Section 8: Handguns Subject: P9S Ad Msg# 869256
|

I am completely ignorant of the P9S beyond having a general book knowledge and remembering them in stores. I've never shot one and don't recall ever even handling one. I wouldn't say I know "less than nothing" about them, but "nothing" is a fair description.  So--I envy you--and Jerry--your experience with these pistols. Today I think they are on the rare side. I don't see them at OGCA but rarely. It may be that they were made in comparatively small numbers--you'd know more about that than me. Or perhaps collectors and/or shooters are still hanging on to them, or maybe they just aren't well-represented at OGCA, which can't, ultimately, represent the entire gun collecting scene perfectly.
At any rate, I'd love to have some experience with these. Your mention of the Sauer 38H was interesting. I had to think about that one as I had never thought about the connection, but of course the controls are the same. Does the safety work in the same direction on both models? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: They were a bit spendy (aren't H&Ks always spendy?  ) at the time. I actually had 3 over a few years, all Combat Models, 2 in 9mm and 1 in .45acp. All were bought used so I never paid full retail. They were extremely soft shooting and accurate, especially the .45, which almost qualifies as one that I should have kept. The manual cocker/decocker was very reminiscent of the Sauer 38H, a pistol I really liked except for the caliber. Oh well.
