I remember reading something Mas wrote about them years ago, about how the system was a safety officer's nightmare or similar.

If you do not want it to go bang, do not just release ze dieunlockenzielevermechanische!
I feel like I can almost hear the HK engineer shouting at me...
And then he nonchalantly retrieves a completely frozen P9s from a nearby cooler and proceeds to fire a full magazine with absolutely no stoppages. All while exhibiting zero expression, whatsoever.
My department still authorizes them. I don’t know anyone who carries one... or for that matter even has one. We have one in the armory with a broken trigger guard... I have heard that is somewhat common. I’ve messed around with it but really have no idea how it works and now I’m going to have to go handle it some more as I’ve learned things from this thread.
I’d like one just to be that guy.
Hopefully Mas will chime in. I remember several articles he wrote about them. I think I only saw one for sale at my LGS in the last 25 years. I saw one in a pistol class in the 90s. It was a 45 and it self destructed. It didn’t blow up but I remember it kind of came apart as in that’s a lot of small parts, the rollers even came out
Owned one for a couple of years, the most insane manual of arms I have ever encountered. It was a good suppressor host for a can without a nielson device because the barrel does not tilt, but I cannot say much else good about it.
I created a short field strip and make ready tutorial on it for some guys who requested it at the old TPI site, file is on dropbox.
These were Malaysian contract guns. As to value. I looked at one a few years ago at Green Mtn Guns in S. Denver. One mag with box and papers for $799. it was a good deal, for a collector.

We ordered four of them into my buddies shop here in Jacksonville. Both of us wanted one at that price...
And now I know why the 10+ sold out in a few minutes...
