The TEC-DC9 was produced in Miami, Florida in the early 1990s, and this example falls within the 1991–1994 window noted for the DC9 series. It is a pre-ban configuration manufactured prior to the 1994 federal restrictions that specifically named the TEC-9/TEC-DC9.
Construction pairs a steel upper with a polymer lower/grip frame bearing the Intratec logo. The 5 inch steel barrel sits inside a large-hole, two-piece perforated shroud, capped by a short cylindrical muzzle extension. A rear wire-loop sling attachment is fixed to the upper receiver/top cover, and a black nylon sling is installed.
Operation is simple blowback with a closed bolt. Controls include a top-mounted cylindrical charging knob and a detachable box magazine. Sighting is via a simple receiver-integral rear notch.
This pistol carries a non-factory uniform yellow/tan over-coating throughout, often described as a gold paint job, applied to both the pistol and the included magazine. The right-side rollmark reads "INTRATEC MIAMI FL. 9MM LUGER MOD: TEC-DC9 PATENTS PENDING," and it features a D-prefix serial plate associated with the DC9 series.
It is a full-size 9mm with a stated capacity of 32+1 and comes with one 32-round magazine. The top-mounted charging handle, perforated shroud, and tubular upper give it the configuration associated with the DC9 lineup of this era.
