Went to my 'library' to get "The official history of the Oberndorf company of Heckler & Koch" (2001) by Kersten & Schmid.
On page 58 it indicates:
- P9S .45ACP was produced to a number of "about 8,000" (Serial #'s 400001-408225, as of 03/93) beginning in 08/1976.
- P9S 9mm was produced to a number of 41,000 (Serial #'s 100001-141135, as of 03/93) beginning in 01/1970.
- P9S 7.65mmX21.5 was produced to a number of 600 (Serial #'s 200001-200608) from 06/1973 through 04/20/1976. Numbers 200601 and 200602 were SACO imports (Security Arms Company - Arlington, VA)
On page 70, it shows the P9S Sport ("The P9S Target Pistol") production began in 1973, but fails to indicate the number produced.
Interestingly, I cannot find a reference to there being a P9S "Combat". I believe that 'P9S Combat' and 'P9S' can be used interchangeably and are one in the same.
Let me know if there is anything else you want me to look up, as it's not too far a walk to my 'library'. :biggrin:
