Question: how has the TP9 been as far as reliability? That's my #1 concern. I have a shield plus PC but wanted something a tiny bit bigger for when I'm wearing bigger clothing.

Thank you for the review man! Unfortunately I had the same issues with the Prodigy and I got rid of it. I can’t trust those inexpensive double stack firearms. Reliable 2011 are running for $2,000 and more but I guess that’s what you get for a piece of mind. All firearms out of the box should run flawlessly without any break in periods

@johnd14103 ай бұрын
I think LFA has been working out the kinks as they go along. My full sizes Apollo 11 has been perfect. Its important to note that aftermarket magazines usually need to be "tuned" to the pistol to function 100%. The feed-lips are often out of spec for the specific pistol. This can also occur if you drop the magazine. The problems in this video seem unusual. I'd need to inspect the pistol.
@love4gtsandguns3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feedback. In actuality, I believe the issue I am having is the same as the original issue which is the trigger and grip module related. I sent it back to LFA again. The first time, they replaced the grip module but not the trigger which I believe the issue may be the trigger bow. Something is out of spec in that area.

I got the compact close to two months ago, have about 800 through it. The first 50 I had one brand of JHP jam, and slide would lock back with one round left. Since then it’s eaten everything and is hungry for more. I dunno, guess mine was built on a Wednesday. Sorry you got a lemon bro. LFA specifically says to order Checkmate mags and does not guarantee any other will work. Hope you get it sorted, mine is my new favorite.

LFA said it was the grip module and something with the slide initially so they replaced them. I let someone else try with the initial issue and even a 1911 guy at the range location. They all thought it was strange and couldn't get it to function with the mag inserted. Shot great if you put a round in the chamber and removed the mag. Not a bad question to rule out user error I guess. 😂 Hard to create this issue even as a gun newb though. Push the grip safety, pull the trigger... not rocket science.

Thanks for sharing……. I’m at 300+ RDS with mine…. The only issue I had with the checkmate mag was the slide locking back with one round in the mag.

That sucks though. I feel your pain.

I wanted this gun since they first announced the compact in fde/black. But every single person i know that got one has had issues right out the box. Some 2011s need a bit of break in, i understand that. But these are all straight up malfunctioning brand new. For a thousand dollars, to have that happen, to me is unacceptable. That being said i have heard from everyone that the customer service is great and they will take it back and re work it promptly. But again, it shouldnt have to be sent back to begin with in my opinion. Anyway, im enjoying your transparency and your content and i just subscribed!! Check out the mac 9 ds!!
