Zak Smith Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I found this gem of a HK P7PSP on vacation. Made in '81, it looks new. Price was a steal. -z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 That is one sweet looking gun Congrats! I have the P7M13 version. These guns are so accurate it's scary. I got mine with a 5 shot 1" group on the test target at 25m. The only weak point of this gun is the drop catch safety + spring. That means it's not wise to decock it alot, or to dryfire without snap caps. Your guns seems to be in excellent condition, judging from the photo. It also doesn't seem to be a "refurb". BTW, if you like this type of gun, check out www.parkcitiestactical.com Excellent P7 forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Larry Cazes Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Nice gun .....I have always wanted one of these. Let us know how it shoots. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Smith Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 The gun has none of the telltale signs of the refurbs. Can you explain which parts comprise the weak point? By decocking, you mean releasing the squeeze-cocker? -z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dunn Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Holy crap! I didn't know they made them in .357, or are those .44 mag rounds? Nice pick up, that thing looks mint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Smith Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hey, I spent two days trying to figure out how to load those .44MAG rounds in.... -z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Zak, It looks neat! BTW, What is considered a "steal" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdj Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Nice gun! The very first pistol I ever shot was a (now named) P7/PSP and I have a soft spot for them. I've just bought a P7M8 (since the last time I tried they were not on the approved list in CA and now they are again, so I grabbed one before they change their mind again!). They really are unique and people seem to either love them or hate them. I'm in the former camp Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Can you explain which parts comprise the weak point? Zak, the parts that comprise the weak points are the drop safety catch (the small part that catches the firing pin when you decock it + the spring that moves it). The firing pin spring is strong, so when you decock it a lot, the firing pin will break the catch. By decocking, you mean releasing the squeeze-cocker? Yes, releasing the squeeze-cocker when the gun is cocked. The best way to decock this gun (when you're dry firing or so) is to pull the slide back about half an inch (you can actually feel the catch pull the firing pin) and then letting go of the squeeze-cocker and moving the slide back forward. It's a shame H&K hasn't beefed up this little metal thingy. I broke the catch once and the spring twice, but...that was after lots of dryfire (I paid $90 for the catch an$7 for the springs ) OTOH, never (seriously..never!) had a jam. Accuracy is unbelievable (and not just "for a small gun". It's really amazing). They sit ultra low in your hand. Too bad there's no IDPA in my country. Because reloading from slide-lock with P7's is very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
