Why are there no 9mms aesthetically similar to the ppk or the p232?
>>30328531
Because it requires a fuckhuge slide to function as a blowback. That's why hipoints look the way they do.
>>30328531
Because that would require the gun to be straight blowback, which isn't feasible with the pressures generated by 9mm unless you significantly bulk up the action.

Oh I see, thanks for the info.
>>30328553
woah, that thing is actually really sexy!

makes me sad. Hi-points are fun guns. They may not look sexy, but they as fuck function well.

I never said they were bad! If it works for you, then there's no reason to feel bad about using one

There's also a compact version, also in 9mm.
I don't think they make them anymore though.

I don't see why this couldn't be done with a stiff spring and good steel.

straight blowback 9mms require substantial mass in the bolt. theres a reason most ww2 smgs weighed more than 8 lbs.
> your wallet when the slide is made of tungsten.
Because the 9x18 FEG PA-63 has an aluminum frame and shooting it is fucking uncomfortable to say the least. Hope you are used to comically heavy double action with punishing recoil to boot.

I do find some of these sexy

A straight blowback 9mm requires a 27 OUNCE bolt - more than a Glock 17 with an unloaded magazine.
These small guns dont look right with finger grooves
