I'm considering an HK P7. I've narrowed it down to the P7M8 and the P7M13 (knocking out the M3, the PSP and the M10), though I'm leaning towards the P7M13 because I'm a capacity freak. I've seen a few P7M13's on the internet, but haven't held one in a few years. My question is:

How big is the grip on a P7M13?

I'm not looking for numbers, but rather for comparisons. Is it bigger than a Beretta, about the size of a Glock 20, feels like a .45 USP, etc. Can anyone help?
 
It is big. The M13 was the first gun I ever owned. I traded it for a nickel M8. The reason: big frikin' handle. However, a good friend of mine, who is skinny and has bigger hands than mine says it feels fine (even though he really hasn't shot one). The M8 is much better ergonomically. The M13 was basically an afterthought manufactured to compete in the Army pistol trials.

P7M13 handle is about the same as Glock 20, when lever is depressed! So, when you first grab it it is actually wider. Unless you have large hands I would stick with M8, especially if you plan to use it as CCW.
 
There's definately a considerable difference, I had opportunity to get either or, but was really uncomfortable with the grip on the M13. Went with the M8 and it fits VERY nice.

Plus, M8 magazines more affordable, attainable. Is the M13 preban?,or are you Law Enforcement.
