And, the peek under the hood. More little pieces on the other side, too. I don't know what inspired someone to design this, unless it was a former watchmaker who wanted to try his hand at handguns.
As you can see, the P7 sits vey low in the hand, making for better pointing and less recoil. And being all steel, it has more heft, good for the hand, not so good when in the holster all day.
I think it takes 20+ pounds to squeeze the grip, but less than that to keep it squozed. Presently, that means muscle tremors and jiggles for me. If I can beat that, I'll give serious thought to using it as my carry weapon. Other than the big squeeze, it has superb handling and firing qualities, and I've already run some red-hot 9mm defensive ammo through it.
This P7M8 has been ROAD ("retired on active duty") for 25 years now. Maybe it's time for it to start working for its ammo.
