I received my P7 from SOG on December 17, one day after I ordered it. The price was $645. The pistol was advertised as a P7M8. It was a PSP, which was the German Police pistol. It did not have the cheesy PSP logo on the slide, however. The pistol was definitely in 80% or so shape. I did not pay $25 for handpicking. My P7 was dirty, had a box but no tools. It came with an original manual in German. I had ordered a spare magazine for $24, but they sent me a Star BM magazine instead. I called to correct this, and the cleaning tools and firing pin tool as well as the correct magazine are being sent. So far I am moderately pleased but not thrilled over the deal. Maybe shooting the pistol will change that..............

December 18 Update:
I went to the range today with my freshly cleaned and lubed P7. I took along two value packs of Winchester White Box and a box of Federal HydraShoks. I loaded a magazine with one round, and began my routine of checking out an unknown used pistol. After several low round magazines, all was well, and I loaded a full magazine. The inherent accuracy of this fixed barrel 9mm was amazing. The area at the front of the trigger guard began to heat up as the pistol continued to digest ammo. The fluted chamber left soot on the casings, but did not seem to score them as severly as the flutes on my CETME does.
At round 119 I got a stoppage. The trigger would not release the firing mechanism. Hmmmmmmm perhaps a spring broke, although I did not see any rust on any spring while detailing the pistol the previous evening. I pulled off the grips and found that the transmission lever, part #24 had broken. So much for Heckler and Koch's unbreakable pistols.........
I placed a call to SOG, and they agreed to ship me a replacement pistol. I had my FFL dealer make the arrangements, and we boxed up the pistol to be sent back. To be continued on receipt of the second P7.
December 29,2003 Update: After having received no pistol and no magazine from SOG, I called their customer service number today. after giving my authorization codes, I was told that both the magazine and the pistol have been entered into the computer, and a replacement should be shipped within "a couple of days". Twelve days and counting..................
