This is good info, HOWEVER... if you attempt to clean a firearm without checking to see if the weapon is CLEAR, you probably shouldn't have a firearm to begin with.
@@MrBownze and NEVER drink 🍻 while cleaning your weapon. Seems like novice advice but you'd be surprised when a false sense of confidence and familiarity meets a bottle of alcohol.
So glad this important information is coming out 38 years after the gun was first released. My grandchildren will live their whole lives safe from this potential disaster. When they're born.
Every time I disassemble mine and hear that striker slam forward, I suspected it had enough force to discharge a round. Thanks for confirming this. Like you mentioned, many guns can discharge during the disassembly process.I have personally known two people who have shot a hole through their hand disassembling Glocks.
If you do its because they just flat out shot themselves because thats not how glocks work bud. A glock slide does not lift up n off its frame it slides off the front because its on rails. If a glock is cocked the striker is hooked on the back of the cruciform keeping it from sliding forward on the rails and being disassembled. You're either outta line or your mind is playing tricks on you
Thanks I appreciate the feedback. There are times I want to jump in the political direction but I resist as my main goal is to be a firearms content channel.
If you have to disassemble a Tec9 with a round in the chamber you keep the safety on and remove the rear cap which releases the spring pressure. Its tight and under load but can be done with a screw driver or coin until close to the end then by hand to hold it when it releases but its the safest way in this kind of case if for some reason you couldn't clear the gun first.
Hi there.. Big Question !!!! Very Hot Currently happening Situation with the , Sig Sauer P320.. lots of people, professionals , police officers, and all alike are getting them selves shot by their own weapon still in the gun Holster with out touching the weapon it fires a round. ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT... How could a gun fire around with out a trigger pull?? I was planning on purchasing this gun. But now not so much !.. I don't know if only the Sig Sauer p320 has this Issues. Or maybe the Sig 45mm has the same problem..? Could you check this out. And figure out what's the problem that is currently happening . I believe the latest one was Dec 2022.. Thanks.
Thank you for the information I own 1 of the tec-9 when thay frist came out and i love it .i also noticed that the price of them has gone up a lot into the thousand in some places for a so call bad gun it is doing pretty well as for collector
I accidently set a primer off while seating it, I hit the thing too hard, and it stung my fingers pretty good. I was using a lee loader to make a few rimmed .45 rounds.
I have had 2 of these over the years, still have one. I do take it out of the safe and run several mags through it and it always runs flawless for me and I do enjoy shooting and owning it. I have 3 factors mags for it and they all work well. Thanks for the information in this video.
@@ProfessionalLawnCareLLC just my 2 cents , if I'm not mistaking, 115 grain steel case full metal, is what she longs for, have u tried a different mag and,/tweaking the Allen key on the opposite side of the charging handle,? Hope it helps, because as I understood it, they aren't gold but not junk as well, the company was Rollin them out as fast as they could and quality control was kinda on the back burner , idk if that's facts,
Thank you sir for for some of the best safety issues for this particular gun. People not familiar with this gun are the one's who would make this mistake.
Great video. It would help to keep the lower and upper pointed in the same direction when explaining the inner workings. But, then again what do I know?
Muy buen canal y explicacion del amigo, la verdad me será de mucha ayuda para corregir una falla de la Tec 9, ya que al disparar se queda como en modo automatico disparando de 2 o 3 tiros
Parece que su pistola tiene un problema con el fiador que no engancha correctamente al percutor. Puede ser solo un fiador débil o un resorte de gatillo o podría ser que las piezas estén dañadas. No debe considerarse seguro y debe ser revisado por un armero.
@@CraigsGunChannel Ready, I have corrected the fault, I would like to send you some photos of a tuned Tec-9, that is, I adapted some accessories and it looks like a submachine gun, greetings from Mexico
Since they have been out of production for so long, you will need to do some searching online or in gun shows to find them. I do not believe any are currently being produced new.
Good info, just a reminder that you should ALWAYS follow your gun safety rules. before watching this i always thought to myself, " how do people "accidentally shoot themselves" cleaning their gun... well, this is one way.
Very interesting... Recently have been looking at different firearms and their functions... What makes this one so unreliable? Is the mechanism itself just hard on the parts? Just poor manufacturing of the parts themselves?
