I’ve always liked those olk HKs. But I never liked the price they wanted for them. So I still don’t have one. I think they made a short barreled version too, but I could be wrong.

Barrel length has no effect on accuracy? Really? So if I put a red dot sight on a 1-7/8” barrel revolver and a red dot sight on a 9” barrel revolver, they should shoot the same, since the red dot sights negate the difference in sight radius? Is that what you are saying?

I think you are smoking something there in your trailerpark.

That's exactly what I'm saying. As long as the barrel is long enough to stabilize the projectile obviously.

While longer barrels in rifles can produce greater velocities, which can reduce time of flight, and the resultant effect of wind drift and bullet drop, they do not produce greater "accuracy." In fact, shorter barrels of comparable thickness are stiffer, thus reducing barrel whip.

LOL, I'm just stating what is common knowledge in the shooting circles I bounce around in.

I got my two P7s for $599 ea. There are a bunch of German police trade-ins currently on the market. Mine looked brand new, not even any holster wear. Sold my lightly used P7M8 for $1200 and bought these two. You need two of them to train with so you have one to shoot while the other cools down after 50 round or so.
