Honestly, I'd never given it a close look. In the early eighties when I was a early HK junkie it was all about the P9S, P7 and the Sig P226 and of course.... The 1911.
When I turned 19 I sold my guns and joined the army. Twenty years later I decide.... Time to do some steel shooting! I bought a 1911 and looked for a P7!
Everyplace I went to buy either...
1. Did not know what it was
Or
2. Hadn't seen one for sale in a long while!
So anyways.... I found one a month ago and bought it. Pumped at least a 1000 rounds thru it already...so much for 200rds fired LNIB
So....I've got the bug again, thank god I make decent money....I'd forgotten how expensive shooting can get.
I'm diving past FT Lewis and pop into Cabelas.... To look at the newer HKs I been reading about!
I wanted to check out the compact USP.... I held it, dry fired it, cycled it!
It felt funny...I mentioned this to the guy and asked what I normally shoot... I said P7s he said "we just got one in the library"
It had holster wear but internally was brand new! I mean like brand damn new! It felt sooooo good compared to the USP that I bought it. Whoever the weapon was issued to did not have to qualify with it.... Ok maybe once!
I now have two P7s...WTF!!!
1. Do I have a screw loose?
2. Why don't I like the new offerings from HK? They don't "feel" right at all to me!
