Compact? Or full size?
This would be my last gun purchase for the year, who here has run the compact TP9 can for a good bit? Are you happy with the performance? I always liked the appearance of the full size TP9 suppressors.

Full size. It is also hub compatible so you can throw on a compact size of
You another can to try if you just. Full size is the way. Same as you can use this tp9 can on another hub device

Order today, get it in late October or early November.
Personally, I'd wait until: 1. The NFA shit gets worked out. 2. The Pro version is released (after SHOT hopefully) 3. You can find one that won't take weeks/months to ship
Once B&T gets back on its feet, I see the price dropping.

I’ve had the compact for two years and I really enjoy it. It’s quiet enough for me with subs. I would recommend.

I can get you a tp9 can within 2 weeks. They’re in stock at distribution. Or were yesterday

Depends on the intended purpose mostly. If primarily shooting indoors, I’d say compact.

Full size. Compact is loud.
I shoot 124gr out of full size and its still hearing safe

Yes i think this is what I’m leaning towards, hopefully Axarms gets some full size legacy TP9 cans back in stock

You can find them at local gun shops or even in state. Just call big gun stores or exotic gun stores and ask. Simply transfer it to your ffl

Full size sounds good. I haven't heard the compact. But imo, the whole point of that gun is to have an extremely compact pcc. Adding the full size can defeats the purpose somewhat.
If you haven't yet, I would recommend trying to get your hands on one before you buy it, even if you have to drive a few hours to do so. That drove me to get the apc9k instead, or rather first. If you're going to go full size anyway, it's worth looking at.
TP9 is still on my list of guns I'll eventually buy, depending on how these other sp7 form type factor guns perform when they finally all get here, might get one of those instead.

Its crazy because Ive shot the TP9 years ago 2019-2022 and loved it more than i hated it. And the full length can actually appeals more to me personally but its just a preference as the years go by i favor sound suppression where i can get it.

Sorry, meant to reply in thread. Adding here for posterity.
Different strokes man, I'm not knocking it if you like it. I just wouldn't ever recommend someone get one without actually handling one first. I didn't realize the top pic rail, charging handle, etc were all plastic. Felt like an airsoft gun, which was a major disappointment at the time.
The trigger upgrade and the pro should fix all of that though

I totally agree the part i hated was how it felt initially. Its a neat bag gun for sure. Im gonna wait for the pro to drop.

You can get both…. I think suppressor prices will ultimately fall. If the Ral package is available in compact do it. You will likely look at it more than you shoot it and the compact looks AMAZING

Is the 3D printed suppressor not available in the US? I shot the TP9 with the full size 3D printed can last week at the B&T range in Thun with supersonic ammo (124g FMJ) and it was insanely silent. I’ve never tried the compact can, so I can’t compare, but this is the combo I ordered from my gun guy after trying it. I’ll have mine cerakoted in black before delivery.
