NICE Peice Quint!! That's a P7M8... becha paid a few bucks toget it........I've carried mine since 1980 when I bought my first one for 375.00 brand new..In the pics One is Blue......the other is hard Chrome and there IS a "silent" de-cocking mode in the gun.........Look under the trigger guard....where it meets the frame........you'll see a small indentation........... take your index finger or thumb nail........and as you release the decocking lever.. PRESS INWARD...........NO "CLICK"........silence!! GREAT in a Tactical situation for sure!!!
Actually I paid $800 for this one. It was like new, in the original box with unused brush & scraper, and the original manual. I got it from a TSSA club member.ExSoldier762 said:
You can find some great deals on P7's on the Park Cities Tactical forums.

Class,
I'm in the market for one, let me know if any in decent shape pop up at your shop. I can't seem to find them for less then 1200 around here

I hear many great things about them and have shot one but - if honest, never yet have I gotten the hots for it!
Seems these days now, prices have crept up considerably and $800 sounds a good deal when considering that.
Many folks tho do comment about how hot they get real quick!

I absolutely love this gun. I think it has one of the best trigger pulls, (outside a good 1911 of course ) that I've ever used. It doesn't "stack up" like most long pull triggers, you just take up the slack and suddenly, WHAM.
Extremely accurate and reliable.
I've had the chance to fire all 3 models, the M8, M10 and the M13.
In my opinion the M10 is just a little to bulky, and if I had my choice I think I'd get an M13.

Another HK with a great trigger is the P9S in single action. The worst has to be the VP70Zacparmed said:I absolutely love this gun. I think it has one of the best triggeer pulls, (outside a good 1911 of course

Why it didnt' catch on?
Some new shooters thought they had to squeeze for each shot.
The gas tube heated the gun up enough to burn you.
It was heavy.
It was expensive.
First came out with a heel release and was dismissed by most US shooters early.
HK Doesn't know how to market anything.

it was the price, the Euro mag release........and it's not your usual design.........the gas tube heats up a bit........after about 30 rounds......BUT it will function with a broken extractor, and other stuff too.........I'd trust my life with it.....as i've done for over 25 yrs
