The MP9/TP9, introduced by B&T in 2001, is a lightweight, compact 9mm personal defense weapon designed for versatility and performance in close-quarters. The MP9 (select-fire) is intended for military and law enforcement, while the TP9 (semi-auto) is for civilian use. Weighing just over 3 lbs., it features ambidextrous controls, a high-strength polymer body, and a folding stock. Notable is its barrel shroud, which doubles as a tri-lug suppressor mount. Ideal for vehicle crews, surveillance teams, and protective details, it offers high-volume, accurate firepower in tight spaces.
