I was really led down the path when I heard, "point and shoot."

Richard - thanks for the link.  Nice site, I am surprised at some the guns that they even make grips for.

I added them to my "favorites" list.
Now I just have to decide on which grips?

Thanks again,

The photograph I posted at the start of this thread shows my P7 with a box of 147-grain Remington Golden Saber BJHP ammunition. That is the load I have been using in my P7 without any malfunctions. However, during my "continued education" on the HK P7 (a pistol in which I have long had an interest but acquired only two years ago), it has recently come to my attention that Helmut Weldle, the engineer who designed the pistol, designed its gas-retarded action specifically around the 115/124-grain NATO round. Although I have not experienced any difficulties with 147-grain ammunition in my own P7, I've now switched to a 124-grain load for the pistol in keeping with what I understand the designer to have intended.

(Who says I'm too old and stubborn to change my mind?   )

It's good to learn!

I've always shot 115gr with no problems at all in my M8 and M13 until I got ahold of some machinegun almmo about 15 years ago.  
I did not know it was machinegun ammo at the time.  But I did notice it was really hot!   I just thought it was standard military.
Well the ammo ended up locking/freezing the striker all the way back in the rear position and I could not free it.

I ended up having to order a whole firing - striker assembly.

What a hassle and expense!

Lesson learned; don't shoot hot ammo in your P7 and save the machinegun ammo for the Uzi's and MP5's.

Learning does pay dividends for the next time!!
