I have been thinking of picking up one of the many German Police trade-in H&K P7PSP imports that it seems everyone are selling these days (still not sure if I want to get a B grade or A grade one). I never owned or really handled one in person a P7PSP or P7M6 before, so I'm not sure what to except with the squeeze cocker platform. From everything I have been hearing about them on all the gun boards, is most people either end up really loving them, or end up not really caring for them (not for them). I know they are suppose to be a highly accurate pistol, with the fixed barrel design.
My only concern right now about buying one (and is sort of holding me back) is the mag supply for them right now seems very low (from my understanding all of these A and B grade P7PSP police trade-ins are only coming with one mag included). Why is it I am hearing that everyone has a boat load of these police trade-in pistols imported into the U.S. to sell, but the spare mags for them have all but dried up (CDNN officially has no more of them, not even the used ones). Isn't H&K importing spare mags for the P7PSP into the U.S. as well (if they are, it isn't enough (IMHO)? I have tried doing searches on the Internet and have only found a few places that have them in stock and those places are asking way to much money (IMHO) (yes, I know, supply and demand). The prices and availability on the P7M6/P7M13 mags are even worse, its just about the same as the Glock pre-ban mags were during the AWB (I know, I hate to bring up bad memories
). Now, what would be great is if Mec-Gar (who makes OEM mags for Beretta, CZ, Sig and many others) could get permission/sign a contract from/with H&K to produce P7 mags (maybe start out producing only PSP and M6 mags at first), that would help lower the prices back down and every P7 owner could then afford to own 4-8 mags for their pistol (like most do for their other pistols). I have a feeling this is most likely not going to happen, as either Mec-Gar and other third party mag producers have already approached H&K about the getting the rights to manufacture P7 mags and were told no by H&K, or if they haven't yet, H&K will tell them no.
