In 2004, it introduced the MP9, which it describes as a compact, lightweight submachine gun that is perfect for personal rotection and self-defense. The gun’s design follows Steyr’s TMP with a few minor improvements to the frame and sights, although the gun is essentially the same. The semiautomatic TP-9 has an interesting recoil operated, rotating barrel, locked breech action that is machined on state- of-the-art CNC equipment from 4140 steel. Upon firing, recoil drives the bolt and the barrel to the rear as one unit–which is locked together via lugs on the bolt that engage eight splines on the barrel–while a locking pin at the top of the barrel guide rides in a control cam cut in the barrel.
