Way to pricey in my opinion.

Neat bit of kit, but totally factory custom.

Good isn't cheap, cheap isn't good. Usually.
The 9mm is a surprisingly excellent revolver round. If someone would CNC a revolver to only have about a 1" long cylinder and frame window to match! For a pocket gun. I found in the Ruger SA 9mm is accurate and loses no velocity compared to a solid breach semi auto. Why it is accurate I have no clue as the bullet has about 2" to become misaligned jumping from the point of ignition to the barrel throat. But is it accurate. I think it was Jim Taylor that showed me a semi-auto mag was a great way to carry extra revolver ammo to thumb into the cylinder. I think it was Jim, some really smart older than me fella anyway. The .40 S&W and 10mm are even better as revolver rounds. In a DA with full moon clips it is dandy and mimics the .38-40 WCF ballistics and more. You can even seat the bullets long and boost performance notably. I've not had bullet pull issues with up to 200 gr. bullets.
Years ago Federal came out with the 9mmFederal which was

a rimmed 9mm. All the same as a standard 9mm round except it had a rim on it. Federal as normal failed to promote it and it died on the vine. It wasn't something I would have been excited over but it had a chance to be a decent round with the target folks. No moon clips to worry about, just hit the ejector rod and out they come, then use a Speed Loader and you're set.
Federal has come up with some neat things thru the years but in each case they failed to promote them and they died before they even had a chance to be popular.
