The HK P7 is one of the most unique commercially available pistols today. While it is no longer in production there are a number floating around at gun shows and though dealers. I will dive further into its function later, but lets just say that everything going into its unique design makes it one of the safest and accurate handguns on the market. Out of the box no gunsmith required.
HK P7 pistols can be drawn, cocked and fired accurately, faster than any other pistol. The unique HK design allows the P7 to be carried safely with a round in the chamber and the pistol completely uncocked. Cocking is accomplished quickly, without changing the firing grip and by depressing the cocking lever located on the front of the grip. There is no heavy first shot trigger pull like that found on a conventional double-action pistol. There is no change in trigger pull between critical first and second shots.
To ensure accuracy, P7 pistols use a fixed polygonal barrel made by cold-hammer forging. Polygonal rifling seals propellant gases behind the bullet and increase barrel life. With its fluted chamber, the P7 will extract and eject an empty shell even if the extractor is missing. The extractor, which doubles as a loaded chamber indicator, only aids in making extraction smooth and uniform.
