HK P7 K3

[OLIAR15]

I’ve had a pair of P7 (M8 & M13 LNIB) for some years now. Bought them both at an auction in 2014. I always wanted one and bid on and won them both at about $ 1500 a piece, which was reasonable, even then, for Switzerland.

Since then my grail gun has been a P7 K3. Very hard to find. It’s a smaller version, blowback pistol in 9 mm Kurz (i.e. .380 ACP) and 7.65 mm Browning (i.e. .32 ACP) and .22 lr with a different slide. Hence K3, 3 Kaliber.

Last night LGS called me, he found two on a table at a small “members only” gun show. Today I rushed to his shop and snagged one. Price is $ 2100. Gun was never fired. Previous owner had bought 6 (SIX !!!) of them back then and still had abt ten various P7 on the table, including a new never fired 3 digit PSP in box.

Sadly the .22 lr conversion is missing, so maybe it’s a K2 at present. Oh well, I’m still in the hunt for the .22 conversion then.

The gun that needs two boxes.

Wow! I didn't know the K3 even existed. Don't know if any were even imported state side.

[kerplode]

Wow indeed!

Man, you have some amazing hardware. Thanks for sharing!

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

WOW. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you got one of these- - and then the guy who had six of them.... I get 'one is none', but 'five won't keep you alive'?

I know these are blowback, but I have to assume the guy knew that they wouldn't overheat like the full size guns ;)

Circa 2000 I bought a new all matching numbers k3 . 22.
The Cult only found 8 total all matching 22s . The rest were conversion kits.

[SteyrAUG]

Given that standard P7s have pinned barrels, what is involved in changing barrels on the K3?

[extremist]

In the US it would have sold for $7500 and up!

Nice snag. Cool gun.

I remember seeing exactly one K3 at a gunshow in the 1990s. It was crazy expensive even then.

The barrels are screwed in the frame and tightened with the tool supplied and pictured in the kit

First shots in 7.65 at the 25 m indoor range. Very accurate and soft shooting, a real joy

Now one of these would be an interesting GSG faux copy...

[notorious_ar15]

I'm amazed at the exceptional condition, congratulations and good luck on sourcing the .22 conversion!

[The Dumb Gun Collector]

That is a serious grail gun for a P7 guy. Bravo.

Really wish the .380 version went into standard production.

That's a real gem you got your hands! Congrats!
