I own a P7 that I got from CDNN over a year ago. At just about $500 out the door, I felt it was a great bargain for the quality and history and it was virtually new in box.
The magazines are expensive but built like tanks, they will last forever.
Very accurate and easy to hit with under stress. Nice single action trigger.
For me, a great point shooting gun.
Cleaning it takes some getting used to as the insides do get dirty due to the blowback action. I just foam the whole thing scrub, flush and re lube.
Manual of arms is not that hard to acclimate to. I usually carry a compact 1911 and I'm able to use both. Hell, I can even shoot revolvers if I pay attention!
It's not a compact gun, it's a "condensed" gun. You get a full length barrel, a full size grip and all steel construction that while full weight, fits in a PPKS size box.
Mine has 3 actual uses for me:
1) It's my carry gun when I fly and don't want to risk checking my expensive compact 1911.
2) I use it with a Nemesis pocket holster in my ski jacket so I don't have to leave my pistol unattended while skiing. Only auto I'd feel safe doing that with it loaded.
3) In a Nemesis Cargo pocket holster it makes a great cold weather coat pocket gun. slim no snag and safe.
one last thing, when I first got it I showed it off to 6 friends who are avid shooters one is a LEO firearms training Sargent with 25 years in, another is a transit officer with 2 years and the rest a mix of prior military or not etc from my gun club.
With each one I did the same drill: Had one come up to the line with me, pistol is loaded and on the bench. I say "watch carefully" then I picked up the gun and fired 3 rounds, put it back on the bench and said "fire the gun" and started a stopwatch in my pocket. only one of them was able to get the pistol to fire without instruction and it took her over 2 minutes...
