I saw one guy in S. Houston who had a TEC-9 that seemed to function okay.

Thing looked like junk to me.

Of course he relied on his mossberg for personal protection...

Gunman threatening diners is shot by officer
By MIKE GLENN
Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle

A Houston police officer shot a man who tried to open fire on some patrons inside a restaurant in southwest Houston early Sunday.

Ngoc Van Nghiem, 31, was carrying a Tec-9 pistol about 2:45 a.m. when he walked into the East Ocean restaurant in the 10800 block of Bellaire, police said. Nghiem moved toward a group of people sitting at a table, pointed the weapon at them and apparently tried to fire, but the semiautomatic 9 mm pistol jammed, police said.

Officer J.M. Garris, working part-time security there, fired when Nghiem cleared the weapon and again took aim at the people, detectives said. When Nghiem turned toward Garris and aimed at him, the officer fired a second time, police said. Nghiem was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he was in critical condition."
