H&k P7

[jmcrawf1]

Does one have to just come to grips with the fact that one would have to give up a testicle and a gizzard to get one?

Seriously, where are the places that have reasonble (yes I realize they are discontinued and reasonable is relative) prices on P7's?


I saw CDNN had PSP's....

PSPs are fine if you don't mind the heel release and holsters being a little tougher to find. Keep your eye out on HKpro.com and Cult of the P7 and you'll find one in the $550 range. One or two pop up every week. I have a PSP and an M8. Just sold an M10.

Does the M8 have a thumb release?

 

[aroundlsu]

The M8 has the standard ambidextrous magazine release like on most American pistols. But expect to pay $1500+ for that luxury. It nets me about one extra second on reloads when running my shot timer compared to the heel release on the PSP. (3 seconds vs. 4 seconds on average)

I just pooped a little

My M10 sold for $3300. Here are some pictures of it before I sold it:

That M10 is sweet!

I just purchased a PSP grade B and love it even tho I have not shot it! I need to find a holster for it.
Mine only has a small amount of holster wear, but the inside of the gun doesnt even look like its been fired.
Take your time and you will find 1 in good condition for $500-$650

 

[aroundlsu]

I recommend the Milt Sparks VMII if you can find one. If you just need something quick and cheap the Bladetech UCH holster works very good and are usually in stock at Top Gun Supply.

I have a Bladetech in used condition (wore it for about six months) I can sell. PM me if you are interested.

Where did you get it?

Cool. Snarf one up up, Joel, and we can start a Bayou Shooters/P7 owner club...

If mine will ever get back to me from the re-finisher, aroundlsu and I plan to get together and compare guns and notes.

He's right, in that the Sparks VMII is the gold standard for IWB concelament holsters. But if you DO manage to find one, it will cost you your first-born; or you can get in line and wait six months or more.

I settled for a relatively new maker (TT Gunleather) near-clone of the VMII, and have been very happy with it. I also stumbled across a new Kramer IWB in Ohio that I plan to sell; but it is for the M8.

Joel, if you still haven't scored one when my two eventually get here, we'll do the range thing and you can try it out. We still need to do that J-frame session, too, don't we?
Dragginaknee, let us know if you're willing to drive over here for a get-together...

Ahem......



Yea, the last time we compared J frames, I wound up with one. I might as well just buy the P7 ahead of time right?

I just found out dragginaknee live about 15 mins. from me. Maybe he want's to carpool

I'm waiting on my PSP to come back from being refinished, too. Should be any day now. It's funny how Entergy bills seem to come in almost daily but damn gun stuff in the mail takes forever.

I've actually been lucky on the VM2s. Last month I had three of the suckers at once and actually ended up selling one. Right now I have a beautiful brand new matching holster and dual mag pouch in tan waiting on the PSP. I also picked up a set of Nill wood grips for the PSP. So I'll have a hard chrome P7 with dark wood grips and tan leather. Can't wait to see what that combination looks like. Makes me want to open carry!

We need to do a snobby Hk-only shoot! I've been wanting to try one of those staple guns out. (probably a HUGE mistake, though! )

Let's do it! I just wish I would have gotten a 416 upper while they were relatively affordable for the ultimate in snob factor.

 

[Dave328]

I'll bring my ascot and grey poupon! We can sip Henry IV with our pinkies fully extended!!
And I'll bring some Milwaukie's Best if any Glock/AK people show up!

 

[Swampy]

I wont buy Milwaukees best...... To expensive.....

Can I bring my own 40 of OE??

 

[wadepat2]

LSP and LSU how wide is the P7 compared to a 1911. Just wondering. O what do you think of this one?

[aroundlsu]

I thought you had a 416 all lined up? Isn't that why you sold the M10?????

.

I actually went with POF piston upper. The 416 uppers are 5000 dollars right now. I didn't want a gun I was afraid to scratch.

I hope to have a full report in about a week.

 

[jmcrawf1]

wadepat, it looks real clean. But something isn't "right"; its a P7 (not an M8), but the frame is marked "Trussville AL". AFAIK, they've only been in Trussville (fixing to move to Georgia, BTW) for ten years at most; and the P7 heeler has been out of production a lot longer than that. I know for a fact that HK was in Sterling, VA as late as 1990, because I was there going to an operator's course.

Again, all of the above is my understanding of the situation; I'm still new to P7s and am learning the little tidbits like this as I go. I could be totally wrong.

What I would do is make the same query on HKPro, show the link, etc. If there IS anything hinky about it, those guys will spot it right away.

.

Wouldn't $800 be a tad high?

Thanks man for the offer! Depending on which day it is I would be willing to come shoot with yall! Just keep me posted

 

[wadepat2]

Thanks LSP I think Ill be waiting awhile anyways. I've been practicing a lot with my ultra and would have to sell it to buy another gun at that price. I'm going to do a lot more research and wait for one. while ccing the ultra
thanks
