HK P7 for $500

Featured Replies

P7M8's are around 1200.

 

This is a good price for a P7 though.

 

Main differences... the M8 incorporates the americanized features such as mag release in the proper place... not at the heel of the frame... and a few others.

 

I am not expert on these, but from when I shot them, very accurate.

 

Only downside is the 8 round capacity.

Gotcha.. I just read up on them a little. Apparently the P7M8 also has a heat shield to avoid fried fingers due to prolonged firing.

 

I kinda want one, but I -just- bought a similar German police 8 round single stack 9mm. Can't really justify another one :(

Maks,

Most P7M8s are going for around $1500 in nice condition, a few hundred more for like new. Ask me how I know. :)

I had spoken with the nice folks at HK. HK in Germany redoes all the internals on these guns to be like new. The "A" or "B" rating is strictly for the finish, not internal wear. I could never justify to myself owning a $1700 P7M8 pistol (perfect for CCW) in a state that only deigns to give that priviledge to the wealthy and politically connected. Seeing the winds of change here, I would not hesititate to spend $500 on one. They are one of the finest and most unique pistols ever made, IMO.

The only things I like better about the P7M8 over it's European cousin, the P7, are the mag release and the extended trigger guard with heat shield. All the internals and barrel are the same. The differences are the takedown on the firing pin (you need a tool for the P7), and the firing pin itself is a little bigger on the P7M8.

oh man that's tempting, got a permit too!

I was looking for a p7m8 just last week. I've got friends on the lookout for a cheap one.

I shot one of these (P7 PSP) for the first time this past Thursday. I was really impressed. Very accurate, very easy to shoot. The Euro mag release on these is no impediment as it works a little differently than others I've seen/used. Instead of having to force the magazine past it, on insertion, and pulling it toward the rear to extract the mag (think Ruger MK pistols), you push it toward the front to release - counterintuitive, I know, but it offers little resistance on insertion and your not fighting to get the mag past it and your (in my case) fat fingers on extraction. For $500 I think these are a steal and especially to get them from a reputable place like TGS - great to deal with.

 

Adios,

No such thing any more. Good deals on P7M8 are as scarce as hen's teeth.

Tell me about it! It was issued to NJSP troopers years ago so I figured some of these guys would own one. Too bad they had to return their weapons when it was retired and had no option to buy it.
