New P7 slide markings

[maxmanta]

My new P7 has radically different slide markings than those I've seen in the past.

The right side has the traditional serial# and proof marks, but the left simply says: Heckler & Koch Made in Germany. I don't see any cartridge label, and the "Orberdorf/n" mark is gone.

Was this gun still made in the Oberndorf factory, or did HK decide to get cheap and save money on a rollmark on a gun they were going to charge $1500 for?

Haven't shot it yet. I'm sure it will work fine.

They had to save money on the left side ... since the right side got the damn warning on it :animlol:
OK OK.it was a joke.... anyhow mine has the 9x19mm on the left slide
Also, since you bring it up... this is the first P7 that has the "JS" in a circle on the right slide, right next to the HK markings

NOT A SLAM, BUT is this a collectors gun? I am not familiar much with HK's other than I have a HK P7, but I carry it and shoot it. It is my only one and I love it, but I am not leaving in a box:banana:

Some collect them and they sure won't loose their value... but as with any other gun I look at it as a tool.
There is some other reasons at this time for me to not shoot this P7M8.
It is not by any means a safequeen nor will it be.
