HK P7 K3

[Classic12]

I’ve had a pair of P7 (M8 & M13 LNIB) for some years now. Bought them both at an auction in 2014. I always wanted one and bid on and won them both at about $ 1500 a piece, which was reasonable, even then, for Switzerland.

Since then my grail gun has been a P7 K3. Very hard to find. It’s a smaller version, blowback pistol in 9 mm Kurz (i.e. .380 ACP) and 7.65 mm Browning (i.e. .32 ACP) and .22 lr with a different slide. Hence K3, 3 Kaliber.

Last night LGS called me, he found two on a table at a small “members only” gun show. Today I rushed to his shop and snagged one. Price is $ 2100. Gun was never fired. Previous owner had bought 6 (SIX !!!) of them back then and still had abt ten various P7 on the table, including a new never fired 3 digit PSP in box.

Sadly the .22 lr conversion is missing, so maybe it’s a K2 at present. Oh well, I’m still in the hunt for the .22 conversion then.

The gun that needs two boxes.

Nice pistol, and nice serial number!

How do those barrels work since the original p7s had the barrels attached to the frame? Do these drop in like every other plastic winder 9 these days?

The barrels are screwed in the frame and tightened with the tool supplied and pictured in the kit

I had a P7 and a P13 back in the 90’s. The two guns I wish I had never sold.

Should’ve made a 10mm model ... Major league cat’s ass right there.

They are cool guns. I have a P7 PSP that was a Police trade in. Bought it maybe 15 years ago for $500. It’s a nice shooter. I’m glad in a way it isn’t LNIB, so I don’t feel bad about shooting it.

What a great find and at a comparatively low price. Plain Jane PSPs sell for that amount here. K3s are in the $3K prices, if you can find one. Complete sets very rare, ANIB unheard of. Color me green with envy.

Are you going to shoot it? In what condition is the buffer?

Same here; I have two that go to the range regularly when I'm shooting 9mm. I have less invested in both than what 1 today costs

I believe the buffer is like the rest of the pistol, brand spanking new. Original owner said it was never fired.

I don’t have to believe him, but there are no traces of powder residue, carbon, brass or copper anywhere in the gun, only what appears to be factory applied grease.

Neophyte. Is it the date of creation or use or something else that creates the "plum" color? Those are sure black.

First shots in 7.65 at the 25 m indoor range. Very accurate and soft shooting, a real joy

I love the P7 series.

I have a PSP that I bought maybe 15 or so years ago.
