The P7 does heat up a bit but I think its exaggerated a bit. I have 5 magazines for mine and I normally shoot about 100 rounds through it in a range session. You can hold and shoot it for 100 rounds but it does get pretty warm. Not warm enough to burn you but warm enough that I let it cool before I put it back in my Kydex holster. I have pretty meaty hands and the P7 allows a very nice grip. I don't think you will have the same problem with it that you did with the P6. Good luck! The P7 is a bit pricier than soem other choices and holster selection is VERY important if you intend to carry it but the P7 is really a second to none handgun. I think you will be pleased.

I would recommend a brass .270 bore bush (make sure no steel on the end) and/or simply the factory carbon scraper, which would be sufficient by itself.

To answer two questions.
I am 6'5" like the original poster and I find the P7PSP fits my hand just fine. No problems.
Regarding the heating, just take two or 3 P7's to the range. Shoot one, let it cool, shoot the next one. That is what I do with my 3.
