Additional information about the TEC-DC9M
Some people have wondered how we know Dylan's pistol was the DC Mini model, so here's some additional information about this pistol.
There are multiple TEC-9 models & variants:
- TEC-DC9
- TEC-DC9S (stainless steel)
- TEC-DC9K (stainless steel Kote finish)
- TEC-DC9M (mini)
- TEC-DC9MS (mini stainless steel)
- TEC-DC9MK (mini stainless steel Kote finish)
How do we know Dylan had the TEC-DC9M model?
There is a difference between the TEC-9, the TEC-DC9, and the TEC-DC9M. The TEC-9 and TEC-DC9 are different models. The TEC-DC9M (mini) is a smaller variant of the TEC-DC-9.
The company that manufactured the TEC-9 pistols, Interdynamic USA/Intratec, was created by George Kellgren and Carlos Garcia, but no longer exists. The pistol known as the TEC-9 was originally the KG-99. The KG-99 was rebranded as the TEC-9 in 1984 when Kellgren sold his share of the company to his co-founder, Garcia.
Was Dylan’s pistol an original TEC-9 or the “DC” model (TEC-DC9)?
As far as “TEC-9s” go, the TEC-9 is the original model.
After the Cleveland Elementary School shooting in 1989, California passed the Roberti-Roos assault weapons ban, specifically naming the TEC-9. To get around the ban, in 1990, Intratec renamed the TEC-9 to the TEC-DC9 and changed some features to make it legal in California. The “DC” stands for “Designed/Designated for California.”
We know Dylan’s gun was manufactured after the 1989 ban because his gun had two post-ban features:
A single-mount sling point. When the TEC-9 was renamed to the TEC-DC9, the new model was made with a single-mount sling point on the back of the gun instead of two sling points with one on the left side of the barrel shroud. Dylan’s gun has a single-mount sling point, therefore it is a “DC” model.
Stamped sights. The front sight on the original TEC-9 was a high-quality button sight. Stamped front sights (spot welded onto the gun) were introduced around 1987. However, a pistol with both a stamped front sight and a single-mount sling point is definitely a post-ban TEC and is therefore a “DC” model.
How do we know Dylan’s TEC was the mini model (DC-9M)?
There is a difference between the TEC-DC9 and TEC-DC9M models. The “M” stands for “mini.” Just like the KG-99 was rebranded as the TEC-9, the KG-99 Mini was rebranded as the “TEC-9 Mini.” We know Dylan’s gun was the mini model for the following reasons:
Barrel length. All mini DC9M models have a 3” barrel as opposed to the 5” barrel on the standard DC9 model. Dylan’s gun had a 3” barrel. This is easily discerned when comparing Dylan’s gun to a TEC-9.
Overall length. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the TEC-DC9M is 10.5” long, which matches the length of Dylan's pistol.
