Suppressed HK P7?
I know Maj Malfunction has one, but he's out of communication right now. I was wondering if anyone out there has a suppressed P7 and how it's working for you? As the P7 depends on back pressure, I'm wondering if hanging a can on the end causes any issues. A P7 with a small 9mm can should be pretty cool.

Suppressing doesn't affect the function at all. The main problem is that they tend to send a lot of particulate back in your face.
The other problem is the cost of a replacement barrel - most I've seen are close to $300, then you have to install it. The P7 barrels are pressed and pinned in place. Unless you know what you're doing, barrel replacement can be difficult.

I take it you guys can't do an extension like with the Beretta 21a?AAA wrote:Suppressing doesn't affect the function at all. The main problem is that they tend to send a lot of particulate back in your face.

Suppressed P7
I love shooting the P7 suppressed. It is a fun gun to shoot anyway like the P9S that makes a great platform for a suppressor. P7K3 in .22 is really awesome also.
Here is an adaptor that Mark McWillis makes so you can attach a subgun can with 3-lug attachment. These guns cycle everytime and don't need a booster.
Here is a picture with a Gemtech Raptor on it. Super quiet with 147gr ammo.

Yeah, the barrels are way to thin. We have done extensions in the passed but I'm hesitant to do them now.Conqueror wrote:I take it you guys can't do an extension like with the Beretta 21a?AAA wrote:Suppressing doesn't affect the function at all.

Most likely because the gun is simply blued - no modern real protective factory finishes. That is what the gunclerk told me about the P7M8. He advised me to only get certain leather for it and it would be a ppor choice for a sweaty person. The advice makes sense if it is truely only a simple blue finish.Conqueror wrote:Is that for the sake of reducing blowback or piston issues? If I was going to bother with doing this I was hoping to opt for an AWC Abraxas to complement the P7's tiny size. That can has to be shot wet to sound decent.mk23 wrote:Make sure you run the can dry

Because of blowback in the face. All the water/sooth ends up on your face. My wife goes," WTF were you doing?"Conqueror wrote:Is that for the sake of reducing blowback or piston issues?

I have a P7M8 and would almost be willing to do a hit to get it suppressed.
I honestly believe the P7M8 is the best combat pistol made, period.
I did get some flak from a gunsmith about installing tritium night sights to the slide. Apparently the slide is just not big enough for his vice
The sights work well though. I figured night sights would be nice to get when the insert in the front factory sight literally disappeared when shooting. My particular P7M8 is an "armory extra" with the police department insignia milled off. It was half the price of a new model.
The barrel does look like it is there to stay.
ETA: Rust has not been an issue. Although the slide has a rather interesting patina to it.

The barrels can be changed but they are pushed in then pined in so they are hard to get out and in if you do not know what you are doing.

first post here
as said above the barrels are very thin for an extension but i did one anyway. extended and threaded 1/2-28 for an awc abraxas. makes for a cool little package. dead nuts reliable and quite enough to run a mission if you had to. spent a whole day on the project. i had to make the tools to remove and reinstall the barrel. pics to prove it

Re: Suppressed HK P7?
Heres my M8 with a Trident9 3lug. Not a great gun to supress since it feels like getting spit in your face ever shot.
Re: Suppressed HK P7?
Hello everyone, first post. I have one of those "armory extras" that I would love to do regardless of the blowback. It's been refinished because of the humidity down here in SE Texas. Who, how, and where do I begin to see about doing this for me. Thanks.

I used Tornado Tech. Now the turnaround could be pretty long so you need to ask.
