HK p7

[Richard S]

I, too, lust for a P7M8 and am certain that there is one lurking around in my future.  My problem is that my little wife and I have this arrangement -- for every new gun I purchase she gets to purchase some antique of undetermined but definitely greater value.  That kind of arrangement makes a man cautious.   :-/

In that regard I have had some limited success with
"hold-out funds" that were not subject to budget approval.

Tracker:

Unfortunately, I revealed and played that card too early in the pursuit of my lady.

I understand that, too; priorities can ebb and flow.

I carried the P7 on and off duty for years and love it.I carry it now on occasion but a HK Tactical .45 or one of my Wilson`s genereally accompany me since I retired.Back up was a Seecamp or custom NAA .22 Magnum.The back up will be the R9 on TU when it arrives.I found the P7 took a little more getting used to due to the operating system.I also have a P7K3  in .32/.380 and love it.

I am really disappointed that the P7 has been discontinued.  I had the chance to shoot a rental P7M8, and it is one of the easiest to shoot guns I have ever shot.  I have also shot one of the rental USP's, and was nowhere near as impressed.

Richard: I'll make sure to remind you often!  

Well...  Just to make you feel MUCH better; My NIB P7 M8, will be here this Wednesday...  
Oh yah, it's coming in W/ it's Big(!?) 'Lil Bro. my new S&W Custom Shop 3" Carry Comp., 629...
I would say "Neener-Neener..!!", but that would be childish..!                                  

Sorry; Love you Guys (& GAls...) but I "Had" to share..! (LOL..!)

Teddy Jacobson says the P-7 is the best 9 mm. on
the planet--period.

I MAY agree w/ "T_j's" assessment, and he does "Beautiful trigger work", but he's +++ I've withdrwn this jibberish to make peace & stop being rude...  T_j; Sir, Once again, I appologize...  Truth be known; "I'd love the chance for some 1 on 1 w/ you to learn a thing or 2..."  I may be able to surprise you as well..!

I have read many similar comments about TJ and many, no
doubt, have some validity; however, after knowing him for
over 10 years both as a friend and a gunsmith, I can honestly
say nothing but good things about him. His work is first-rate
and his integrity is beyond reproach. I do know that he
responds very directly to adverse or disrespectful comments
or behavior. This is my experience and opinion and I do not
wish to engage in any arguments about it. Eric is right: we
can't all bat 1000 with our personal and professional
relationships.

[Richard S]

TJ is one of the very best there is at what he does.  That is about as high an amount of praise as a man needs in his lifetime.  He's right up there with RJ in his craft.  They've both earned the right to be slightly cantankerous.  I'm becoming that way myself, and with less justification than they have to do so.

As you get older, life gets better -- mainly because you don't have to care as much as you once did about what other people think of you.  

I've said it before.  I'll say it again.  Life is good!      

[tracker]

Very well said, Richard; the independence of spirit that is
gained after years of trying to please others is sweet indeed.
It seems that after all the noise we just need to be
accountable to ourselves, the harshest critic.

[Newt]

Well I went ahead and did it, new P7M8 "Chantilly", it will be here next week. Do I need the Nills?

[Richard S]

Newt:

Congratulations!  (I'm keeping a slot in my gunsafe reserved for one of those.)
