The B&T TP9-N is the semiautomatic version of the MP-9-N. It features a smaller frame when compared to other weapons in its class. The TP9 sports a top mounted picatinny rail with plenty of rail space for mounting a wide range of optics as well as two side mounted rails for the installation of lights and lasers. It also has low profile back up iron sights in the form of a fixed front post sight and a windage adjustable rear peep sight. The safety switch is ambidextrous and easy to engage/disengage. The charging handle is reminiscent of the AR-15, and in the event the handle gets stuck, there is a hold cut into the slide: insert a 9mm round into the hole and use it to safely cock/clear the weapon. The TP9-N was optimized for covert operations in addition to an incredible personal defense weapon.
