you got jacked. $600 for that trash is unreal.
There is no way in hell I would trust my life to one, completely unreliable at best.

Pic related, mine.

>>31978436
What is unreliable about it and is it conditional?

>>31978404
Tec 9 is garbage, unreliable, and will break if you use the wrong ammo. 600 is way to much for one. There are countless better options.

>Truck gun
What is this meme? Is it referring to semis or pick-up trucks? What distinguishes a "truck gun" from any gun that cops or non-truck drivers keep in their trunks?

I'd get an AK pistol. It is reliable, big boy rounds, and compact proven design.

>>31978463
Yes, they're just built terribly. Extremely finicky and magazines must be perfect.

>>31978404
Notorious Jam-o-matics

Not even joking. Their jamming is legendary. That's why there's really not anything like it made since.

Given their age they're even worse.

If you get one you need to replace springs and make sure the extractor is up snuff. After that you gotta polish the bolt and feed ramp super super smooth. After that you gotta find out which ammo jams the least which will probably be high quality ball ammo.

And then after all that you need to make sure it's as clean as possible.

And they still jam just not as much.

They're range toys. I like them, they look cool. Just not very much utility. Think about one of those Mac 10's they make if you want something similar.

hickock pls go

>>31978504

I'm reading about them now, it seems hit and miss with the reliability. But that's enough to deter me from something that I may need to rely on.

>>31978500
I thought about that, don't like them though.

>>31978465
It's just any gun you keep in your truck/car.

I panic bought an AR lower before the election I have no real use for so I'm considering putting together the cheapest AR I can with it in a few months and just leaving it in my trunk with a few mags in a case. I'm sure I'll literally never use it but it would be cool to have just in case.

With a couple of modifications you can make a tec-9 quite reliable. The problem with the tec-9 wasn't the design, but the crude manufacturing to keep up with demand.

>>31978465
Single-cab trucks don't have much room behind the seat, and you wouldn't keep a gun in the toolbox if you wanted to get to in quickly. So ideally you would have something small, but with more firepower than a full sized handgun

>>31978547

>>31978404
Theyre great. The one I had was accurate and reliable with the right range of ammo. Sold it because AWB and I hardly shot it anymore. Had the thing for like 5 years, the only time I ever had an fail to feed was with Hornady xtps. The thing would empty an entire mag into a 3' plate at 100yd without issue.

>>31978464
This person has never owned a tec.

>>31978436
Isn't that a DC9? Lack of threads show its a late production pos. Gotta watch for the first few thousand that had shroud/threads/solid front sight/tec9 marked receiver, those are the early guns which are arguably better quality.

>>31978463
Only issue i've had with mine is that it hates running low-power rounds.

>>31978404
A Glock 17/19 with a 30 round mag is the same thing, except better in every way and cheaper.

>>31978578
>>31978604
Still op don't get a tec or a Mac as a truck gun, they're ghetto blasters that WILL gain you extra scrutiny with law enforcement. Something like a scout rifle or short Ar would serve you infinitely better.

>>31978547
>With a couple of modifications
why not just get a different gun then

if you need to replace every part on it to make it viable, why not just spend the extra on a gun that doesnt require that in the first place

>>31978500
niggers fuck off, I'm not asking for other suggestions. Just a yes or no on the tec with reasons.

>>31978547
Thanks for the link.

I'm fine with modding non-fac mags, I can understand that. But cutting the firing pin and other things? No. Thanks for the link anyway m8.

>>31978642
We've given you a ton of very valid reasons why it's a horrible idea. You want to be the dumb fuck that trust his life to an outdated ghetto blaster that is simultaneously the biggest red flag possible in a traffic stop be my fucking guest. You should probably get some 22" rims and a Mexican flag decal for the back of your mall crawler while you're at it jose.

>>31978642
You're the nigger wanting a Tec-9

>>31978662
Shrekt

>>31978404
Get a cobray m11 and steel mags for it. More than reliable enough and cheap. And if it's found people think you like 90s cop movies, not columbine.

I've got a pre-ban threaded version with 2 original mags. I've put maybe 2k rounds through it (all walmart ball) and I can't recall it ever jamming. Bought it at a gun show, so don't know if it had polishing or not.

