This is probably a question for the P7 experts of which there are several on this forum.
I should preface this by saying that I won't own a pistol I can't carry. So if it is to valuable, I won't buy it. Hence my questions really are based on carrying.
I was struggling looking for P7M13 specs recently since there was one for sale. We just don't get to see them locally. Heck it has been a while since I have seen an P7M8 here, so long that I can't remember much even about that one.
Anyway what specs I could find were like wiki specs. I was a little surprised by the size of the 13. Not to say it is a large pistol by any means but seemed relatively similar to the P30 for example while it must not be as bulky as a P30.....no P-rail etc etc. Still the specs suggested it to be larger than I expected.
The wiki specs had the M8 at 1.1" wide and the M13 at 1.3" wide for example. I am guessing that the difference must be the magazine but I thought I would ask.
Wiki specs also had the barrel length the same for both the 8 and the 13 but showed a longer overall length for the 13 (6.9") than the 8 (6.7"). So in that case I really don't have a ready made answer like I have for the width difference and the mag capacities.
Height is shown at greater for the 13 than the 8 but there again I attribute that to mag capacity. Anyway it is the length that I cannot really attribute to anything. Can somebody comment on the length difference. I may or may not jump at a chance to get another 13 but might try to get an 8. Maybe should have jumped at the 13 but I figured by the time I got the dims figured out it would be gone.
