What the Hell is a tech nine(9) pistol????
 
A buddy of mine is going to sell one and I can't find a picture of one anywhere. Any web site know of?

NICKSLICK 02-09-2002 11:52 PM

Im pretty sure its a mid quality nine milimeter pistol. 9+1

CAP071 02-10-2002 12:18 AM

It's a crap quality gun. also known as Intra Tech If I remember correctly. My friend had 1 and it always jammed. The gangs in the inter cities always used them cause they were cheap high capacity guns. 9mm you could get a clip to hold 40 rounds it's a look alike assault machine gun. stay away from it buy a real gun > Smith/Wesson or Heckler-Koch or Glock :D :D

I had one as well and it jammed all the time too. After that a couple S&W's and now I have a few of these http://www.glock.com

Serious weapons.

Dono 02-10-2002 01:10 AM

check out auction arms .com

cuda 02-10-2002 02:29 AM

It is a sorry jamming pos! Very inacurrate and prone to not fire when you want it to. They used to sell for $239 before all the "ban the assault weapons" went in to effect.

HydroScream 02-10-2002 02:38 AM

P.O.S..... !! not worth the steel its stamped out of

birdog 02-10-2002 09:39 AM

Screw S&W!!!! They sold out to the gun grabbers,left all the other manuf. to fight those ignorant law suits alone. I've owened several smiths 19s 29s etc. NEVER AGAIN will they see a pennie of my money !!!

Mike J 02-10-2002 10:08 AM

Hi Rick: The teck 9 was /is made in florida and was used on
a lot of Maimi Vice shows.
I had one at the Stunt Show at
the Ventura Races When the Dive
Team & Maimi Vice Stunt Team
Put on the Show.
I will fax you what I have.
Mike J. :eek:

kaamacat 02-10-2002 10:08 AM

ScarabRick. Honestly, you dont even want to be associated with owning one. They have one purpose, high capacity scum gang crap. Also, you would never want one to protect youself with. As the others said they jam and are crap. If you want to own something reliable for self defense buy a Glock which are lowerer in price and reliable, or, treat yourself to a nice H&K. (I shoot competition with an H&K, and have many friends that use Glock....both are flawless). Also, no matter what you may go for, try a 40sw caliber.

Donzi Corleone 02-10-2002 10:23 AM

SIG BABY...(SIG SAUER)P-220 I used in Law Enforcement and was able to hold a master title with it.O`h yeah I`ll have it in Miami this week.LOL :cool:

birdog 02-10-2002 10:26 AM

Don't the navy Seals carry Sig's now? If they trust them they must be the best!!

kaamacat 02-10-2002 10:59 AM

Agreed. The Sig is also a great choice. !! :)

Intolerant1 02-10-2002 11:35 AM

I carry a full size frame S&W 10mm at work. Has never failed to fire nor has it jammed in at 3,000 rounds. I also carry it on the boat as an emergency anchor :)

Mike J 02-10-2002 02:40 PM

Check out #167 on the list....
Scarabs are Illegal Also....
Rick not only Don't buy the gun
but now you have to change your
name. :D :D

HydroScream 02-10-2002 02:45 PM

Get yourself a Kimber and be done with it. The HK, Sig's and Glocks are also a nice choice ;)

Sunsation 32 02-10-2002 06:14 PM

I have a sig p226 night sights and two 15 shot clips I gave $500 and its an excellent gun. I also have a Glock 19 that was a refurbished West Palm Beach PD gun. I only gave $300 for it and use it for a concealed carry gun. My wife has a Walther ppk 380. I would recomend any of these guns. None of them jam but if you arent careful the slide on the Walther will get your knukle on your thumb and remove all the skin (ouch). If you've got the money, Buy the KIMBER!!!

Madcow 02-10-2002 08:05 PM

Last I heard the special forces were carrying H/Ks. I have a couple of these, and it is a VERY high quality gun. I also agree wit everyone else, you can't go wrong with a Kimber. I also agree that you should stay away from the Tek-9. I had one once. They are truly junk!

