Thought I'd share the latest edition to the firearm family. I got bit by the H&K P7 bug. Just picked up this grade B P7. Looks close to an A grade. I spent a small fortune on 6 extra mags and a few holsters as well. I'll probably be sending mine off for an NP3 finish from Robar. www.robarguns.com/np3.htm I'm also considering sending off my slide to get tritium inserts from PT Night Sights: www.mmcsight.com/tritium.htm Cheers. PS: If anyone else wishes to share some nice P7 pictures...please do!

Nice shooter riggsy! Agreed, there goes more retirement money. ;)
Yeah, you forgot...OVERPRICED! Still though, they are unique, sexy shooters. |

JB Metal - most (although new) 9mm pistols run between 475.00 - up to 800.00. Granted, they are high capacity, but a P7 can be had in "b grade" for under 600.00. If made today, my guess is they would be well over 1K new. Now the P7M8's are expensive - and the only real difference is "US" style magazine release. For double the price, P7's are a bargain. Its all relative I guess. I just picked up a Ruger LCP - and spend 1/2 that........ If you don't have one, get one before the supply dries up. |
Even though it's cool...spending $600 on a 25 year old, used duty pistol that holds 8 rounds to me is expensive. Yeah, it's all relative. Anyhow, I bought one didn't I? Not expensive enough to deter me and yeah, compared to the P7M8 it's a steal. LCP? Not on the approved list in KALIFORNIA. |
| I shot my recently acquired P7 last weekend. Very enjoyable and VERY accurate (more accurate than I am - had 11 out of 16 shots in one long ragged hole at 7yds). It does get hot though. After 8 mags at a not-exactly-rapid-fire pace, even the trigger guard was getting warm! |
There you are: P7M8, finished in NP3 by Robar, night sights by Tooltech. I liked the appearence of those Nils grips, but they were just too thick and I went back to the stock ones. That NP3 is great stuff, by the way, and took away all concern about my thin-skinned prize HK rusting in the underwater environment that is summer in Virginia: |
| I just bought two of the "B" grades and they are awesome! Both look like they have never been fired, not a bit of oil, grease, etc on them. I'm sending one off for hard chrome next month and night sites, the other will be my range gun. Lou Alessi is doing a CQC/S for me and Mark Garrity just finished an Incognito Deluxe which I'll have next week. Never was a big 9mm fan till I fired one of these and the prices will shoot back up again once this surplus is gone. Get then while you can! I paid just under 1k for both of mine!! |
