Ok. so whats a good price for a PSP? Saw a good looking one this weekend at the PA show, it was marked $625 for a very good condition gun, 2 mags and all. LE trade in. Internals looked really bright. I passed it up for the obvious hassles of having it shipped to a nj dealer at the show, and since I figured I can find them cheaper at various sources.

 

Get home, look online, and cannot seem to locate one in Grade A condition for less than $700.

 

Werent these like $499?

Maks:

 

I think there was a recent importation of ex-German police guns. There is a dealer on SigForum who was getting $699 for the blue/black guns and $749 for the nickel ones (don't know if he still has some or not). These were primo condition and included 2 mags and the cleaning tools in the original plastic case. The one you found sounds like a darn good price. They are very interesting guns. I had a chance to shoot one, not too long ago, and I enjoyed it enough that I'd consider one of these (if I had any money ). It's a heel mag release I could live with since you push it forward (toward the muzzle) to release the mag - much easier to operate than those you pull back - especially nice if you're left-handed.

 

Adios,

I might want to jump on it then.

 

I will say, the first time I shot it, I was not really impressed, however the second time I shot one, dont remember if it was Lunker's or the one at BA, I was blown away by how accurate they were. I was planning on getting one longer term, but it seems like they are drying up and I should of jump on it.

Maks,

 

The $499 ones you saw were all grade B. Someone on HKPro was selling them for that price and so was TopGunSupply. The supply of Grade A P7's seem to have dried up, at least for now. The P7s tend to arrive in large waves. The best price I saw for a Grade A was $650 or $675 (I forget which) from CDNN. They only carry the Grade A guns, but have been sold out for about a year now. Remember that the internals on all grade P7s have been redone, so that a Grade C (yes, there are some) and a Grade A should be the same from an internal parts condition/wear perspective. It is the externals that differ with the grading system. HK never reblued any of these otherwise refurbished guns, so how they got them is how you will get them. I have a grade B. It is nearly immaculate. The only signs of wear are some loss of bluing at the sharp edges, probably from the gun being holstered. I know that people had been buying Grade Cs to have them hard chromed or Duracoated, etc.

I saw top gun has it listed, but OOS at $559. I think I will contact the dealer and see if I can get it for $600. I think they picked it up dirt cheap used, so should be a win win.

I recently purchased a Grade A from a small dealer on HKPRO back in October. Came with 2 mags, cleaning rod, take down tool and box. It was something that I wanted for a long time and it was worth it. Going to pass down to the kids when I get old.

I just ordered a grade B from Top Gun, hasn't come in yet so I can't tell you what it looks like, but I'm glad to hear good reports about the grade B's. Top Gun told me they had some A's earlier and they sold out in one day, they were $700 I believe. CDNN did have some B's as well as A's but they're all sold out now.

Maks,

 

the P7 I showed everybody on New Years Eve is a grade a, I got it for a steal though. If I shoot tomorrow, maybe I will bring it. I have to clean it before shooting it.

 

Just so you know, if you don't have the cleaning tools, they will cost an extra $50.

What was Totalabuse's P7? That thing is awesome! I know nothing about these things but i really like them.

Speaking of which, where is he? Last Active: Feb 01 2011 04:43 AM

Jack!

 

NJGF top shot has to be here.

Got to fondle, but not bring home (waiting on PP's), my new P7 today. It's a grade B and I hardly noticed any wear on the finish, if you look close enough there is minor wear on the sharp edges. Almost hard to rationalize spending the extra $200 for a grade A (if you can find one).

P7M8. I'm not a fan of the PSP at all. They heat up real fast and the mag release sucks.

Jack, that's it! Man if I had the dough and I saw one just like that in a store I'd grab it.

Some things are worth saving for. I understand the financial appeal of the PSP. But when it comes down to it, it's a waste of money. Go to the range and dump a few mags through one and you'll see. The M8 was created for a reason.

Jack, I'm gonna be a jerk and ask you a bunch of stupid newb questions about these guns. If I sell my safe queens and I want one of these guns, what do you suggest?

To the best of my knowledge, the differences are:

PSP has heel mag release. P7M8 has thumb activated lever release on side of grip

P7M8 has longer trigger guard with plastic heat shield. PSP does not.

PSP needs take down tool to remove firing pin housing. P7M8 housing is raised and can be removed with your thumb.

 

I have owned both. In my opinion they don't shoot any differently.I think the PSP is actually preferable in one regard, if it came down to carrying it. The mag release on the P7M8 would be easy to accidentally activate since it is two levers, one on either side of the trigger guard and they are nowhere near flush with the grip. A little practice with a heel grip mag release would take care of the unfamiliarity.

Like I said, I have owned both and had a hard time justifying the extra $1000 in the price of the P7M8, so I sold it and bought the $500 Grade B PSP. They are 95% the same gun. There may be some other internal difference I am not aware of, but so far it hasn't proven to be important.

Chris,

 

TopGun raised there prices of the grade b's. They are now like $560 and the are out of stock. FRom what I am seeing, they are all now selling for the $575 range for grade b's.

Glad I got mine last week then.
