HK P9S - Should I buy it?

I agree, they are great guns. I have a P9 - but otherwise identical to the P9S. I did have one quirky thing happen. I was at the range and suddenly the slide wouldnt move forward all the way. Closer look and the bottom screw to access the buffer fell out - this resulted in the top screw and access cover popping up. So I guess you should make sure that you screw it in tight 
There are aftermarket magazines out there. I tried four of them and they all worked just fine. I put the P9 through its paces in a 3 Gun shoot and it was great - it took a little getting used to because of the frequent mag changes, but accuracy more than made up for it.

I actually like the bottom mag release - I went to the range with only my HK P9s and a Walther P38 (both bottom mag release), and the motion was second nature by the end of the range session.
Loving my HK P9s - I'll post pics next week.

The .45s are considerably more scarce than the 9mm, and command a premium price for that reason.
I had the recoil buffer replaced a year or so ago; kept the original - the gunsmith said it looked perfectly OK, but it's decades old.
A very classy design. If it has a flaw, it is that the grips favor a large hand.

Now yer talkin. Go for it says I.
p9s 45
I live faraway in South Africa and have a .45 P9s.Changed the buffer which I obtained without difficulty from Numrich USA as a precaution.First time I shot it I put 20 rounds in a 7 inch circle at 20 meters.Nary a hassle and without a single stoppage, even though I was shooting a lot of SWC's.Couldn't do much better with my target sighted 6 inch barreled Colt Python 357.
And this weapon carries superbly because of its flat contours and shows very little signature under a T shirt.
By far the most versatile major calibre full size carry pistol around.
