The Heckler & Koch P7 is a German 9×19mm semi-automatic pistol designed by Helmut Weldle and produced from 1979 to 2008 by Heckler & Koch GmbH (H&K).[1][2] The P7M13, a variant of the P7 with a double-stack magazine, was produced until 2000.[3]
History
After the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre, the German police forces decided to replace their .32 ACP Walther PP with a similarly sized but more effective pistol chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum.[2] The new firearm was to weigh no more than 1,000 g (35 oz), not exceed 180 × 130 × 34 mm, and have a muzzle energy of no less than 500 J and a service life of at least 10,000 rounds. The pistol was also to be fully ambidextrous, safe to carry with a loaded chamber (both holstered and concealed in a pocket), and able to be quickly drawn and instantly ready to fire.[2] After a competitive bid, the German police forces selected three pistols: the Swiss SIG Sauer P225 (designated the P6) and two German designs: the P7 (officially designated the PSP) and the Walther P5.
The gun was announced in 1976 as the PSP (Polizei-Selbstlade-Pistole—"police self-loading pistol").[1]
Series production of the P7 started in 1979. Shortly after, the pistol was adopted by the German Federal Police's counter-terrorism unit (GSG 9) and the German Army's special forces formations.[2] The P7 was produced primarily by H&K but also under license in Mexico by the Departamento de Industria Militar (DIM), as a sidearm for general officers and staff.[4] The pistol was also exported to several countries.
