Sights / Optics
The front sight is a blade with a white dot. The rear sight is a square notch with two white dots. Both sights are dovetailed into the slide.
Grip Configuration & Condition
The pistol is fitted with two-piece KN Nill-Griffe wood grips featuring smooth borders and checkered panels. There is a crack at the top rear corner of the right grip panel. Aside from this flaw, wear is minimal, with strong checkering and no chips. Overall grip condition: Fine, limited only by the crack.
Finish & Overall Condition
Type of Finish: Nickel
Finish Originality: Original
This pistol retains approximately 98% of its nickel finish. There are a few light nicks and faint lines on the slide, along with minor handling and operational wear. Markings remain crisp and clear, and screw heads are sharp. Overall condition: Fine to Excellent.
Bore & Mechanics
Bore Condition: Bright with sharp rifling and a few faint freckles of erosion near the muzzle. Rated 9/10.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The P7M10 uses Heckler & Koch’s gas-delayed blowback system with a frontstrap squeeze-cocking lever, allowing the pistol to be carried safely with a loaded chamber and cocked instantly when gripped. Slide-to-frame fit is tight. The pistol has not been test-fired. Cleaning is recommended to meet individual maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories
Included are four 10-round magazines, two manuals, cleaning tools, and a non-matching HK box.
Our Assessment
The P7 series was developed in response to West Germany’s post–Munich Olympics requirement for a modern, safe, and immediately deployable service pistol. The result was one of the most innovative handgun designs ever adopted for police and military use. The squeeze-cocking system allows the pistol to remain inert until intentionally gripped, while delivering a short, consistent trigger pull once cocked.
Originally introduced in 9mm as the PSP and later refined into the P7M8 and double-stack P7M13, the design was ultimately reinforced to handle the .40 S&W cartridge with the introduction of the P7M10 in 1991. Production of the P7M10 was limited, lasting only a few years, making it the rarest of the major P7 variants.
This 1992 example remains in excellent condition with strong finish, a bright bore, and complete accessories. With its all-steel construction, advanced gas-delayed system, and iconic squeeze-cocking mechanism, the P7M10 stands as both a pinnacle of German engineering and a true collector-grade modern handgun.
