I've watched MAC's review on Military Arms Channel and he had some positive and some negative.
I agree partially with dawg in that most magazine reviews of guns are pretty chickenshit. They aren't critical enough on parts that suck and need work. I have slowly framed my channel away from this line of thinking since honesty gives my audience the best information.
There are a few channels built this way (MAC, Nutnfancy, Yeager, TNoutdoors9) and I very highly respect their opinions. I think most people see their information as valuable for the most part.
Now, the biggest criticism of the US model TP9 is that it has a double-action-only trigger with a slide-mounted decocker. This is my exact reasoning for why the Walther P99QA is not a good self defense gun - if the gun is unintentionally decocked, it is completely inoperable. On the standard TP9 and P99, the trigger is double/single action in that the decocker does not rule the gun inoperable. It simply makes the trigger pull longer without taking your gun out of the fight.
If they bring the SA/DA model to the US market, I see it as a great option. But for defensive uses, a man named Murphy usually shows his ugly face when you need to see it the least. I prefer my guns to go bang every time I pull the trigger on a loaded chamber.
