tec-9

how do you guys feel about this gun??? and is really banned?

Hello and welcome to the forum.

The TEC-9 and it's later brother the KG-99 are simply designed, large mag capacity, assault pistols?.

I owned one of the original open bolt TEC-9's and a later KG-99. They were fun to shoot and a crowd pleaser, had decent accuracy (the KG-99) for what they were. Just like the MAC-10 type pistols there was not really a use for them except if you liked to shoot them and wanted something that looked like a submachinegun but wasn't. It all depends on your intended purpose for it.

I am not aware that they are banned anywhere. The open bolt versions command a premium price simply due to them being easier to convert legally to select fire.

banned?? myabe in some states . It is a semi-auto pistol. I don't see any need for one but everyone has there wants. Iits nearly as usefull as a full sized semi-auto pistol.

I had a KG-99. I got talked into it by a cop who said it would make a pretty good home defense gun. I thought it was very difficult to be very accurate with it due to the poor sights and poor ergonomics. I hated it. I traded it and motorcycle for my Colt AR-15. I know I got the better end of the trade.

I would much rather have a Glock-17 or Glock-19 with a 33 round extended mag than a Tec-9 or KG-99 any day.

I'm sure the kG-99 would be fun in Full Auto. I have Full Auto Mac 10 and at 1200 rpm it a blast to shoot. Yea it's a wast of ammo but people love shooting it.

There's nothing to hate about a Tec-9 as long as it's functioning correctly.
And usually when it isn't, the problem is an easy fix...
Seriously, just look at it, it's SWEET!!!
