| I got in the West German police trade in early. Ended up with 5 of the PSP and M8 versions. Always figured I would use them as trade bait. Then I shot them, true love. Kept them all. What a great piece of firearm engineering. |

| I've shot a few of them. Always loved the 9mm's!!! This gun has always been the bane of my shooting pleasure! I've always said that I was going to grab one. New, way back in the early 90's, then I looked at a few police trade in's years ago, but EVERY SINGLE TIME, something always comes up, and prevents me from getting one. I remember shooter grades going for $500-$600, Which now are easily $1000+. One of these days!!!!

The design was started in the mid 1970's, but the P7 didn't hit production until 1979. Here's mine from 1979, with a low 4-digit serial number (3557).    |

| Back in 1999 before the surplus pistols arrived, I bought a brand new P7PSP from the final commercial run by HK. I ordered it through Bud's Gun Shop (before it became the corporation it is now) for $950. |

Import serial number was under 12,000. About 1975 or 76
PSPs did not begin coming into the United States until 1979, and none were available commercially anywhere before 1978. I have a P7, serial number 14527, proofed 1980. |

| I have two of the PSP versions.
These are seriously accurate pistols. P210 accurate.
Mine are both shot from time to time but not a lot.
Both slides have gone very plum color.
Leave as is or refinish? |

The plum color is very common. No way I’d refinish. They are definitely accurate pistols. Swiss P210’s would shoot 10 rounds into a 1.5” group at 50 meters. They aren’t that, but still impressive. |

Picked up a few around seven years ago for the $500 price. Great shooters but it’s the only handgun I’ve had a nd with. MG |

| What he said. I’d sooner give up the gas blowback/fixed barrel then the squeeze cocker and trigger. Both of those together though, make for an exceptionally accurate pistol.
