Repairing a P7 PSP?

they don't break. and they's so accurate you can shoot other people's bullets out of the air with one. true story.
 
In most cases when a firearm is long since out of production, the manufacturer will refer you to a alternative repair and parts shop or numirch arms etc.

But if the replacement parts are not available then you are SOL and now have a $600 -$1000 paper weight, or are forced to sell it online as a parts or junk gun.

So unless you are dealing with an 1911, browning hp , colt peace maker etc. its not always wise to spend a lot on some of these, out of production guns like the SW 5906, HK P7, Star, Berretta etc.

If you pay around the $250 - $300 mark then its a gamble on a lot of these guns for parts or how long they will last.

Don't count on making what you paid for the gun or even more than you paid, all odds are you would be lucky to get half of what you paid for the gun.

You can't always count on auction idiots paying you more than something is worth.
 
What part of a P7 did you think might need to be repaired?

The only part I've ever seen break was the striker retaining collar...and those parts are still available. I've never even seen a P7 mag fail...and I've seen P7s that have had tens of thousands of rounds through them.

If I need one repaired, I'd contact Bruce Gray
 
Yep--I'm considering getting one, and I want to know if it'd be a big problem to get it fixed since they're not made anymore. I didn't have a particular part in mind, but let's say it's an extractor or striker-assembly part.

Bruce Gray seems to be the answer, which works for me. :)

One of the little mentioned facts of the P7 is that it doesn't require it's extractor to extract fired cases from the chamber. Massad Ayoob tested on, a long time ago, to see what it would take to cause it to stop functioning. Even after the extractor broke, they went several hundred rounds before finally giving up on the test.

Another gun like this is the Beretta Jetfire...it doesn't even have an extractor in it's design
 
I've heard that about the extractors. Even so, if mine were to break, I'd fix it.

Thats a good idea. If you ever needed to unload the gun without firing it then an extractor comes in handy.

I had some trepidations with buying my P7 too about parts availability. In the end I just rolled the dice and have been very pleased with the results. Despite being a complicated mess underneath, they rarely ever break and when they do, 90% of the time it is the firing pin collar. Buy the gun and get a few spare collars.

Here is a rather boring treatise on the advantages and disadvantages of the P7 pistol. There is nothing here you cannot find elseware on the net but this is the long and consolidated version.
