minding my own biz in cabelas.................
and SUDDENLY......................on a tip from another secret squirrel.............an HK P9S 9mm COMBAT pops into my life! very good condition, with exception of where "leather" holster left its mark on slide. an easy repair at robar, but once again the reason why 'LEATHER" holsters should all be burned. i hate leather and this is why.
yep and as soon as i got home i tore it apart again(cabelas guy about fainted as i tore it apart there to look at wear on bolt) and confirmed my sneeky suspicions: IT WAS A HANGER/HOLSTER QUEEN all of its life.
pulled the damn thing apart as per manual and started cleaning. and the damn thing was full of COSMOLINE! not one bit of wear on bolt. actually bolt had never been off before to clean. yes same delayed roller blowback system as a hk 91/93/94.
already got my spare parts list together from hk parts and numrich, and wez ready to admit another fine specimen into the hallowed halls of happy hk's.
and after polishing the bore with jb's bore paste, i once again have fallen in love with POLYGONAL BARRELING!
here we are how many years after they stopped production? and the elite u.s. teams are STILL USING hk p9s in 9mm and .45. i think thats a pretty fair compliment for a design.
the ONE the ONLY the ORIGINAL PLASTIC GUN LIGHT YEARS BEFORE GLOCK!
i hope my p9s .45 and the p9s 9mm spawn at night and have lil baby p9s target babies.