ITT: Jealous pricks.

>>31978733
You want to run ball ammo in a truck gun? Im not jealous, I had one, it's a horrible truck gun unless you're doing drivebys or selling heroin.

>>31978662
>>31978693
You've given me one reason, and then did something I didn't ask for. If I'd wanted your opinion on what glock or ar I wanted I would have asked for it, but instead I asked for opinions on the tec 9, of which you've given me. You people telling everyone to buy a glock in every non-glock thread are faggots.

>>31978635
Its not every part, just a couple of key parts, like the striker, and firing pin.
The reason why not to get another gun is because of iconic image of the pistol. The same reason why people still prefer to use M1 Garands when an AR-10 can do the same job, because of the feel of the M1 Garand is like no other.
Also the tec-9 is very compact for what it does, having 30 rounds of 9mm in semi auto, while being half the size of most other sub-guns. While a glock-17 with a 30 round mag isn't as controllable as the tec-9 because you can hold the tec-9 around the mag.

>>31978404
Honestly, the biggest reason the TEC-9 jams is because of aftermarket magazines. For some reason, aftermarket TEC-9 mags are atrocious. Whereas factory made magazines actually work well.

If you get a TEC-9, stick with factory made mags and you should be ok.

I think you know deep down inside how absolutely stupid it is to use a tec for anything important, you just came here seeking validation only to find the contrary.

>>31978762
I read about that, it seems to be a simple fix for the aftermarket mags though, I would still try to stick with factory mags.

>>31978404
Shit gun

If you REALLY want one consider the Burger & Thomet updated tec 9 they are starting to import. A bit more expensive but they make quality shit.

If I really wanted a pseudo smg pistol thing I'd probably get a B&T TP9, Uzi pro if they're not shit, or an mp5k like the zenith one. Ideally these would get sbr'd

>>31978753
Or you know you can get an ak pistol and a brace for less money and have a more reliable, more accurate, more powerful firearm that will easily fit in any truck cab. With the option of 75rd drums, in a caliber that actually kills things larger than hood rats.

>>31978632
>>31978662
>that WILL gain you extra scrutiny with law enforcement

Why does this matter? What will happen?

I mean, you could also have an AR or a glock with DA EXTENDO, wouldn't that make an LEO just as mad? Why does it matter anyways?

>>31978776
you've given me one (1) and that is it's reliability. A cop probably won't give a shit if I tell him I've got a tec 9 just like you probably wouldn't give a shit if I told you I have a 9 inch dick. The reliability, as you quoted two posts here saying that the ammo needs to be stout to feed properly, is easily fixed. You also quoted the guy linking to a video showing how to fix the other problems, problems that no one really has seeing as they're not that common or are retardedly easy to fix.

Go fondle your plastic and fuck off nigger.

>>31978820
It matters because you will be profiled as a criminal no matter what with the tec, in the mind of a cop it has no other purpose than to be a criminals gun. Almost everyone has an AR or a Glock, the only people in HIS mind that have tecs are criminals. Expect to spend an extra 20 minutes waiting for backup only to have your shit torn apart while farva calls 5 different agencies checking you and your ghetto blaster.

>>31978680

kek, btfo

>>31978828
>cop probably won't give a shit if I tell him I've got a tec 9
For one, it automatically puts you into one of two categories: Wannabe gangster and aspiring school shooter

>>31978856
just like a 10/22 would do right? You know, with it's history of being involved in school shootings and all.

>>31978828
Reliability is more than just one category you fucking moron. We've talked about it not cycling low pressure ammo, hollow points FTF, magazines causing FTF, and QC causing issues. That alone should show you how shitty this gun is.
Problems with this gun are the norm not the exception, as this thread has proven.

>>31978876
Well no, because almost everyone has a 10/22 whereas school shooters and criminals lust after the tec9. If they were as common as ARs it wouldn't be an issue but as it is now there's probably more tecs in criminal hands than legal ones.

>>31978853
Why? Because it's a "nigger gun"? Isn't an AK a Muslim terrorist gun?

What makes you think the tec is so much worse?

