The first model compared is the popular T4E TP-50 pistol. How does the second generation differ from the first and is it worth buying instead of the older model?

Improved ergonomics and handling of the second generation

The GEN2 pistol brings significant innovations in design and ergonomics. The newly optimized grip texture and high-contrast optical sight provide better control and shooting accuracy. These changes bring the user not only greater comfort, but also increased efficiency when using the gun in a variety of situations.

Technological innovations and improved performance of the new model

The increase in muzzle energy to 13 J from the original 11 J in the GEN2 model means that the pistol has greater efficiency and is able to hit the target more effectively. This is a major improvement that enhances the gun's utility for defensive purposes and target practice.

Safety features and reliability

Both generations of the T4E TP-50 pistol are equipped with a reed safety to prevent accidental discharge, a safety feature also found on professional firearms. This feature increases safety when handling the weapon. In addition, the GEN2 introduces an innovative Quick-Piercing system for faster and safer preparation of the weapon for use.

Price and market availability

Despite all the improvements, the GEN2 model remains affordable. The price remains the same as for the GEN1 at 103,13 €.