Quality control is a big issue. Some run great, a lot don’t. I have an Interdynamic KG99 and two Tec 9s. The KG99, seems to run pretty good, one Tec-9 runs “okay” and the other jams a couple times per mag. I like them but there are much better guns for self defense. They are just part of my collection.
Thanks Craig. Awesome Info. P.S So what place does this Gun have in my everyday use? Should I use it for Home Defense or as a Car Gun? I appreciate your time. Cheers.
The TEC 9 was offered with the ventilated barrel shroud, and then later that option was removed leaving just an exposed barrel. Do you have one that has a shroud but no vent holes? I am not aware of them being in that configuration. If possible, could you send me a picture so I can see it?
Tengo una tec _dc9 y es un dolor de cabeza dispara uno o dos y ya no sube los demas en ocaciones ni siquiera sube el cartucho a accionar la corredera cambie el cargador y es la misma no se como resolver esto
Es probable que sea la revista la que causa el problema. Una cosa simple que puede intentar es rociar el cargador con aceite para armas, que a veces los hará funcionar en un apuro.
There are so many potential items it is hard to tell without seeing it. If it is clear of all ammunition try pulling the bolt back then while holding it back try the trigger. If it can be pulled back then it sounds like the striker or bolt is getting hung up on the sear or the sear may be damaged. It is essentially a flat sheet metal part and can be damaged. It is also possible a foreign object, empty shell case etc may have gotten caught up in the fire control assembly. Just be sure it is empty and the chamber is clear before working on it.
Honestly I have a 50 round and a 30 the 50 fits perfect but it’s like it’s too far up when you go to rack it and get caught in the chamber but with my 30 round it’s hard to get in you have to shove it in and wiggle back and forth but cycles no problem but I got it used from the gun store for 7 and lubed it up nice and running like a champ.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You are right to say that a loaded weapon should never be taken apart, however, sometimes people forget to check and accidents happen. I made this video to illustrate the odd nature of what can happen with this particular firearm as it does present a somewhat hidden danger.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. While these are far from what I would call a quality, or even a good firearm, there is still something abut them that I like. Fun on the range is about the only thing they are good for though.
Tell that to the people buying them for thousands of dollars on gunbroker. These things only appreciate in value, and any collector would be very lucky to add one to their collection, a definite piece of firearms history
Saw a video where a guy got executed with an automatic tech nine to the face, can't find an automatic tech nine demonstration it must be illegal I guess
I have two different models and have never discharged accidentally I have several other firearms in my possession and none of them have ever aspired accidentally I think operator error might be involved I've heard stupid people say if you play with guns long enough you will shoot yourself I do not subscribe to that level of intelligence thank you for your opinion.
I've had to disassemble my buddy's locked up ar, and his Ruger mk3 on separate occasions while they were loaded, he didnt understand having to oil them until I told him about it
No one ever covers this ..about the right type of ammunition. We're talking clean 9 mm rounds. you put into the firearm. Calicos are notorious for jamming if you don't have the right ammunition. No Walmart rounds kids.
I’m not sure if I follow what the danger is here. No way in the World would I work on a firearm before removing its magazine and auctioning it to clear the chamber and checking the chamber was clear and releasing the working parts. Do that and there’s no chance of a negligent discharge. You can’t engineer against stupid. Stupid people do stupid things.
Nothing can make up for not always following good safety procedures. this video was actually made due to the unusual nature of the guns assembly. With its peculiar safety it can be disassembled and be able to fire without realizing it could. ALWAYS verifying a weapon is cleared before working on any firearm should always be followed.
Писали что это было любимое оружие негритянских банд в США....даже закон об оружии изменили...оружие стреляющее очередями запретили продавать.Теперь эта ,штука, стреляет только одиночными выстрелами.
This isn't tec 9 issue shoot not even a high hi point issue either. Literally hadda double read the description😂 but yea but ay if people need reminders they sale guns with stickers that say shoots without a mag so they can at least get a the point of it being a gun
Terrible, terrible design. You have to use a cross pin that must be rotated to first block the firing pin to then, in sequence, allow the separation of upper and lower. Amateur night at IntraTec.
This is good info, HOWEVER... if you attempt to clean a firearm without checking to see if the weapon is CLEAR, you probably shouldn't have a firearm to begin with.
I agree that you should make it a practice to ALWAYS check a firearms status before handling. Even if you "know" its not loaded.
You've been chosen as the Master of the Obvious ( Ecco).
BRAVO

