HK p7

[CNO53]

Tom, Do you have any more?

>>Because of the positioning of the mag release on the P7 (causing premature mag drop) I have been having a heck of a time finding a nice holster for my gun.  I would love to see and hear what some of the rest of you guys use to carry your P7 - especially CC.  Thanks...!...TW<<

HK P7 Import Makeover - Phase I (Karl Nill Oiled Walnut Rhomlas Grips)

Now for Phase II (Hard-Chrome Plating)

[ROKTMAN]

i use a Jackass shoulder rig,Kramer belt slide and a Galco SOB.

Phase II initiated. My HK P7 Lower Saxony state police retiree is at Virgil Tripp's "spa" for a bath of hard chrome and a little buffing around the edges. As RJ says, "Watch this space."

Virgil Tripp does great work, as you well know, Richard, and
also is one fine gentleman on a personal basis.

Tracker:

You're absolutely right, as usual. As an example, when I called Tripp Research to give notice of my intent to ship the pistol to the company for plating, Virgil Tripp was the one who answered the telephone. He was very cordial and informative, taking the time to discuss various options for the plating process of which I had not been aware.

I enjoy doing business with companies whose CEOs are willing to deal directly with the customers . . . companies such as Tripp and Rohrbaugh, for example.

Also, Virgil makes some of the finest 1911 magazines that
I have had the pleasure to use, without a doubt.

I've been looking at those magazines on his web site.  ( http://www.trippresearch.com/mags/mags.htm )

I didn't think there was anything left to do with my "tricked out" 1911 -- except maintain proficiency with it and keep it clean. In light of your recommendation, though, I think I'll order a supply of the Tripp magazines for it as soon as I complete this P7 makeover project in which I'm now involved.

Neal, I think my source still has some, call me.  Tom

Thanks, Richard, for calling attention to Virgil's new
website. I hadn't seen that on the magazines but it
is very impressive and reflects the high quality of his
products and services.

[Richard S]

The plan has come together.

Thanks to Virgil Tripp of Tripp Research for the following work:

ˇ Plating the entire pistol, including barrel and magazines, in Cobra Chrome, with brushed flats
ˇ Removing mill markings from each side of trigger guard.
ˇ Removing engraved warning from bottom of trigger guard.
ˇ Squaring off irregular stippling on frame back strap.

Thanks to A. Herzig-Zug of Karl Nill Massgriffe & Holzverarbeitung GmbH for selecting the matched pair of grained walnut Rhomlas grips.

And thanks again to "Flyandscuba" for the heads up on the P7 imports.  As he has previously observed, having a P7 on the belt and a R9 in the pocket makes an excellent CCW combination.

Richard, very nice looking P7. Did he chrome the bore?  Tom

[Richard S]

Tom:

Only the outside of the barrel was chromed.  

For anyone thinking of having a pistol plated with hard chrome, I highly recommend Tripp Research.  The turnaround time on this P7 was under two weeks, and the work is flawless -- absolutely flawless!
