No, but those are easier to obtain. I would pine for the 1911 because the R9s are available.
How did you suppress the sugar/chocolate desire?
Not that I'm answering for Reinz, however, he says he has it toned down. You can do that and pretty much curb the desire, so you don't want the sugar all the time; in moderation.
We all have something. At least dark chocolate is an anti-carcinogen and helps circulation.
I would get better if I could used to be older.
Let me get this straight. You like the H&K P7, is that it?
Enigma:
I am in awe! That's what I call a "royal flush." :o
Tom those are COOL but I do have a question for ya. Why in the world did you sell 143 since you had all those you could have sold. Sure you would have had to sell 4 or 5 to get an equal amount but man....... :)
Saxony "heeler"(?)
I'll bite: What does this mean?
What Tracker said....
That one pic contains some real rare birds...and there is probably close to 15K in there in only 5 P7s
I was just picking on you. I knew there was some big money sitting there. Nice collection indeed. Which are the rareist?
ACP:
Sorry I didn't notice your question until now, but Enigma has explained it perfectly.
Over on the "Cult of the P7" forum, we "heelers" used to take a lot of grief from the M8 types -- but we usually just retorted with some disparaging remarks about the plastic heat shields which M8s have mounted above their trigger guards -- "Heelers" don' need no stinkin' heat shields! . . . and such as that . . . . ;D
Its because they cool down between reloads trying to find the mag release....
P7 - I wasn't referring to P7s, but to PSPs - the non - squeeze cockers with the funny hook on the trigger guard.
I thought those were PSP's.
Maybe I had the wrong terminology.

What would a new in the box, all papers and accessories, final run (one of 500) be valued at? Have to get more education on the variations of this gun prior to purchasing one.
Tom,
I would love to have a Chantilly M8 for all the reason's you stated but how about a PSP German Police trade for $300 less? Is it a good deal?
Should I, or should I wait?

Sorry Tom $300 less than $1,000. $699.95.
No problem Dino... ;D
and Mr. S, when you decide to "upgrade" from heeler mode, I will teach you all things P7 there "grasshopper".. 8)
Thanks men, I might have just found my dimond in the rough, check our this link, $499 for a grad B.

Ok guys I need advice in reguards to Charm school?
Help, what to do and where, sights are a must as is a new finish.
P7 - sorry about the Blonde moment back there.
I meant, P9s, is what I have as well a P7s and it is a 9mm. Haven't even seen the ol gal in quite a few years now.
I have always wanted a 45, but not been willing to part with that much cash.
Thanks for that tip!
I did shoot it a few years back, what a sweetheart - but what would you expect from an HK? sans VP70Z :P
Thanks all for the answers to my question on the last 500.
The posts about P7s have been really educational for a first time buyer and I was a bit surprised when I came back to this thread and saw the volume and quality of 411.
Another couple of questions for those who have experience with German police refurbs. The A and B grade descriptions review finish pretty well. As I would Robar, regrip, and add fresh nightsights would an "A" have an upside to a "B" grade?
Can I assume the bore and internals/working parts of the two grades are about the same? I'd pay the $200 to get an A grade if the rating meant better condition beyond finish. Seems odd that HK would focus so much on finish.
Thanks in advance for any insights!
Something modest and unpretentious, perhaps, such as fossilized woolly mammoth ivory from the Pleistocene era. Or, possibly cut from a rougly 4"x1" chunk of lapis lazuli I picked up in a Rawalpindi bazaar some years ago and have been using as a paperweight. 8)
