Ironically, the New Jersey State Police switched from the P7M(13 I believe?) to the S&W 99 and after encountering issues with the S&W/Walther, the officers were asking for their H&Ks back. Will the 1911 or P7 work? - certainly! But is it the absolute best choice? - even most 1911 folks would agree its probably not. but 99.9% of the time your best viable option is a Glock, M&P, or other common service pistol. I've gotten into debates over this before. Not to mention, the thought of it sitting in an evidence locker getting beat up is frightening. Any lighter polymer semi-auto will perform equally well if not better in a self-defense situation. Would I ever consider carrying it or using it for home defense? Absolutely not. If you use other handguns, even infrequently, I'd pass. If it's the only handgun you have - go ahead and carry it. It is by far my most favorite handgun design - rooted in pure ingenuity. If I could buy every H&K M7 in the world (PSP, P7M8, P7M13, etc.), I would. I totally agree with your thoughts and opinions on the subject. I would not like that to happen in an emergency. :o It's a great gun, easy to shoot and will put a smile on your face I believe. Know which you have before swapping grips. * There are two types of PSP, mag release differences. Many people take another gun to the range for cool down times. I have a bunch of mags and when I shoot fast, a quick 50 to 80 rounds, the gun gets too hot to comfortable handle. * The trigger area does get hot after shooting a number of mags.

* This is one gun you WANT to read the manual on before working on it. * The grips are locked in place, so take care when removing them. I use Slip 2000 Carbon Killer on the piston. Cleaning takes a little effort as there is the addition gas system to attend to. * The cocking lever is easy to manipulate and requires very little effort to hold. I've owned one for years and have yet to have a problem. The trigger is light and short and the fixed barrel is am accurate platform. It is cocked or uncocked very quickly, very easily.

The action is very safe, which is it's lever cocking mechanism's main benefit. Though not small, it is pretty compact, especially considering it has a 4' barrel. The P7 has some unique features and is a great collectable IMHO.

I have both the PSP and the P7M8, the same gun but with the more modern lever mag release that HK has adopted. It is as large and heavy as many other more conventional pistols, and much larger than guns like the small Ruger 9mm. Many people are deceived by pictures into thinking that the P7 is a small pistol. Not a problem of the pistol but of buyers. But I know of no grip safety that requires the force needed to operate the P7 cocking lever.Īn additional note. Fans will respond that the grip is automatic, like a grip safety. For a short time, true, but IMHO that is too long. Some folks like it, but my problem is that unless a 'death grip' is kept on the gun, it will uncock and the pistol will become inoperable. Its unique (AFAIK) blowback-retarding piston was H&K's answer, but it is complex and expensive compared to the more common tilting barrel (Browning) system.īut my main objection is not that system, but the squeeze cocking idea. It and some other guns were developed in response to one-time German police requirement for a 9x19 pistol with a fixed barrel.

The P7 series has a lot of fans I am not one of them.
