One of the cost-cutting measures was to finetune the Swiss M1929 for use of the 7,65mm Para round and it's softer recoil only, so reinforcements that made their way into DWM's 9mm design were never implemented in the Swiss versions.

It's probably one of the reasons why the Swiss abandoned the idea of developing a 9mm version. Too much redesigning needed.