>>31978883
and all of these issues have simple fixes, as you could probably read above. You're just caught up on the fact that I don't want a glawk brand glawk and don't like you for telling me I should buy one instead of the gun this thread is about. I've already got an AR and I don't want it as a truck gun, I don't want a glock either, if I wanted to use either of those I wouldn't have made this thread talking about the tec 9.

>>31978932

>What makes you think the tec is so much worse?

Because it's not a glock.

Just buy a glock 17 with the extended clip. Same idea and proven design

>>31978976
fucking kek you guys just keep coming.

>>31978932
Yes. Same answer to the 10/22 question, cops are normalized to white middle class people having AR's/AKs/uzis and all sorts of other military style high capacity people slayers, some just have no practical purpose outside of the criminal world and therefore raise suspicions. Think about what you'd normally see at an open carry protest, I can almost guarantee you won't find a Tec whereas you will find a tec on any bad block in any major metropolitan area.

>>31979083
I haven't even told you to buy a glock lol i told you to get a folding ak like any normal human being that wants a reliable compact do all truck gun.

>>31979094
You're the only one to recommend any gun other than a glock here then. Either way, it wasn't pertaining to the OP.

>>31979122
Because the op is pants on head retarded to the point of being potentially dangerous.

>>31979184
for asking about a tec 9 as a truck gun? Nigger I asked a simple question, got plenty of answers, and decided against spending the money on it. You're still here arguing with me about it, this is fun.

>>31979286
>not wanting to burn down your truck

Jesus Christ the point isn't that it's a dumb ghetto gun. I mean it IS but there's nothing wrong with that. Fucking Mosins are Commie guns. Shotguns are redneck guns. AR's are tact-out mall ninja guns. We like guns for different reasons. Hell, I even like ghetto guns. People give you shit about it but it really doesn't matter why you like what you like.

The point is that it's an objectively bad gun from a self defense standpoint. And I'm assuming "truck gun" falls into the self defense role. If it's a "truck gun" as in "keep it in your car for impromptu plinking sessions" then shit, get it and have fun. If it's "in case I maybe need to use it in self defense" it's a very bad choice. Like bad enough a Hi-point pistol is a better choice. And given how much tec-9s go for most new guns you find in any given gunshop will fall into your price range and be a better choice.

Regardless of what you pick, get a chain or lock box for it. Chances are higher it will get stolen than you grabbing it for SHTF.

>>31978932
It's an iconic crack dealers gun that earned it's reputation in the 90's. It was bought in swathes by poor black people who wanted a high capacity firearm to discharge out of a slow moving rustbucket. It's a reputation earned in America during those times. The AK equivalency doesn't hold because there was no islamic gangs running the drug trade throughout america engaging in bloody street battles for a decade.

>>31979511
This is 4chan though, more so its /k/

>>31978404
600 fucking dollars? If you're determined to be a 1990s rapper, you can get one for like $100.

Or make your own fucking gun out of some plastic tubing. It'll be just as good.

>>31978404
If you want a 9mm gun with high capacity I would highly advise against a Tec-9, they're really not very good.

Durability is poor (the plastic is known to crack on some models if you shoot anything heavier than 124gr), it generally only handles a select few brands of ammo very well, the magazines are shite, by far the weakest link in this family of firearms.

I'll suggest an MPA9 to you instead, pic related.
Much more reliable.
Much more durable.
Can shot 147gr ammo with no issues.
Magazines aren't shit.
It's still being made so you can get warranty work and replacement parts for it.

I mean, if you want it really to just have it, sure, go for it, but know that it's not something that's really dependable in case you have to shoot at someone.

>>31978436
>$600 for that trash is unreal
Not really, they're not made anymore and are collectible.

I mean they're not good, but they're 80's and 90's history.

A bit better quality, but the nicest ones (as nice as they get) are the old Interdynamics KG9 and KG99 pistols, the latter being a rare exempt open-bolt pistol, so that's gonna be expensive.

It really is night and day between pic related and a later DC9, in terms of quality, fit and finish, but you're still dealing with pretty awful magazines regardless.

>>31979216
You should get a Glock.

>>31978733
the earlier TEC-9 are MUCH better. They got (badly) simplified/cheapified later

>>31982561
The TEC9 is already a cheaper version of the KG99.

