It's there, you just have to look on their "other" website:

The HK-usa.com site is pretty lame. Go to the international site and you'll find it. I don't think HK-USA wants to sell these things.
Don't know anybody who shoots IDPA with a $1300 gun. Only found 2 people who actually carried one to any extent.

Go on over to the Cult of the P7 at www.parkcitiestactical.com (http://www.parkcitiestactical.com) . There are quite a few guys over there that use thier P7's competitvely. What's the point of owning a $1300 gun if your not going to enjoy it to it's full potential. The P7 is best at it's role as a CCW piece and it does tend to heat up a bit after multiple fast full mags, but in most competitions it has plenty of time to cool down in between runs.

Am I one of those 2? ;f I carry mine every day and IMO you could not ask for a better CCW.
The P7's intended role is for personal defense, CCW and training for that purpose, It's not a great choice for casual plinking at the range, But It's great accuracy and controllability under rapid fire bleeds over enough to make it more than capable of doing very well in competition. ;f

Oh I'm not saying that these guns are unsuitable for CCW or IDPA. I have a PSP and an P7M13 and I think they're great. I don't carry them for number of reasons, none of which center on reliability, accuracy, or concealability issues.
Shoot mine at an IPSC match yesterday. And needless to say it was one of the cheap guns on the range. :(
SPS - slide over to "The Range" in Oxford, NC. - That is where I have seen the most P7 in one spot. (Been a couple years since I have busted caps there though) good bunch people to shoot with.
