This weekend me and a few friends got talking about guns (I know shocking) I mentioned that Commander Zero hunts deer with a PTR91 which is essentially an H&K G3. As soon as H&K came up my friend mentioned the P7

While I don’t know how I feel about such a radical gun overall, it certainly is EXTREMELY mechanically interesting, with its squeeze-cocking action for a Single-action-only gun that requires no thumb safety, and for its interesting gas-retarded blow-back design, and its REALLY low bore axis. Its also known for reliability issues thanks to the gas piston, as well as getting unpleasantly hot after a short round-count, thanks again to the hot gasses being shunted close to the shooters hand in the piston.

Gun Nuts has uploaded a video of Iain Henderson showing Shelley Rae how to run the P7

Cool video! I haven’t met Shelley, but Iain did buy me a beer and lick my face! 🙂

I won’t lie, I liked it!

    If you liked that, try to find a P7M13. 13+1 capacity, but boy, were they expensive! The MSRP back in 1995 was $1,330, according to that years Gun Digest. To give some perspective, the Standard M1A was $1,269, and Springfield usually gave you extra goodies. But they are nice pistols, for sure!
