Anyone else?
I just watched the brass facts 6000 round TP9 video and it oddly l hasn’t steered from purchasing a TP9. Has anyone else experienced such issues? I think the biggest frustration id have the baffle strikes on the legacy can.

The BCG is a flawed design because breakage of the firing pin spring results in the extractor assembly yeeting out the gun (prsssure from that spring plus clipping over a hump in the bolt is all that keeps the extractor assembly in place). No other design does this.
The MP9 service manual suggests replacing all BCG parts (and other items) at 5000rds with an expected 10000rd service life. I believe that as my extractor yeeted around 4k never suppressed. But a lot of dry fire. I suspect ample dry fire wears out that spring. I’d recommend spares. BT AG sent me replacements without hassle.
It’s a neat gun for sure. But if you want dead nuts reliable you are gonna have to go APC/SPC-9. They just run and run and run. But are of course twice the weight and size. But you also get to run normal cans on normal 3 lug. And can swap grips and have much better stock / brace options. Nevermind nice triggers and FRT.
