Anyone care to respond to this email that was posted on another board? The question being, is the R9 a locked breach or a blowback design?
An e-mail from 2003.

"Thanks for inquiring about our new firearm. We are just about ready to go into production with shipments to begin in June. We will be filling orders received over the past year first so it may be a little while before you get to see one at your local dealer unless they had ordered one early on. If they did, chances are that you will see one in their showcase by the end of June. There is one question I must ask you, where do you live? There are some states that are not "gun friendly" so I hope you are in a "good" state. "Unfriendly States" will be waiting longer for the R-9 to arrive, if at all. The MSRP for the R-9 is $945.00. It comes with two magazines. The R-9 is a locked breach delayed blowback design. Hope I have answered your questions for now, any further questions feel free to eMail or phone me at 1-631-847-3999 or toll free at 1-800-803-2233.
Best Regards,
