Intratec began as Interdynamic USA, an offshoot of Swedish firearms manufacturer Interdynamic AB.[1] As a result of the lack of a competitive firearms market in Sweden, Interdynamic AB set up a subsidiary in the United States to sell the KG-9. Called Interdynamic USA, this company eventually became Intratec when George Kellgren left the company and Carlos Garcia renamed it Intratec, and continued to sell variants of KG-99, later known as the model it would be known for, the Tec-9. The company went out of business in 2001.[2]
Productsedit
Intratec was known for numerous handgun designs using polymer frames and steel stampings.[3]
CAT seriesedit
Designed by famed Israeli gun designer Nehemiah Sirkis, the CAT-9, CAT-380, CAT-40, and CAT-45 pistols are polymer-framed semi-automatic handguns chambered in 9mm Parabellum, .380 Auto, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, respectively. The design is a derivative of Sirkis' original all-steel Sardius SD-9 pistol.[4]
Protec seriesedit
The Protec-22 and Protec-25 are small semi-automatic handguns chambered in .22 Long Rifle and .25 ACP, respectively. The Protec-25 is a CZ 45 clone.[5]
The TEC-9 is the third version of this gun, made and marketed by one of the original principal partners that produced this style of 9mm pistol, first as the open-bolt semi-automatic KG-9 and then as the closed-bolt semi-automatic KG-99. The TEC-9 name was applied when the Kellgren and Garcia partnership ended and Carlos Garcia went solo as Intratec of Miami, FL.[5]
