Thanks for the explanation Grouse.

I see now why it is sought after.

I have been thinking of selling my Guardian 9mm and getting a really nice Hi Power but now I my look at the P7.

Thanks again.

I own a high power and a guardian.

I can hit a man size target 13 out of 13 times at 50 yds with the highpower

I can hit a 15" gong at 175 yds with the guardian 9 out of 10 times.

at 35ft I can hit the dime sized sticky dots at the range with the guardian. I love the high powers, but they are in no way in the same class as the DW Guardian 9mm

i will let you know on the p7

Very nice, and there is a "Cult" following...www.parkcitiestactical.com

I have owned one of every variant at one time or another, except the P7. The P7M8, my favorite, seems to be going up in price nowadays. You are lucky to find one, without the warning, for $1300-$1500. And I won't even mention the M10 and M13.

Congratulations on yours.

Love it! Had one beautifully refinished with Nils grips and new night sights but sold it in a moment of weakness. Good luck with that beauty. I have heard it called the Cadillac of carry guns but maybe BMW (or in your case Audi) would make more sense!

the trigger is a bit to get used to. I got it down now though.

I cleaned it after i got it, lubed it. I made the mistake, i think, of grabbing the patch with grease not oil and lubing the piston. I put about 200 rounds through it the first day i shot it. The fouling was so thick at the end of the piston, and piston tube it was a bitch to get free.

I cleaned it again and saw what i did. This time i used 30wt, motor oil in a light coating, wiped off the excess and put about 150 rounds through it. I did not have any problems then.

I really like the way it sucks right up to my aiming style, very intuitive. It shoots really well. To be honest, it is a toss up with my 225 i picked up a few days later. i have photos here somewhere. I will post them up.

Dime sized dots with the 22lr pistols at 25ft. I was working the kinks out on a caffeine high first thing in the morning.


the two 22lr pistols


Here i have gone over the whole poster a 2nd time with 20 rounds through each dot. I am starting to unwind after my coffee and calm down.


First target with the p225, working on da/sa trigger pulls.
18 rounds da/sa at 25 ft.


24 rounds same target 25 ft


24rnds rapid fire da/sa/sa/sa 25ft


close up



I don't have any photos with the p7 groups, but it was just as good. I will take it out and snap a few shots next range session
