This may be what you need for this job:

I haven't confirmed with their techies yet, but it appears that if you cycle the slide without using live ammo (so as to not clock the speed of the projectile itself) you might have success. You might also be able to use live ammo as long as you effectively block the signature of the projectile from the speed timing device.

After further reading and thought, you would probably have to test the slide velocity with only one round in the magazine, so that the slide locks open. To allow the slide to return to battery would cause the radar device to take readings both travelling towards and away from it, potentially causing errors.
