but P7M10 mags fit into a P7M13. And guess what, they hold 13 rounds. The law defines the capacity of the mag for which cartridge it was designed. However 9mm fits without modification.

Sssssssh, that is crazy talk whether for HKs or Berettas.
Absolutely. Five of the nicest, most helpful guys on the internet.
Seriously, they're really, really into P7s, all variants of them. Deeply knowledgeable bunch who don't laugh at newbie questions. One of the most impressive specialist, narrow-focus otaku communities I've come across.
Explain your version of not expensive then. The $70 mentioned above is the cheapest I have seen so far, with $100 per being more common. That $70 is more than double the cost for mags than anything else I own.
PM me if you want to keep sources and prices quiet.

X3 - can always use more mags.
You forgot to say "#####".
And, so it's said, I figured a great big honkin' picture of a 9mm pistol lying across Stephanie Seymour's teats surrounded by Swiss 5.56mm rounds loaded into M8 mags with a focking hioudge RTFM underscoring it would be perceived as self-mocking satire. More fool me.
But seriously, yes, they're expensive and hard-to-find... in Canada. We're not 1970s South Africa, yet, but we still don't have the kind of market that permits anything pistol-related to be found cheaply. This being on the fringes of Canadian pistoldom, it and its accessories get priced somewhat exotically.
Four of those magazines came with the pistol when I bought it. Picked the other seven up on one of the US firearms board equipment exchanges. Stroke of luck, really. Guy having a post-theft sale, liquidating now useless-to-him stuff from his parts trunk. Used, six in NP3 and one blue, the total worked out to $38 US each, mailed. Deals are out there, sometimes, though I agree that $38 US per secondhand magazine screams "deal" only in the relative sense.
Some of the niche-market US HK sellers have them for $56 US each, new in package. If you've got friends in the US and/or have the import problem licked, at today's exchange rates, there's your answer.

KOC, no offense meant. I missed the satire/sarcasm completely. $38 each is a screaming deal for P7 mags.

No damage here, I assure you.
To continue the deconstruction, new-in-bag P7 (PSP) magazines will generally be more expensive and harder to find than P7M8 mags. Simply a question of the quantities produced, and of the number of years since production was stopped. If you have any plans on buying a P7 variant for use in action shooting competitions, for example, P7M8 would be the choice, and not only for its magazine release style.
I'd shot the P7 PSP, but I bought M8, partly because I liked the way the larger trigger guard looked, partly because I intend to shoot some casual IPSC with it and therefore preferred its magazine release, and partly because I figured it'd be easier to find M8 magazines, and easier to get M8 spare parts if it broke. Not quite ready to write a supreme court decision on it all yet, but so far, I'm happy with my choice.

I would think so, too. It can't be a licensing issue, there is no copyright or patent on a simple box mag and a company can make them in whatever shape they like. If that shape happens to fit a P7, so be it.
Hmmm, there might be something to the mag design. I just looked at Marstar's site and they list P7 mags for $45, which is one of the more expensive mags they show. For comparison, NP-29 mags (9mm 1911) are $25 each and I would have said the P7 mag wasn't much different than the 1911 one. Either way, the P7 mags are out of stock and probably never to return if they are like many of Marstar's listings.
