    With the weight, capacity, and complication (I know, its a training issue), I guess it just seems like a heavy trade-off, buthell, if it works. I always looked at it more as a curio type gun. never knew anyone to carry one.

    I know you carry daily. Is it substantially heavier than say a Glock 19? If so, is it that much better tio justify the weight and capcity issues?

    Just ask what that girl will do to/on a table at hooters ;)

    Glad to hear she still likes to squeeze the cock teddy. I still say that manual safeties are for suckers, combat tupperware is what all the cool kids use.

    The P7M8 is 28oz empty. The G19 is 21oz empty, however with a fully loaded mag and at least one extra on your hip I'm sure the weight will catch up.

    I tried to explain this to her parents. It's not a P7 vs. Glock thing because they are entirely different pistols. Not even remotely similar. You can't even compare because about the only thing similar is they both shoot bullets. Hell, they don't even use the same principal to cycle the action.

    Regarding capacity, I'm comfortable with 8+1 plus two extra mags on my hip. If you aren't, they make the P7M13 for you (13+1 capacity).
