Took my new P7M8 out to the range !

Thanks to all of you who reported their experiences with H & K's P7M8. Mine came in.

OH! IS THIS A SWEET GUN ! Sweet, sweet, sweet.

The trigger break is a surprise. I couldn't anticipate it. It's Smooth. It's everything you guys said it was, and more. The grip cocker is very easy and also smooth. The ambidextrous mag release is very easy to operate. And does it ever fire that mag out!

How did I shoot? Well, in spite of my hands shaking with the new gun, my groups for the 50 rounds shot at 11 yards were about one half normal size. Fly outs were fewer, too. That was real nice.

After 50 rounds, the gun was warm, but not much. This will not be a problem the way I shoot.

Size wise, it is not that much larger than my P-11. The width is about the same, the height is slightly more and the length about 3/4" longer. It is heavyer, but with a belly band, that should not be a problem. I can see I may get a belt holster for use in the winter under a coat. Will carry it this weekend in both of my belly bands to check it out.

I am spoiled. A co-worker asked it he can shoot it some time. I said "sure, but you don't want to, you'll want one, too." He's a Glock fan.

Again, thanks TFL for all the help.
 
Nice, aren't they?

It may be my favorite gun. I lusted after one since seeing a picture of a GSG-9 trooper holding one when I was in high school.

That being said, I still tote my G29 most of the time, since I don't want to hurt my P7M8. That, and the Glock has 11 rounds of 10mm Auto on board... ;)

10mm: It's not the size of the Dawg in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!
 
I bought my first new P7PSP and after one range trip I picked up a second P7 (like-nib) because they are so great and accurate. Enjoy the M8.

Congrats on your new P7M8 working out so well... It is certainly a fine gun, and can be quite the shooter...
 
It's a great gun. Probably the best defensive pistol design of all time. Accurate, virtually no recoil, sweet trigger, and 100% reliable. Excellent safety design. Wish it came in a .45 ACP single-stack configuration since I think 9mm is about the bare minimum when choosing a defensive round.
