Very cool looking firearm...
So now I'm having buyers remorse...
a few friends seem to think that the tec-9 is a spray and pray POS...
And that only a gansta would shoot one and to be cool,aimed
sideways...
So...I put forth the question...:
Is the Intratec TEC-9, 9mm PRE-BAN blow-back Pistol an inaccurate POS
or not...

It depends:
Will your example feed, fire, and eject reliably?
What size group will it produce at 25 yards?
I'm sure if you're into tinkering, there are ways to tweak it up to
improve reliability but as far as I'm concerned, any gun that is not
reliable enough to use for self defense is just an expensive paper weight.
Sorry, that's probably not the response you were hoping for. Just my
honest opinion.

As a weapon, it is certainly effective. Columbine demonstrated that all
too well with a TEC-DC9.
An original TEC-9 that fires from an open bolt and is grandfathered as a
GCA-compliant semi-automatic firearm would probably have some collector
value. There aren't many of these. This was the notorious model that
could be converted to full-automatic fire.
The primary value of a closed-bolt TEC-9, TEC-DC9, and AB-10 is as a toy.
It looks cool and is entertaining as a recreational target shooting
firearm. It is certainly not a suitable firearm for competition shooting.
Nor is it particularly suitable as a self-defense firearm due to its size
and general awkwardness.
You said yourself that you got yours inexpensively and like the way that
it looks. Do you have fun shooting it? That's all that it important, not
what your friends think or say.

in my opinion they are more fun that a pm-11
#Is the Intratec TEC-9, 9mm PRE-BAN
# blow-back Pistol an inaccurate POS or not...
The answer is not yes, it's HELL YES.
#The Intratec TEC-9 is a simple designed blow-back type semi-automatic
#pistol that works well as long as you use the brand and type
#ammunition which is recommended in their owners manual which can be
#found here:
#http://akbs.ru/manuals/manual_it_9_en.pdf
#The TEC-9 is not a "spray and pray" type firearm since it is not fully
#automatic but is more designed for casual plinking although a few
#years back, a couple of the narcotic officers on one of the larger
#police departments in Oakland County here in Michigan used to carry
#TEC-9's in addition to their sidearm on their drug raids. Have your
#friends that are bad mouthing the pistol ever owned one themselves or
#are they just repeating what they've heard somewhere else? If you got
#the pistol at a good price, it works, and you're happy, who cares what
#others think
I own 3 of them and what japspy said is correct.

What's the point of having THREE of the same gun?

Different variations?
I have 4 Llama .380s, all made in the 1940s, all different.
If you like something you should have as many of them as you can afford.
That's why most of us only have one woman.

I bought them at a time when just owning them made certain people mad.
So you can shoot one and lend two to your friends?
And I have 9 different FN49s, four different calibers, all different.
Why does there have to be a point?

the Point is that you could use the money(and storage space) for OTHER
guns.

Right. This IS America, after all :)

At the time storage and money were not issues, and there was no
shortage of other firearms.

Who are you to try and tell someone what guns they should/shouldn't
collect?
The only reason I need to buy a firearm is "I want to"

WHERE did I "try to tell him what to collect"?
I was wondering about his reasoning.
So,don't get your panties in a wad.
