I'm happy to announce that the beta version of my project has hit the water today. I don't expect the first semi-automatic pistol in an adult caliber to have a smooth maiden voyage, but early testing hasn't revealed any life-threatening issues.

About the pistol: Not fully printed, but no gun parts, just simple metalwork like drilling and cutting. Slide is a composite of printed liner and metal square tube, JB-welded together. Breech face metal too. ECM barrel. Available in 9x17 and 9x18 calibers.

Welcome, friends. Print, drill, assemble, test, have fun, and stay safe.

the kinetic energy of pip9 nearly a 22lr and 9mm deep's kinetic energy not higher than a 380acp i think it can change to adapt the design,I heard there is an ammo 9.2x19mm --To save on costs, some American reloaders create "wildcat" cartridges by seating Makarov bullets into 9x19mm casings; however, this necessitates a modification to the firearm's chamber design.

    That sounds very interesting and promising. But I have no experience with these cartridges. If their energy is as you describe, then why not? But I have no such plans. For now, I'm more interested in seeing this project through to release and then calmly moving on to the next one.
