[Applause]

one of the most common questions I get

on any B&T video is James when the hell

is that TP 380 coming out as if like I'm

the guy who invented it I want this

thing to be in the US more than anyone

else I mean dude PCC that you can fit in

a fanny pack like I'm all about it so I

L this thing got to shoot it last year

in tune last year year before something

like that I'm elated I I love this thing

what's the deal what's going on with it

right now so I'm going to tell you what

I tell everybody else which is the truth

we're waiting on a couple of parts

that's the only delay they we have

like I don't remember how many hundreds

of them that are ready to come to the

United States and we're just waiting on

a part or two uh do we have an ETA at

all don't say yes you mean no I do not

know but I expect I'm hoping we are

hoping by at least early Q2 okay well I

I'm hoping so too now for those people

out here who have not seen my video on

this gun briefly what is it so it is a

miniaturized version scale down version

of the the MP9 it's only available in

semi-automatic unlike the full auto

variant of the MP9 / tp9 it doesn't have

that big rotating collar and and barrel

shroud it's a direct thread suppressor

um but it's this tiny little submachine

gun that will as if as demoed as as you

have all seen in James previous videos

of him drawing it out of a small fanny

pack with an extended magazine and an

optic and the stock all intach I mean

you can't do the suppressor obviously

but it fit into a a Bandicoot heel

Contex Bandicoot it all fit in there so

that was pretty wild very impressive he

looked like he was going to the beach

like I would never have known otherwise

and then he just pulls out this TP 380

out of his pocket this is my beach

protection man I need this I need my

sunscreen I need my SPF 30 and I need my

SPF 380 if you know what I'm saying 100%

nobody nobody was wiser that's for sure

so yeah if you want the ultimate and

concealability in a machine pistol uh

the TP 380 is for

you so the reset the trigger reset is so

short on the TP 380 that you can kind of

see this is two magazines roughly

there's your first trigger pull there's

everything else there's your first

trigger pull there's everything else 10

yards two magazines all dumped into

virtually one hole you would think right

like this thing's like a a Swiss Mac 11

you would think maybe it wouldn't be

that accurate maybe it wouldn't shoot

that well but with the acro on there uh

10 yards like it it really will throw

down okay so definitely coming out in

the next 5 months according to Chris

100% chance it's coming out and let's

let's get an even better question how

much is it going to cost oh I knew you

were going to ask me about okay all

right no no whatever I'll show myself

the door I have been memorizing

suppressor prices uh for the last two

days and I have completely ignored guns

so uh I'm going to get that to you maybe

you run it off across the bottom I want

to say like $1,800 m I mean it sounds

but I could be way low or maybe I could

be high so okay well look Chris we just

wanted an update more importantly they

wanted an update I listen to you guys I

read the comments stay tuned we're

bringing you more from Shoto