use to own a tec9 .never thought of this happening. thanks for the video. it could save a life
Glad I could help
This is still the content I love to see! after a lot of the other "gun tubers" have just gotten silly, you keep it real. Thank you for that!
Thanks I appreciate the feedback. There are times I want to jump in the political direction but I resist as my main goal is to be a firearms content channel.
Agreed! Kinda like he's talking about the finer points of *GUNS*
Subbed!
Where can I find parts for the intra-tec 9mm?

I accidently set a primer off while seating it, I hit the thing too hard, and it stung my fingers pretty good. I was using a lee loader to make a few rimmed .45 rounds.
This is very similar to German P-08 Lugers, which have functioning single shot uppers when removed from lower frame.
I have had 2 of these over the years, still have one. I do take it out of the safe and run several mags through it and it always runs flawless for me and I do enjoy shooting and owning it. I have 3 factors mags for it and they all work well. Thanks for the information in this video.
Thanks for the comments and for watching, I am glad you like it.
Mine is an ap9 luger and is junk, jams constantly. From everything I am seeing online that is a common occurrence.

Always do the funny with the bolt before taking off the assembly pin to make sure there is no pew

Pro-tip dont disassemble a glock if its loaded.
Hahaha
Shouldn’t own one if your tht sliw
Crazy that I found this video *after* I killed my window. Dammit
Idiot
Just purchased a AB-10 EXCELLENT VIDEO

A good rule to always follow.

Plinking. Solely a fun weapon. Too high of a risk of jamming when you need it.
If it's all you have, keep it clean and oiled, and use it just long enough to get something better. Then retire it to a plinker
My TEC-9 does not have the vent holes in front. Is that an older model? SN 52XXX

@@CraigsGunChannel I’ve fixed it and now when I go to shoot it’s having light primer strikes and has not fired
That's crazy man!
That's assuming you can work all the kinks out so it can shoot a whole magazine without jamming.
That is not an incorrect statement...
Honestly I have a 50 round and a 30 the 50 fits perfect but it’s like it’s too far up when you go to rack it and get caught in the chamber but with my 30 round it’s hard to get in you have to shove it in and wiggle back and forth but cycles no problem but I got it used from the gun store for 7 and lubed it up nice and running like a champ.
Cool content, but why would you disassemble a gun without unchambering it
You never should, which is why I made this video, to show what can happen.
How could it, the jam9 won't shoot.
I know these guns are junk but I would like to own one just for the fool factor. Great video Sir.
Very informative information to know thank you

Well done, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
What you ACTUALLY do in that situation is put the gun back together then clear it
Saw a video where a guy got executed with an automatic tech nine to the face, can't find an automatic tech nine demonstration it must be illegal I guess
Never disassemble your TEC 9,,,,,just admire it for its glorious beauty !! 😂
Great info. Thanks!
You are welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it.
The gun is not bad its the Ammo and magazine
Holy shit. How was it even legal to sell like that?
The A Model Uzi semi auto can pretty much do the same thing
That's good to know, thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.
epilogue :never open any weapon before removing all its ammo and emptying its barrel !
I have two different models and have never discharged accidentally I have several other firearms in my possession and none of them have ever aspired accidentally I think operator error might be involved I've heard stupid people say if you play with guns long enough you will shoot yourself I do not subscribe to that level of intelligence thank you for your opinion.
This possibility would definitely be due to operator error, care should always be taken to ensure the firearm is empty before handling.
thats dangerous, even if it should be cleared by youfirst
none of this applies to the open bolt full auto ones btw
TLDW: 10:17
You're welcome.
As with any firearm please unload prior to disassembly . Common sense...
The real question is
Why do people disassemble a loaded firearm?
The answer is because they deserve a Darwin Award.
Natural selection
The person never thought it was loaded.
I've had to disassemble my buddy's locked up ar, and his Ruger mk3 on separate occasions while they were loaded, he didnt understand having to oil them until I told him about it
This has always worked for me: unload the gun before you F with it ;)
Why not just make sure it's empty like you supposed to
The danger of too much fun…
IF I HAVE THAT GUN I WILL PRINT A BIG WARNING.....JUST TO MAKE SURE I WILL NOT FORGET .....LOL
Allow me to render this video useless, ready for it?……Clear all firearms before disassembly.
No one ever covers this ..about the right type of ammunition. We're talking clean 9 mm rounds. you put into the firearm. Calicos are notorious for jamming if you don't have the right ammunition. No Walmart rounds kids.

CASING, NOT CARTRIDGE I USED TO OWN 2 OF THESE JAM-O-MATICS. .... JUNK
so basically tec 9 shouldnt be anyones first gun
Or 2nd or 3rd really...
Look at his lil hands.
Who would disassemble a loaded firearm?!?
No one should, but sadly it does happen.

What a pile, and worst design they should have at least designed the magazine into the pistol grip.
Terrible, terrible design. You have to use a cross pin that must be rotated to first block the firing pin to then, in sequence, allow the separation of upper and lower. Amateur night at IntraTec.
Let us not forget, Freddie Gibbs shot an African-American man 9 times with this very gun..
Didn't the Columbine kids use a Tech-9?
Jeez, who wastes primers like this in 2020?
😳
if ur not smart to clear ur firearm before maintaining it. you shouldn't be owning a firearm.
👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the thumbs up 👍
Why would you disassemble a loaded firearm anyways ? Blank or live ammo common sense will save your life more this video pointless
Almost nobody does that but he wants to see the outcome if you would do that.
Worst gun ever!!!
