Intratec TEC-9 9mm Pre-Ban Semi-Automatic Pistol with Threaded 5″ Barrel and Ventilated Shroud
This pre-ban Intratec TEC-9 delivers the original 1980s configuration that collectors look for—threaded 5″ steel barrel, perforated barrel shroud, and left-side sling loops that were later removed on post-ban models. Built with a polymer frame and carbon-steel upper, it preserves the unmistakable silhouette that made the series a pop-culture staple. No magazine is included, making this a solid candidate for display, parts sourcing, or range use once a compatible magazine is obtained.
Condition
Overall Condition: Fair – Extensive signs of prior use and handling.
Bore Condition: Fair – Generally clean with slight corrosion; rifling is worn with some loss of definition.
What’s Included
- Two factory Intratec perforated steel barrel shrouds (ventilated, screw-on)
This pistol is a true pre-ban example, retaining features that define the early TEC-9 lineage: threaded muzzle for accessories, full-length ventilated shroud, and dual sling loops on the receiver’s left side. These elements were deleted or modified on later TEC-DC9 and AB-10 variants, giving this gun added collector relevance.
The action is straight-blowback, fired by a left-side reciprocating charging handle with a round knob—another hallmark of the original design. A paddle-style magazine release and a cross-bolt safety keep controls simple and familiar.
Constructed in Miami, Florida during the late 1980s, the pistol pairs a polymer lower with a carbon-steel upper, balancing weight and durability. The steel barrel and shroud accept aftermarket barrel extensions or faux suppressors, a feature that fueled the model’s frequent appearances in 1980s–1990s film and television.
No magazine is provided, so capacity is limited to a single chambered round until a standard TEC-9 magazine is sourced. Once equipped, the pistol accepts widely available 10-, 20-, 32-, and 50-round double-stack magazines.