Vonbongo 02-10-2002 10:09 PM

I owned 2 HK's a 9 and a .40 and they were both very nice guns but I have smaller hands and they have very large grips. Glock seems to have a very canted grip so I am not fond of them although they are great guns.

I have a Sig P220 in .38 Super and I love it. Also a S&W 1006 10mm. Both fit me well because of the single stack clips. The sig is a lot nicer gun. It's a bit like boats, buy what you like, but don't buy a that POS you friend is selling.

ThunderousDaze 02-10-2002 10:10 PM

STAY AWAY from the Tech 9...get a real gun!

rjcardinal 02-10-2002 10:28 PM

Another vote for Sig Sauer. Have the P230 and love it.

Super30 02-11-2002 08:22 AM

Tech 9....90s version of a saturday night special stay away unless you need a small boat anchor ;)

BAJA WILL 02-11-2002 08:35 AM

I agree stay away from the Tech 9. unless you want to stand around drinking 40's of malt liquor.

You get what you pay for in guns!!!!! Personally I love my ruger 9mm and Colt AR-15, Ruger could be more accurate, Colt is Dead ON.

WILL ;)

Padraig 02-11-2002 08:54 AM

Go with a 45ACP. I really like the new Kimbers but have had a Colt Ociffers model for a number of years. Whatever you get make sure you practice shooting it!

scarabrick 02-11-2002 10:50 AM

Thanks for the info. I had no idea they were a POS. I'll just stay with my taurus pt99, 9mm and my S&W 357. along with my Kel-tec 9mm and my target 22's pistols. Thanks again. Also, My friend is looking for a Glock 9mm any body have a good price on them? Looking thru shotgun news for some good pricing.

Thanks,
Rick

G-Force 02-11-2002 01:05 PM

Wow...I must have the only Tec 9 in existance that doesn't jam! And I can shoot the eyes out of a sparrow at 50 yards with the thing. Always interesting to be at the gun range, slap in a 50 round clip, and start to shoot out the bullseye mark...it's like the air guns at the carnival when you shoot out the star!

NICKSLICK 02-11-2002 02:45 PM

I just use my DESERT EAGLE .50 as my primary carry, and CASSUL .454 as my backup (ankle) gun.

When I go to the range, I take out the bullseye, and most of the target with just one shot...

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :D :cool:

big daddy 02-11-2002 03:18 PM

Damn, Nick!!!
You must have some big-ass ankles!!!!

26scarab 02-11-2002 03:27 PM

Now see.....stuff like that just plain bothers me...... :(

G-Force 02-11-2002 07:15 PM

CAP071 02-11-2002 07:16 PM

DUDE! I GOT ME A RED RIDER CARBINE LEVER ACTION BB GUN !!!!! WITH THIS BABY, I CAN BLOW AN EYE OUT FROM AT LEAST 20 YARDS AWAY! HA-HA! :D :D

Audiofn 02-11-2002 09:20 PM

My Carry gun is a S&W 38 spec. It has a 3" Barrel and holds 5 shots. It also has a hammer cover so that you do not cock it by accident. I do not care what anyone says the only gun to carry is a revolver as it is the ONLY gun you can know is going to work EVERY time. I can toss it in my pocket or on my hip and NO ONE will know it is there. I DO NOT want anyone to know I am carrying, it can cause trouble for you. My favorite semi is my Sig 226 9mm. I have shot THOUSANDS of rounds through it and it has been flawless, not one missfire. For pin and plate I use my 38 special or my Dan Wesson 445 Super Mag. They get pissed when I use that because with the 380 grain bullets it rips the Plates off the table and explodes the pins into a million little bits. :D :D For Target it is my old High Standard 22.

birdog 02-12-2002 10:07 AM

I just read this morning that S@W has been bought from the British Co. By an American group! I sure hope they will reverse Smiths stand on gun control. The Brits are the ones that caved in to the "gun grabbers"
