Newt:

Thanks! I needed that!

I came to my senses and made an offer for one of the "Grade A" P7 imports.

Ich habe einen HK P7 Polizei Selbstlade-Pistole gekauft.   8)



At long last, I've got a P7 in my stable. Thanks to "Flyandscuba" for the heads up on the importation.

Glad to have you as part of the Cult!

I've heard as many as 13,000 of these were de-commissioned by Germany.  I predict that in the coming months we'll see importation of quite a few ex-police P7M8s and possibly even P7M13s from Europe... ;D

I'll be picking mine up on Saturday - it's waiting for me at one of the local gun shops.  ;D

I heard rumor that they've imported a huge number of these....

My "new" (recently retired from service with the German Police) HK P7 arrived today. Here it is ready to head to the range with another 9mm near and dear to my heart (and usually in my pocket).  


I've ordered a monogrammed black Paddle Defender holster trimmed in shark skin from K&D Holsters for this A-Grade "squeeze cocker."  Now . . . I keep looking at it and thinking about how it would look dressed up in hard chrome and grained walnut.   8)

Congrats!  An R9 in the pocket and a P7 on the belt -- makes a great CCW combination!

Looking forward to hearing some range reports and first firing impressions from these new P7 owners.... ;D

Richard - that is a nice looking P7.  The finish looks really nice.  Is that Grade A used or new ?

If it is one of the used trade ins from CDNN, then you got me going on another one now.

Reinz:

It's one of the Grade A used imports that showed up on Gunbroker.com. The only marks on it are some minor "dings" on the right grip panel looking as if the butt of the holstered pistol was banged up against a door frame or something of the sort.  I've ordered a replacement right grip panel from HK USA while I wait on a pair of walnut grips from Nill-Griffe in Mössingen, Germany.

The internals of this pistol appear to indicate that it saw very little use. After I've had a few months of familiarization with it, I think I'll send it and its magazines off for hard-chrome plating.

I had never tried a "squeeze cocker" before and now understand why they have acquired such "cult" status.
