Hi Richard,
What a great memory for your Mom to have given you your Dad's 1906 Winchester pump, and then add a membership to the NRA AND all the rest.. Your Mom must have been something.
Best Wishes,
Jesse
Yes, Jesse, she was a real "Spartan Mother," a school teacher who never remarried and who, at her funeral, had literally hundreds of her former students come to pay their respects. I was overwhelmed, having expected only a few cousins and friends. However, I might have known something unusual would occur, since she had once been named Oklahoma Teacher of the Year.
But, on the subject of P7s, here is that one of mine equipped with the Universal Clipdraw and Micarta grips I described earlier:

This is what I call the P7's "duty rig," and that Clipdraw gives new meaning to the words, "stick it in your pants." (Incidentally, the Universal Clipdraw is screwed into a metal strip that is secured -- and I do mean secured -- to the slide by industrial-strength tape. The entire thing can be removed with no damage to the finish of the slide.)
Reinz:
I guess I'm "busted" -- going to a Clipdraw, changing from Ballistol to Frog Lube, and dropping down from 147 to 124 grain ammo. This "old dog" seems to be learning new tricks after all. Who knows, I may soon even stop downloading my carry magazines by one.
Back to the P7, the pièce de résistance is not seen on that right-side view but on the left . . .

All of that "ain't too shabby" for a retired duty pistol from the Lower Saxony State Police. The old girl "cleaned up rather well" and I can now take her anywhere. 8)
