I was looking through hoosier topics today and saw a intratec tec-9 for sale. He is asking 425 firm. He said it shoots good and looks good for a tec 9. I have a few concerns. I shot one of these when I was 15 and the things jammed like a hi point but worst. I think the one I shot had been played with to make it full auto and someone had no idea how to do it. You had to hold it side ways about 1/2 way from vertical to gangster grip

. If not the shells would not eject out right.
I asked about a trade. He told me he would give me 165 for my2 year old mossberg 500 wood stock with the gold trigger and 210 for my ruger 10/22 I bought in july. Ends up me owning him 60 bucks. I do not need the shotgun I like shooting the 22 but Even though I do not need either I DO NOT REALLY NEED the tec 9 just want one.
But I do not want to get screwed or end up with a junk gun. He did say I could shoot it at a range.
What are your thoughts on the tec 9 and what is it worth.
