Interdynamic AB of Sweden first tried to shop their 9x19mm Submachine gun design to military buyers. Their design didn't generate much interest amongst the military clients of the world, so they brought their design to the U.S. and it went to market as the open bolt semi automatic KG-9 pistol, which was bought in large numbers by criminals and often converted to full-auto.

In 1982 the ATF forced Interdynamic to redesign the KG-9 into a closed bolt system (the Open bolt design was too easy to convert to full auto). To say nothing of the fact that having an almost one pound bolt slam forward every time the weapon was fired greatly compromising any accuracy. Thus the Closed bolt KG-99 was born. It was around August of 1985 that Interdynamic ownership changed and the name was also changed to Intratec giving a new name of TEC-9 to the KG-99 gun. Nothing changed except the markings and the name, it was the same identical gun. Eventually the 1980s progressed and shows like "Miami Vice" popularized the KG-99/TEC-9. The fully automatic guns in that show were KG-99s legally converted to full auto by Title II manufacturers.

The design is identical to the KG-99 except for a few manufacturing changes mainly in the sight design and placement. The TEC-9 was a favored firearm during that time by gangs, especially the Cuban and Jamaican posses in Florida, due to its intimidating appearance and similarity to the fully automatic MP-9 submachine pistol. This is the most common version of the gun to appear in movies. In addition to the black and satin nickel versions of the full sized TEC-9, there are several 'mini' variations of the gun, missing the barrel shield and sporting a slightly shorter barrel. These are known as the TEC-9 Minis. The TEC-9 series of pistols was built between 1985-1990.

Intratec TEC-DC9

Intratec TEC-DC9 - California Legal variant built after 1990 - 9x19mm

The TEC-DC9 pistol first appeared in 1990. It was a renamed version of the original TEC-9 pistol. The TEC-DC9 was the first assault pistol designed to comply with a legislative ban after the TEC-9 was specifically named in the California state gun ban. Intratec had been manufacturing the TEC-9 for years, but after the 1989 Schoolyard shooting in Stockton and the subsequent Ban on "named guns", Intratec complied with the law, by simply renaming the gun. Thus the "DC" nomenclature meant "Designed for California" because the DC9 was able to be sold in California after the 1989 Roberti-Roos Assault Weapon Law banned the sale of the TEC-9.

The most noticeable external difference between the TEC-9 and the later TEC-DC9 is that rings to hold the sling was moved from the side of the gun with the cocking handle, to a removable stamped metal clip in the back of the gun. Though slight, it allows one to know which version of the gun they are looking at. Since the TEC-9 and the DC-9 can swap parts, we sometimes see DC-9 barreled upper receivers mated to TEC-9 Lower receivers. Usually those are the full auto versions of the DC-9 seen in films. The TEC-DC9 series of pistols was built between 1990-1994.

In the wake of the Clinton Assault Weapon Ban of 1994 (known as the Omnibus Crime Bill of 1994), Intratec had to alter their guns to eliminate the threaded barrels and heat shields, since such 'cosmetic features' were deemed dangerous by politicians. Despite much hyperbole, no one could truly explain how cosmetic features made a firearm either more or less dangerous. Intratec showed a sense of humor and a defiance of poorly written laws, by renaming even more cosmetically altered guns. AB ("After Ban") was the new name of the AB-10 which was the 1994 Assault Weapon Ban compliant version of the same gun.
