Words cannot express the joy I have at this moment. My good friend sent me an email asking if I still used the same FFL for transfers because he had something that he would like to send me. I almost fell over when I received a seperate package from him with 6 P7 mags and a TT Gunleather holster as I knew at that time, what was coming to my FFL.

The gun was graded as an “A” when it entered the United States. It is very clean and shoots like a dream. I took her out today and ran about 100 rds of my 124gr reloads through it with great accuracy and no issues at all.

I am blessed to have such a great friend and will pass this well made gun to one of my boys when I pass. I’m only 47, so they will have to wait for some time.

I purchased one new, it’s my wife’s favorite pistol.

They really like “hot” 9mm for the gas delayed action to properly function. We run ONLY Winchester 9mm 127 gr +P+.

You weren't kidding when you wrote that your friend sent you a nice pistol. I consider them to be one of the best pistol designs ever made.
I prefer the American magazine release models (P7 M13 and M8 pistols) because they're a lot faster when conducting combat reloading.

My wife claimed mine too but it ran on anything.

I never tried 147 in it though because I read all the posts about why you shouldnt.

Nice!!

Never owned one, but a mate in the pistol club had one.
Same M8 version too, I much preferred it to the fatter M13

One to treasure, as is the friend that gifted it to you

The OP's is not an M8.

Correct, it’s commonly referred to (and incorrectly) as a P7 PSP. The PSP models were marked PSP on the grips and were short lived and very rare in the U.S.

From the pics (and the serial #) it appears to be the Second Model which has a contoured mag release which I prefer over the First Model which had a protruding tab.

Here’s a pic of an HK P7 PSP which has the early style mag release.

Damn good friend and sounds like he needs a good bottle of Scotch and perhaps a few cigars to with said Scotch

I did the same thing to a lifelong friend he always wanted an ar since we saw platoon as kids , so for his birthday I mailed him a 16” carbine that I built I thought it would be a more personal gift that I built it ! Needless to say he loved it :) and that’s all that mattered it inspired him to get a pistol and now we have a fellow enthusiast!

Careful OP those pistols seem to reproduce and next thing you know you have more than one.

Posted: 12/5/2018 7:10:46 PM EDT

[#27]

Wow. Nice!

I bought a few "B" grades when they were being imported 10 years or so ago.

Foolishly traded most of them away for guns that were mostly forgettable.

I need new friends.

Beautiful guns.

Very clean and with 6 mags and a nice holster. You hit the jackpot. I most likely will never own one but have always wanted one. Enjoy it!

Thats a hell of a friend! Congrats! I love my P7 and its definitely a keeper.

Nice gun. I had one long ago. They were imported. By Century Arms. I think they were $600

The squeeze cocker took some getting used to

You are lucky to get the Magazines with it
Those are expensive

Congrats on a great pistol. I have an M8 and think they are cool designs.

I need friends like you have.

Have wanted a P7 for a long time, but they are simply out of my grasp now.

Enjoy your pistol sir.

Very good. I wish I'd bought magazines for these years ago. Could have doubled my money, as they are selling for ridiculous prices.
The guns are also.
They are fun guns to shoot, and are about as safe a "single action" striker fired pistol as you will ever find. Just let up on the cocking lever, and it decocks itself; no lever to slide up and down. The triggers are pretty good on them also.

Classic HK.

Keep gas tube free of oil. Don't use metal brush to clean piston.

Great pistol. Had two grade A pistols I paid 800.00 each for. Didn't shoot them much after the first year or so and had several offers to sell. Finally gave in and sold both for a slight profit. Now prices have doubled. Don't even remember what I bought with the money.

Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. I have a M13, but its unfired so I'm looking for a worn P series to run.

Enjoy.

I've never been a fan of those guns but I know a lot of people do like them. You have a very good friend there.

I always said if a got a good deal on one I'd flip it, but if it was a gift from a good friend I would keep it and treasure it.

Posted: 12/18/2018 10:59:57 PM EDT

[#44]

I just want to let all P7 HK owners that I am accepting a limited number of new friends. Feel free to gift me a P7 at anytime to complete the bonds of friendship.

OP that was a really cool gift I’m sure you’ll treasure it.
