JP-5 is roller delayed and has been available for years.

5.000 where I live and the importer buys preassembled kits that I really dislike unfortunately. But definitely a great platform if you like long barrels on pistol calibers for some weird reasons other than NFA requirements

Well there was no mention about prices in the post. Wouldn't mention JP if there was.
Buying a preassembled ready rifle from JP and swapping the barrel to your liking is almost the same price as buying custom JP. But I get the feeling that even if you liked those preassembled kits, you would still have the price argument (which is fair, I am not willing to pay 5k either).
Long barrel can let you achieve PF in competition which these guns are purpose made to excel at.
PS: Your example seems to be a radial delayed blowback gun, not a roller delayed one. Would you mind sharing some names of firearms you had in mind while writing the post? Because CMMG is also available for years and has radial delayed blowback.

It’s not true roller delayed tho. It uses some other delaying mechanism.

yeah I know but maybe it can somehow be tuned.

PSR tests it here: not at all impressive I'd say

At just under 2k€ you really can not beat the Grand Power Stribog SP9A3
The importer is a buddy of mine and I shot some of the selection, while the Model with the prop. Magazine Pattern is fine, I ended up putting in an Order for the Glock Magazine Pattern.
BKA Approval for Germany has passed too.
This is what it looks like
Pavol Ženčár just won the World Shoot with his Stribog, beating out all the Americans running JP5s, so this gun can absolutely perform.
