Ever since I saw this thread I've been enamoured with this compact little subgun. I've contacted wolverine to ask if they will import it and I was told it was something they would look into if enough people showed interest. For this reason I created this thread to gauge member interest and hopefully prod Wolverine into bring this nifty little subgun to our shores. Specs can be found on the B&T Website and a brief write up can be found here (as per the article B&T is considering plans to import the TP380 to the US). Since it is more than likely going to be imported in a pistol format hopefully this means that we Canadians can avoid the 5 round magazine restriction that makes guns like the TP9 and VZ61 less fun . Anyway here are some photos from the linked article and a quick video overview of the TP380 (original video and article can be found here).
UPDATE (21/04/2016) Wolverine has started the FRT process for the TP380. Depending on whether the RCMP wants to examine a sample this process could take a while. Also we have no idea on what the magazine limit will be until we have an FRT (fingers crossed). Expected retail price on these (as of this date) is $1410 plus taxes and shipping.
I also sent B&T an email yesterday about a 9mm version and here is the response I got from them.
I think that has made B&Ts stance pretty clear, want a 9mm TP380 buy our TP9. No word on a 7.62x25 version I will update as soon as we get more info.Dear Sir
The 9x19 version of the TP380 is the proven TP9 – you can get it thru our Canadian agent Wolverine.

I also added a comparison picture between the TP9 and TP380 to the first post (thanks for the reminder gwhysow)
Thank you to Ryan from Wolverine for helping me figure out me where to post this thread. Big thanks as well to Grumpy Wolverine for answering our questions and keeping us updated