>>31978404
On a related note, I'm looking at getting a Hawk 982 for a truck gun. Does anyone have any experience with them?

>>31982592
Does the pre-ban open bolt have any differences? I didn't know of any

>>31982693
KG9 is literally the KG99 but open-bolt, same company and manufacturing.

It's when they shut down and were bought, then turned into Intratec when they started churning out crap

I've seen episodes of COPS where they light up drunk truckers using their truck guns. Just FYI,truck cabins are not bullet proof. They're tombs.

>>31982592

Tec9 is actually a better design than the KG99 due to the addition of the metal buffer piece.

KG99 has a habit of cracking frame due to a lack of said buffer piece.

>>31978876
Theirs not a rapper named 10/22 so it just lets you know the tec 9 is a nigger gun.

>truck gun
If it's anything but a 9" 300 memeout ar pistol, you've fucked up

>>31978404
I'm not gonna read through this thread or comment on the tec9 because there is only one point.

Anytime anyone asks or reccomends anything for a "truck gun" that is an AK/AR pistol, anything pistol caliber, its just retarded.

If you are actually in a situation where you are moving from your carry pistol, which you should have, you should be escalating GREATLY. It should be nothing less than a full size rifle with 30rd+ mag. Or, alternatively, you forgot your pistol in the porta john or some shit, but the fact that you aren't pulling something concealable or carryable, why isn't it a full sized gun?

Acceptable truck guns

Shit-tier
590a1 20in
Good tier
a good AK/AR
AK SBR
AUG
((Tavor))
Best tier
FAL/G3
VEPR/Saiga-12
VEPR/Saiga 308/54r
SCAR
Somewhere between operator as fuck and retarded tier:
Precision bolt gun

I can accept a pistol caliber PDW or P90 for a dedicated passenger gun and a big bore revolver for a designated vehicular combat driver's gun.

>>31983906
Some states don't allow you to keep a loaded rifle or shotgun in your car, but allow a handgun.

AK and AR pistols aren't necessarily the most useful given the lack of a stock (well, you can kinda use the buffertube as one).

>>31983947
If law comes into it then yeah, maybe other options could be considered, but my point stands that if you are actually going to your truck gun you are in a pretty fucked up situation and its not time for half measures. The term itself "truck gun" tells that you have basically unlimited space and should have a big gun an several mags.

I said no to ar/ak pistols for the same reasons, although I can't deny they are a handy small package with a lot of power and ammo, but really short barrel and no stock so fuck.

Also, I think if your truck gun isn't just a full fuck you destruction gun it should either be something fun or practical, kinda assuming at that point that you are a country boy so something like a fun plinker or a hunting rifle/shotgun.

Having a glorified pistol as your truck gun is dumb. Might as well just get a 33 round mag/biggest mag they sell for your carry pistol.

>>31983993
Short barrel isn't necessarily the biggest detriment, 7.62x39mm performs pretty decently from a Draco sized gun, and while 5.56x45mm actually fares pretty poorly in barrels below 14.5", there's other chamberings such as .300BLK
The lack of stock is the biggest detriment here.

Another reason people pick 'truck guns' as not the nicest things is that the biggest risk with keeping a gun in your truck is that it's stolen. It's not guaranteed, it may not even happen to you, but it's the biggest risk of losing it.

>>31978500
>/k/ hates the correct answer
Whodathunk

>>31983906
Truck gun is just a generic term for a firearm kept in your vehicle. I drive a car, I've got plenty of space in it seeing as it's a full size sedan, but not anywhere near unlimited. If I have a battle rifle in it, the only place I could put it would be the trunk, and I don't feel like jumping over the seat to pull down the back row just to get a full size rifle that I wouldn't be able to properly maneuver with inside the cabin anyway. Thank you for your thoughtful response though m8, it made me think.

>>31978404
>tec 9
>good
Innaccurate shitty spray and pray garbage. If you own a tec 9 that isn't fully automatic you belong in an institution. A semi auto tec 9 does nothing better than a full size 9mm pistol and everything worse.

A truck gun is a gun that is kept in a truck.
