Lugers for Self Defense?

Norm,

Yes, they have been doing the polygonal rifling thing for a long time. And you will also notice that the front part of the chamber on your M8 has all the little grooves, to bleed gas back between the case and chamber wall, to aid extraction, as though a blowback 9mm needs it.

H&K loves those grooves; puts 'em in all their guns. It distinctively marks any empty case fired in an H&K.

With the P7, squeeze everything, in any order or at the same time, and it goes "bang". Let go of everything, in any order or at the same time, or then drop it, or drive over it, or throw it at somebody, and it is instantly and totally safe; can't go "bang".

Quite a gun. In almost 25 years of owning my P7M13, I have never had a failure to feed, fire, eject, or anything else. And it is an accurate gun, although the spongy trigger leaves something to be desired. I can live with that, for all the other benefits. You can trust that gun totally. Tthat is true of very few firearms. And loading magazines is kind of a pain.
