While not 9mm luger, a CZ52 in 7.62x25 Tokarev is a blow back design as well. They use a system called roller delayed blowback which originated in several MG designs. I have owned a couple and aside from their crudeness they are pretty interesting. Definitely unique! I have always enjoyed shooting the varioius 7.62x25 pistols. :D

It uses a camming roller system. Not streight blow back.

Gotcha! My post wasn't meant to counter your point as it was accurate and the 52 is a different caliber too. :wink:

I just wanted to mention a different design used to contain a high pressure round in a blowback action.

Between the 2 I would pick the Sig 232. I've owned and used the PPK and PPKs, the 230 and 232 in the past. I much prefer the Sig 232 over the others. And I would much prefer a 9mm over any of them.

GREAT post. I think it's a great design actually. :-D
