Heckler & Koch P9 Target Pistol

Last night, while wasting time looking at guns on the internet, I came across mention of the HK P9 Target pistol.



Looks like an interesting design and action. Anyone have any experience with them?
Available in 45acp.

Here's a video of a 9mm

A good description of it here.  I have no experience with them.

Looks like a DA/SA design. I would stay away from any pistol with a DA trigger feature for BE. I don't like M9's either ;p)

Really like the Forgotten Weapons videos.
Was surprised to the see the target grips and the roller delay seems intriguing.

Searching for "SA roller delayed blowback pistol" turned up the Korth which uses the same roller delay :

With a superb animation of the action:

Fixed barrel 9mm requires delayed blow back to retard slide velocity so it doesn't destroy the pistol.

So far as I can tell there is no part 2.

All guns I'd love to get a chance to fire.
Have been very attracted to the SIG X5 and X6 guns. A couple of performance/target shooting stores on-line offer very nice X5 and X6 packages with one frame and two or three calibres of slides, barrels, and magazines.

I OWNED A P9S IN .45ACP SEVERAL (20+) YEARS AGO . QUITE ACCURATE. BUT THE TRIGGER WAS HORRENDOUS . JP

Another pistol that I've found that uses a roller lock is the CZ52.
