I promise, I wasn't looking to buy a new handgun anytime soon. Here is what is going on.
The other day after looking at some nice pictures of P7's and reading how well they shoot, I mention to a coworker how much I would like to shoot one.
He informs me that he has one and that he will let me try it out for a few days and if I like it we can talk about a price.
The very next day I pick it up and take it to the range. WOW! what a great trigger, made me a better shooter than what I am. Only gripe is how hot it got after two consecutive mags and that I never got used to the rather firm grip saftey. Aside from that, simply flawless.
I start researching price and realize that even if he offers me a good deal, It will still be out of my price range (remember I was not planning on another gun purchase any time soon)
I go back to work today and thank him for loaning me the gun but I wont be able to buy it. Before I can finish he tells me how he knows they go for around $1200, but he got a good deal and will sell it to me for $500.00.
He says it was a police trade in and was sent back to HK for reblueing.
My question is, am I crazy to pass this up? Feedback on this model is appreciated.
