Firing this round, which is hotter than some +P+ ammo, could destroy a normal 9mm pistol. I think that two handed thing is reserved for promotional videos only (and ninjas) ;) Carl, +P is a super hot 9mm load, +P+ means it is loaded even hotter.

And the bullet is only 65 grains. But the pistol could be built tougher than normal 9mm guns. The unusual locking system perhaps indicates this. If you try to fire these rounds in a Glock you might get the slide in your face, or just wear it out in a short time. I always wonder how they manage to reload when using two handguns at once... Or aim, for that matter. Concerned_Soldier: The ammo is supposedly higher pressure than +P+ 9×19, whatever that means. And the bullet is only 65 grains.

How much of that is the pistol and how much of it is the Ammo? The barrel is not long enough to increase velocity so therefore isn't it the pistol, it is the ammo, specifically the bullet AP... Thoughts and comments? V/R C_S Isn’t this a no brainer??

I worked in Russia a long time ago and have seen some of their shotguns with hinged front triggers and fine engraving. Their website is also worth visiting: http://www.kbptula.ru/eng/sphu/hunt/hunt1.htm I have a friend in Europe who has one of their semi auto rifles in 9.3x64 and loves it. I sometimes wish that some of their guns were sold here - they do know how to build a good gun. Thanks for this very interesting post. Steve,

And in a 9mm package, you'd have at least a dozen rounds of protection available and relatively low recoil, unlike the .454 Casull or .500 S&W. You'd just have to make sure you get its skull.

The bullet probably exits the body with no expansion. Not good. But the benefit of this gun is that it can also function fine with normal 9mm ammo. SO if the cops/spec ops are faced with a armored threat, or someone wearing thick winter clothing they can use the AP round, otherwise use normal FMJ or JHP (jacketed hollow point) ammo.

Very low bore axis (lower than Glock even someone claimed), large magazine capacity, and very light weight. I wonder what kind of pressure the AP rounds work with though, and if this could lead to the barrel and chamber wearing out fast. Also, do you need to switch something (like springs) when shifting from normal 9x19 to AP rounds? The rotating barrel lock up is interesting as well. I wonder if they will export this...
