HECKLER & KOCH P7

Description

Developed in the 1970s, Heckler & Koch’s P7 was billed as “the best combat pistol” on the market at the time and today is a solid collectible handgun. Designed by Helmut Weldle the same forward-thinking mind that helped craft the world’s first polymer pistol, the VP70, for HK the semi-auto 9mm used a “squeeze-cocker” on the front of the grip, a concept he had recycled from an earlier handgun design that didn’t reach the market. This device cocked the internal striker of the pistol and gave it an exceptionally light single-action trigger.
