| I went by a local shop the other day and saw a P7M8 for sale. It was brand new and in a wooden HK display box. Is HK still making the P7? I did some internet research and got mixed answers about it. What would one like that be worth? I don't remember what they were selling it for but I think it was somewhere around $900. |

If it's a Jubilee or commemorative model there should be a 1 in front of that 9. Even if it's a standard P7M8, that's a Very Good price. Check the right side of the slide; some German police surplus P7M8's were once imported, and the police marking was milled off of the slide. $900 for one of those is about right. If you want LOTS of good info on P7's go to www.parkcitiestactical.com P7 forum. |

I'm going to swing by there thursday or friday and get some more info. I don't think its a German police surplus. It looked as though it had never been fired. The wooden box mades me think that its a commemorative model. I've been looking for others online but haven't been able to find one. It was several weeks ago when i saw it originally and from what I remember it was a wood grain box, unlike the black wooden boxes I've seen in pictures for the commemoratives. EDIT: Well apparently my memory isn't as good as I thought it was. I made a phone call and found out that it is German police surplus that was refurbished as the factory and the box is plastic. |
Wait until the other parts start going too...................  The P7M8 Anniversary Edition was selling for around $1700-1800 when it came out, IIRC? This is the wooden box edition you were thinking it was, IMO. H&K has said for the last 2-3 years they'd make no more P7M8's & then there's a small trickle of them that gets imported. But it's safe to say that they're pretty much finished. Nothing wrong with the German po-po surplus models. *I* have one & it looked like it had NEVER been fired! $600!  If you do jump, I urge you to go ahead & also get 4-5 extra/spare mags for down the road use. No, they're not cheap. But think what you'll say if you can't find a mag 10 years from now...............  My .o2  |
