Any H&K P7 owners here?

I got one heavy on my mind.....

I see them all the time at the Thornton Gander Mountain. Usually two at a time actually...

Prior P7M8/M10 owner. Great guns but too valuable for daily carry for me.

M8 and M13 owner. Andy talked me into getting one long ago. Dont regret it a bit.

Awesome little gun. Incredibly accurate. Scary accurate actually.

It's been on my list of things to get ever since it saved the life of a gunshop owner in Indy. The thugs didn't know how to operate it, he pulled a .357 from beneath the restroom sink where they'd taken him to be shot with his own H&K. Plugged them both, justified defense shooting, was cleared of all charges.

they are very cool though.

I haved owned several P7's and a P7M8. They are accurate, but not significantly more than most Sigs and a couple Beretta 92s I owned. The trigger and safety "interact" such that the end of the trigger pull moves the safety lever (frontstrap) just a tad, which I found annoying. The biggest problem for me was that they get too hot for range shooting--even using them in rotation with another pistol or two. They are also a bit heavy for carry given that they are a single stack 9. Lastly, its not the gun you want to clear the house with after a bump in the night, as the safety clicking and unclicking is a bit of a tell that you are around the corner. The nice things about the pistol are its cool design, nice feel, good accuracy, quality of manufacture, and cool factor. In the end, those were not enough for me to keep mine. I had to buy them about 5 times over 10 years to get it through my head that they are not for me.

I keep using them as a standard to judge all others....lots of other pistols have come and gone but I really love my P7 most! Accuracy, reliability, control, and uniqueness- all tops. As with most anything, after a fair bit of range time and familiarity- they really come into their own.
I do wish they cocked more quietly as kpp80202 mentions....
My psp gets soooo hot after a few mags worth that even through gloves it gets your attention.
If they made one in 10mm with a threaded barrel....I would never have to look at another gun forum/classified section/auction site again! well, ok, maybe a little.
