r/TP9

Not all hero’s wear capes..
Anybody have any details ?
Just saw this😩

Finally got the range. I'm very impressed with the update and it's certainly what I needed to make the TP9 worth keeping. I don't have a gauge but it feels very similar to a stock Glock trigger (aprx 4.5lbs) and will hopefully break in and improve like a Glock.

Installation was pretty simple with some minor issues I spoke about in my last post. Put 300 rounds of 124gr Federal through it today. (Would've done more but it was hot and sticky and I had a BBQ to run) Off the bench, slow fire, 25yds, it held pretty good with about a 4" spread. Much better than the 10" spread I was getting with the stock trigger.

On the trigger itself. I've got a few gripes. I'm not a fan of the way the new sear group is held in place with the two screws coming in from both sides of the frame and attaching to the trigger grip itself. In my older model (circa 2013) the screws needed to be left about 2 turns out, or they would pull the trigger group up off the bottom of the plastic frame where it would catch on the bolt and prevent it feel cycling. One other weird issue, I can't seem to fix despite several attempts making adjustments. If I pull the trigger past the break all the way into the frame, the trigger will not reset under fire or during dry fire. There's a good bit of "squish/takeup" in the pull up to the wall, but the break is clean. The reset is slightly longer than I would like, but a vast improvement over the factory, so no real issue there and I don't think either issue is really fixable given the design of the trigger. While the metal of the trigger shoe and trigger bar isn't "raw" it has a very minimal coating that I don't find very appropriate given the cost, and plan to keep well oiled to prevent wear and rust. My $200 Geissele triggers have a much nicer finish.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the improved performance, and very excited to actually enjoy shooting this gun for a change. Since the trigger was only manufactured in the last few years, I'm not really surprised by the issues that cropped up for me in my older platform. None of which are deal breakers.

I just hope that Gigliotti makes a few "quality of life" improvements in the future. This trigger was not easy to develop, and I'm sure the cost reflects that, but for that cost, I expected a little better final product.

Picked up a TP9 before the ban kicked in two days ago and now want to choose the following. What are your suggestions?

- suppressor (thinking full size legacy RBS)
- charging handle…there has to be a better option than this plastic piece of shit
- trigger
- optic and riser (was thinking Acro with Arisaka)

We’ve had a problem with wild dogs at the ranch. So the TP9 is doing PSD duty for the cowgirl and her pony. Don’t forget friends tomorrow is the day! Midnight Machine TP9 reset trigger goes live for pre order! Use code midnight at naarms.com for 5% off.

Kind of expensive, what do y'all think?

Got the new GRW trigger installed. Pretty happy with it so far, won't be able to get to the range until Thursday so full review will need to wait. Install went easy, thanks GRW for the full color picture instructions.

Noticed during testing (before I fully assembled it) that the trigger would "hitch" slightly when pulled. Kind of a hesitation before releasing after hitting the wall. But it released and reset, so I reassembled. I figured it would work itself out after a few dozen dry fires.

After assembly I tried to test fire, but the bolt would get stuck back when I pulled the charging handle. As if it was doing the last round bolt hold open, despite not having a magazine inserted. "Lightly" tapping on the back of the receiver caused it to slide back into battery.

Disassembled. I adjusted the two retaining screws used to hold the new trigger group until I got rid of the "hitch" and reassembled. Tested and it performed without issue. I did have to leave the screws slightly out. Hopefully the loctite and tiny retention screws hold up to firing.

Trigger pull is certainly reduced substantially, I dont have a gauge, but I would compare it to a stock Glock trigger. Reset was a bit longer than expected, but far better than the OEM trigger. Only other "concern" is that the trigger wiggles quite a bit both side to side and slightly downward. Not sure if that is an issue without shooting it, but I thought it was odd.

edit another odd issue. Discovered that the trigger reset will not function if I pull the trigger fully to the rear and hold it there while running the bolt. If I pull the trigger until it breaks and stop pulling, then run the bolt, it resets just fine.

First impressions was good, I did have trouble shooting some flat top ammo subsonic ammo (147g) I had. Failure to feeds happening basically every other round. But the round top ammo fired fine (115g). Hoping to be posting my full build coming in few weeks. But my gigliotti trigger comes in today and going to attempt to install it… 😅😭

Edit: Took me about 3.5 hours, everything seems to be working fine. I have never done anything like this before, the greatest amount of work ive done is cleaning the bolt assembly of an ar15. The actual hardest part was not doing what this guy did where he put the back side on the hook first and then you kinda bend the metal band to get the trigger on. Also it felt good that you take more parts out then needed to be put back in 😅 !

Edit: Potential issue im looking at??? Racking is a little bit harder then i remembered it (I only had to rack the gun like 10 times before). There was a FAQ about not being able to rack but that peg is no longer there / isnt as big as the picture and didnt notice a difference playing with it. My TP9 was also covered in grease out of the factory (I hate to sound like a teenager, but the interior was coated with a thick viscous white grease). Im gonna keep looking at this or just rack this shit like 1000 times and see whats up but im done for today.

Edit Edit: After 30 minutes I was racking like normal, I think the lube settled in and honestly my hands were hurting after install so I feel good after install.

TL:DR : GRW Plunger Charging Handle seems to hold holt slightly rearwards and cause a lot of rattle.

So, while I wait for the connector to arrive from the absolute GOATs at B&T AG, my Giglioti Charging Handle and SST showed up. Figured I’d mess with them now just to know what to do when the spare parts show up. After watching the youtube video on how to install and uninstall, and marveling at how nice the GRW handle feels to run, I noticed my TP9 seemed more rattle when I handled the gun.

The only thing I can seem to figure out is the GRW handle might be holding the bolt back slightly compared to the factory handle. If you compare the indicated roll pins in the pictures to the sharp edge below them as the metric. I can replicate the rattle with the factory handle by pulling back on the bolt slightly.

Has anyone else experienced this? Am I missing something?

Howdy, I’m the guy who posted about having a broken BT-30155 yesterday. After doing as much looking as I can, including at least one person who also had a broken one and says their TP9 still worked with a broken one (mine also kept functioning)…what does this part even do?

Kinda shocked that it seems to be MIM.
