What’s Included
- HK factory P7M8 hard case with matching label

- Four HK factory P7M8 9x19 single-stack steel magazines (floorplate marked 'P7M8 9x19')
The P7M8’s operating system is the hallmark of the model. It uses a gas-delayed blowback design with a fixed 4.13 in barrel and a fluted chamber. The squeeze-cocking frontstrap cocks and decocks the striker, and the pistol incorporates an automatic firing-pin block with no manual safety.
Controls and handling are set up for efficient use. The ambidextrous paddle-style magazine release is positioned at the trigger guard, and the pistol features a polymer heat-shield panel above the trigger guard. The slide has rear diagonal serrations and an anti-glare rib for a clean sight picture.
Sights are fixed, with a front blade that has a white insert and a rear square-notch with a white outline. The single-stack magazine configuration provides an 8-round capacity, and the compact size supports discreet carry and balanced handling.
Construction and finish details include a blued steel frame and slide with polymer grip panels featuring a pebble texture. Markings are consistent with West German production: German nitro proof eagle over N, Ulm antler proof, "Made in W-Germany" marking, HK date code IK for 1989, and the HK Inc., Sterling, VA import stamp.
This example is supported by a clean, mirror-bright bore with excellent polygonal rifling and comes with four factory magazines, the original manual, and the factory case.
