How are you guys all liking your Tara TM-9? The reviews I have seen are horrible, but I would like to hear from everyday real people owners.
The "double action" first shot trigger pull is horrible. Think of the worst trigger pull you have ever had and then imagine it is worse than that. Like really really bad.
After the first shot, if you don't let the trigger return all the way but release it to the "first click" position (single action?) then the trigger and all subsequent shots (with this single action) are fine. So I expect to miss the target with my first shot, then hit it with the next shots.
Plus for me, whoever or whatever pinned the mags did a horrible job. I have 5 magazines. 2 are pinned to 9, 3 to 10 rounds, but one of my 10 round magazines will lock the slide open after 9 of the 10 rounds have been fired. No idea why. Buddy & I examined it plus one that works fine and we see no difference.
My Tara has maybe 500 rounds through it without any issues with the gun itself. All handloads, 115gr Campro projectiles with W231 powder. Always goes Bang. Feels fine in my hands. Works fine with my Glock 17 holster.
I much prefer the 9mm Norincos (Sig clones) over the Tara TM-9. However, I bought it because I wanted a low cost 9mm that I can put on my Form 6 for taking it over the US border for 3-gun matches once the zombie apocalypse is over and I can't bring Norincos over so at $300 regular price or $269 on sale, the Tara fits that bill (I do not own a Glock and am too cheap to buy one).
