...hope my wife doesn't mind. 
[flame suit on] I'll come right out and say that I think HK firearms are overhyped. They are certainly very fine firearms but with the hype they get one would think they create superhuman abilities in their owners, allowing them to fly, have x-ray heat vision and excrete copious amounts of pheromones. [/flame suit off]
That said, ever since I read the book The Five Fingers (an over-the-top novel about a Special Forces mission in Vietnam) back in the early 80's, I've had a thing for the HK P7...unusual, innovative, sleek, sexy.
When CDNN showed their latest batch of the P7 PSPs, I thought they would make a dandy carry piece with lack of external switches, slim profile and low bore line. I thought I'd give it a try.
Picked mine up today. Marshall, the guy I deal with at CDNN, said he'd pick me out a nice one. Boy howdy, did he. 1987 manufacture, little holster wear...only a small spot above the serial number and the faintest bit on the edges at the muzzle end of the slide. The bore is pristine (but of course odd looking with the polygonal rifling). Klause didn't fire this one much, if at all, as there is no wear on the rails and only the faintest brass drag marks on the breech.
The squeeze cock is nifty and not really hard at all...love the idea that you drop the slide with it and are instantly ready to fire but decock just by letting go. The trigger has an extremely crisp let off but unfortunately a fair amount of takeup, with one spot of stagey creep, to get to the sear release.
I've put it in an IWB holster...the slim profile and snag free exterior just disappear. And boy is that bore low...barely peeks out above my hands.
Really looking forward to shooting it.
