Heckler & Koch P7 cutaway
 

just want to introduce a H&K P7 pistol finished a few years ago and was given to a buddy as present for retyering.

Steamed Tac,

Hello Roland,

Was this a factory-made cut-away gun or was it done, later, by a skilled gunsmith ?

Regards,

Pete,

did make that myself with the help of another indentical pice. The problem was to mill all the hardened parts like the slide, frame etc.
I thought that it will come out very good if it is not reblued and has the original finish with all the holster wear.

I have to ask, why would you do something like this to a P-7? I own one and consider it one of the finest small concealable autos in my collection, maybe in the world, espceially that it is in 9mm.

Glad you asked that Bob... I was wondering the same thing...

How about it Roland... why would you do this to an otherwise serviceable pistol?

Hello Schwob and John,
let me say first one sentence: living in Germany is very hard sometimes and much different than your country!
believe me, I can feel with You! But in that case I had only two ways to go: destroying ore making someting to avoid that.
So a cutaway was born.
Anyhow, that one has more than 10.000 rounds fired. There are some parts really worn out (I know, that is not a real reason, just a attempt to explain what happened!)

I believe I understand the situation completely... too bad Roland...

That's a hard one to swallow. I'm sorry you have to do that to a good P7 PSP. I've got a few P7's and they are by far the best handguns out there. Even at the 10,000 round mark, these handguns will still march on.
