That T-25 finish is pretty nice in person. I've seen them at gun shows finished that way. Did it come with the tool set?


Be sure to read a manual as they P7 is just different enough to need to know what's written about it.

Enjoy your new gun.

Tool set, box, manual and SIX brand new factory mags.

It carries nicely in this holster.



I usually prefer IWB, but its short enough that it doesnt hang down so low that it sticks out from under a shirt or jacket.

I shot one of my M8's this weekend, and I brought it with me on my business trip.

I really liked mine, had to sell it due to extreme poverty many years ago. Accurate, compact, almost no recoil. The squeeze cocker took some getting used to. I also like the way it felt.

They have such a low bore axis, to me they seem a little "snappy" because they push almost straight back. But that makes it easy to get back on target for follow up shots.

They are snappier for a 9mm steel gun, but the fixed barrel makes for optimum accuracy

I first shot one back in '93 when I was on the MP pistol team. The German team all had them and while training together, we all switched pistols of course and had a good time. I really like the pistol and am glad that I found one of my own a couple years ago. It's a great addition to my "family".
I know you'll enjoy yours as well!

I love the P7, but how could you love it more than your m8? My only gripe about the gun is not the heating up with excessive shooting it is the euro mag release. When i carry i only carry with one magazine so reloading is not an issue for me but if i did carry an extra mag i would want a m8 because it is setup more similar to my other guns like glocks, sigs, 1911s

Love em?

Mine is on the verge of taking the place of my CZ as my main carry piece - and that is saying A LOT.

There is NO way a person could accidentally dump a mag on this pistol.

Poorly designed holsters will cause a mag dump.

Mine is a P7M8 with a mill mark that I got for doing about $300 or $400 worth of gunsmithing work, with 5 magazines included. Someday off to Ford's it will go. Going to have my son's name put on the slide in place of the mill mark and a hard chrome finish plated on.

I like his brother the P7m13. I just hate what guns shops are asking for them. Everytime I see one for sale, I think of all the cool guns I could get for just the price of this one alone. I could pick up at least 5 used glocks for what these puppies sale for. What was I talking about? Oh, yes buying more Glocks

Rather "throw" a P7 than shoot a Glock

The P7 is the most natural-handling gun I own.
