Great experiences with HKSpecialiststore and a P7

[Bentonville]

I recently purchased a P7 from hkspecialiststore.com. Gordon Miller is a first rate dealer. He was thorough and professional. He was patient and helpful as well. I also have to mention that his prices are great.
If you haven't fired a P7, you owe it to yourself to try one. I was put off for years with the reports of over heating and complicated mechanism etc. Finally I was overcome with the ITCH due to reading so many threads about this little marvel. I bit the hook and swallowed the sinker as well. I just had a typical experience at the range firing about 120 rounds through this little gun with no negative experience of heat whatsoever. I guess if I was in a firefight for a while or even pretended to be at the range it might get a little warm but in real life, I enjoyed it immensely. It is a very accurate gun with little muzzle rise due to the low bore axis. The grip feels very natural to me. It's easy to disassemble and assemble. I like everything about this gun and it is very safe due to the cocking mechanism which is easy to depress and hold. Now if I can just resist buying another one.

The heat thing is really a non issue.

In any defensive scenario the shooting would stop before it got very hot.

It can be a pain at the range though after firing about 4 magazines through it. That is how many I have. Usually people do not have that many though because they are quite pricey.

Congrats on your P7. I am a recent convert. It's impossible to accurately portray the trigger of this pistol. It's incredible. It's so easy to shoot and the reliability is everything it's cracked up to be.

A friend of mine has said that if you need more than three 8 shot magazines and the fight isn't over, you should have brought a rifle,,,,
So very true.

My only complaints to using a P7 as a defense pistol in the modern world are the facts that there are lighter pistols that carry more rounds available and decent holsters are not easy to find and expensive when a good one is located or ordered.
