The HK P9 is a semi-automatic pistol from Heckler & Koch in 9×19mm Parabellum, .45 ACP, and 7.65×21mm Parabellum and the first to use a variation of H&K's roller delayed blowback system in a pistol format and polygonal rifling [1] now common in H&K designs.
Using a similar recoil reduction system, the H&K Mk 23 pistol fired more than 30,000 high pressure (+P) cartridges and 6,000 proof loads without damage or excessive wear to any major components. Abuse and function-testing of USPs have seen more than 20,000 rounds of .40 S&W fired without a component failure.
The VP70 combined a number of design features that were innovative, or at least very unusual for its time: It was the first polymer-framed handgun, predating the Glock 17 by 12 years.
The design is heavily based on the Welrod pistol designed by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) for use in World War II and is mechanically almost identical. [4] Its original purpose was to quickly and humanely kill sick animals without frightening nearby animals or people.
