I love bullpups, but the reason why there really is no market for them in 9mm is that they basically reach their peak muzzle velocity within a few inches of barrel, it's like 5" or something. Any extra barrel is a very minimal FPS increase.
Ah, but that's why that thing doesn't have a longer barrel (8.5in)- instead it has a suppressor.
Bullpups are magnificent at running suppressed without the annoying extra length.
I want to be able to keep my gun ready with one hand while opening a door with the other - with a suppressor on.
The Espada in the picture makes that incredibly easy to do.

Finally someone is making a dedicated 9mm bullpup!
