#Hk p7 grips free
Or finding any free moment to sit in a chair. Besides, I’ve been acquainted with this woman for about 3 hours and WE are not clicking at all! Here is one that hashed the markings fluffed by collectors for glamour shots.Įventually I figured it out. Not being a controlling ogre, I don’t question woman about where or why they dip. Soon I noticed…she started constantly disappearing. Always bringing up the rear and not communicating well. As a team, WE were the preverbal George and Gracie act. I was blasting away trying to keep up with the wonder-9’s and she was literally one shot at a target. So I’m throwing reloads into my gun about as fast as you could blink your eye, and she never seemed to pick up the pace to reload much at all. I was running a 45 caliber 1911 with 8 round mags. And before lunch the first day, WE had major problems. Most P7’s for sale are in collector grade with original box for a reason. But whomever it was…they screwed her and me! Because at this training, since we both arrived solo, we got stuck together as partners. Maybe it was the chief? Maybe it was the FTO? Maybe it was their head firearms instructor? Dunno. I never found out if it was one of a few makes on an approved list? Or if the entire NNLPD issued them?īut what was painfully obvious…literally painfully…was that someone over at NNLPD was a gun nerd. No fancy grips don’t help fight the heat.Īnd guess what kind of gun she had? One of those HK P7 squeeze cockers. She even arrived with a few cases of PD issued duty ammo. And her PD was paying money to send her to some pretty high-levels of firearms training.
And, Boy! Let me tell ya! Her PD must have had money. Likely in the same Never-Never-Land PD mentioned earlier. Some years ago I was attending a training and in our class was a female police officer from far, far away. Coincidentally these same folks tend to post photos of these same guns that are 90%-95%-99% condition. Even folks who are issued guns for a living spend way, way, way more time carrying a gun than shooting it.īut of course…if you read the gun forums…everybody has thousands and thousands of rounds through their pistols, “trouble free” for many years. Because most people don’t actually shoot that much. Not really a big deal for most people and most guns. Explanation of the gas piston on the HK P7 And that heat migrates through the metal parts of the gun into the shooter’s hand. But the flaw is…the gun eats it’s own gas. In particular the delayed-blowback, gas-piston system. Which probably explains why it fails so hard in the real world.Īll of these squeeze cocker guns have an inherent flaw when trying to stick them into the service pistol column. Typically because the officer involved had a commission with a far off PD in Never-Never-Land. I’ve never personally bothered to confirm any. The P7 excels at that.Īnd it goes without saying…they are so uncommon that should a bad guy get a hold of your gun, that squeeze cocker might buy you a few seconds to bash the guy’s face in. Again…concepts not commonly recognized today. And having a holster makes discreetly “dumping” or hiding a gun in an emergency very hard. Because having a holster was a “tell” you were a cop. I have known a few cops who carried the P7 while working undercover. And getting one suitable for deep concealment was practically impossible. Getting one for an odd gun was even more challenging. But before every Joe was making Kydex holsters for modern, striker-fired guns getting a holster might have been a challenge. Hiding a pistol in a pocket, or down your pants, or in the small of your back, or in a bag isn’t popular these days. But back in the day, it was very common to carry a pistol without a holster. I am sure this is lost on most readers today, since everyone is a Tier-1-Ninja who does everything by the book. The squeeze cocker design is inherently “safe” for very unorthodox and deep concealment carry methods. Which means it is easy to conceal for most people. And a very unique design in a world where every modern service pistol / duty weapon is functionally the same. Now…what is there to like about the HK P7 (and all variants of the squeeze-cocker / staple gun designs)? For one, they are super cool. I have a real life, personal story I can share about that. Now before the HK fan-boy’s get butt-hurt and start dropping in photos, pictures and links of various departments and agencies that have issued the HK P7, read this to the end. No fancy grips don't help fight the heat.
