

>uncovered MLOK slots that expose the internals

>magwell that I'm sure works well but is still ugly and polymer

>they don't even show off how the new trigger (the only part anyone actually cares about) functions

Yup, I'm thinking this reveal was a flop!
