I clicked on this video because I watch every video about the p7 and was surprised that I learned some new things in this one.
Same here!
Great video and knowledge sharing for the P7 fans.
Thanks!
Our SWAT officers were issued the HK P7 in the ‘80s. It was a bit heavy but an excellent, very reliable weapon.
💯- thank you for the reply and your service to your community my friend!
This is up there with James Williamson's video on the p7 series. Thank you for the work!
As a long time owner of the PSP and M8 (purchased the PSP in 1983, M8 in '92) I appreciate this video. Learn something new every day!
If they came out with a new model it would be a hit. Bring back your greatest hit HK.
It's back.
@@aiooianot by them though
Great Video! Learned a lot. Greetings from Germany.
Excellent video. Thanks for the explanations.
Excellent video. Thanks very much for posting this.
Thank you!!
Excellent, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video I have two….. was told I was crazy paying $700 back in the day box and paperwork
Yeah...I would've bought a lot more if I had thought about the price going up like they have!
As it is, I’ve got a PSP, P7(2), P7M8, and a P7M13!
Love them all!
Excellent p7 video...learned a lot...thank you
Glad it was helpful!
What are your thoughts on the relatively new company P7 Pro? The evidently use the HK Frame and manufacture the rest of the parts. They’ve added features like a pic rail and titanium option etc. great instructional and informative video. I’m looking at purchasing one (starts at $2400) because I want an everyday carry. The original is getting too expensive to carry!
I hope you are able to manufacture replacement gas cylinders and gas pistons.
Great info! Thanks for the vid
Great Information…
ThankYou
Fractured TIG welds must be from excessive bullet weight, or firing +p+ loads. If I recall correctly, HK recommends light 9mm ammo, like 115 grain. Despite owning one new since 1985, I have had zero failures due to parts breakage.
No, I think the opposite.
124 and 147 grain!
No '+P+' rounds in the P7!!
You are missing the biggest failure I experienced with the P7 -- the sear lever spring (that long L-shaped thing with a loop on one end. Over time that spring will WEAKEN, especially if you over extend it during assembly/disassembly. When it is weak enough, the P7 will double fire on a single pull of the trigger (very occasionally) because the sear lever simply will not pop up fast to catch the sear. But, it may pop up just enough to pull the firing pin block down just enough. It'll sound like the fastest double tap ever, so fast that the 2nd round will go off while the pistol is still recoiling from the 1st shot and go way high. Originally, I though it's the sear that is worn because I could see a little rounding on the bearing edge after 20 years of use. But, replacing the striker did nothing. The problem still persist very occasionally. Replacing the sear lever spring brought the instances to an end.
I think this is very interesting but it also reminds me of why they did not sell very well. Disassembled you realize how low the bore axis really is.
Please make more videos
Wonder if the new one’s being made will interchange?
hi, is there a reason not to remove the drop safety completely?
at the blowback cylinder that you show the hole is opposite to the insignia ... are they defective? the pin that holds the barrel is also holding the cylinder, correct?!
Thanks for the reply! Not 100% sure I understand your question- but, these 2 gas tubes I have are not defective, they could be installed and are in perfect unused OEM condition. The gas tube/cylinder is held in place largely by friction, if you notice the raised 2 bright areas around the circumference of the OEM cylinders, one around the gas port and one at one end, those areas largely retain the cylinder in the frame as they are pressed in. However, if you also notice the semi cutout on the opposite side of the cylinder, that is where the trigger axle/pin passes through- as a secondary means to assure the cylinder never unintentionally comes out. Hopefully that answers your question, thanks!
@@lazywolfguns2471my understanding is that the hole and the slot for the holding pin suppose to be on the same side. unless you drill the slot after installing the cylinder. it is more of a question rather an opinion. thanks
Thought the next video was about the LEM. 🤷
I already had the content for this near completion, apologies! The LEM video is coming, but I may have one more short one first….related to the current issues/controversy regarding the P320. But the next long form video is all things LEM, I promise!! 😂👍
The only thing wrong with the P7 , is that there aren't enough magazines and theye are too expensive when you do find some
Good luck getting a new P7 slide. Getting any parts for a P7 is practically impossible. Hell,getting magazines is tough and stupid expensive in 2024.
🤘 😁 🤘
If they came out with a new p7 I would buy one just to buy it. Come on hk take my damn money!!!
How does the Futurama thing go?
Shut up and take my money!
Do you re barrel p7s with threaded barrels for suppressors ?
Suppressors don't really work well on the P7 because it's a Delayed Blow Back!
I like your video, please send me your address….btw, do you work on p7 M10?
Bought one in the 80s and have replacement parts. I would Never sell it.
Good Video….but telling us the cause and effect…..was like pulling teeth to get to the point…..
OBSOLETE Gun, hard to squeeze & few CAPACITY. i had one in the late 80s.
Agree! The New Jersey State Police used them briefly in the 1980's, and they broke down continuously. Certainly, a unique gun, but very overrated, and not nearly worth the stupid prices they command.
Waiting for an airsoft version, so us "poors" can try it out LOL.
This is the LAST H&K I'd ever consider buying. It is ugly, has a dumb "safety" system, and is over priced even for an H&K. Why would anyone buy one? Grip safety systems are stupid and a terrible design. If you have a safety, then a lever safety is the way to go. Why would you ever buy this over an H&K USP? Why would you buy this over any variant of the MP5 made in America? Why would you buy this over even a Glock for that matter? Ugh, ugly, terrible safety system, and just a crap gun.
Wow. Stumbled across your vid and am truely impressed at the depth and insight. I shot the p7 years back whilst studying in germany. Fantastic smooth and accurate. Greetings from SA. 🇿🇦🫡🇺🇸
