I want to acknowledge that I believe "mudgunner 49" is quite right about one of the US agencies holding on to its P7 pistols. Maybe a couple of others did also. But it's still true that most of them held them only a short while. The gun is marvelous, but the differences in technique were really more than most agencies (and many civilians, for that matter) wanted to adjust to. It's as "Cocked & Locked" pointed out: if you are willing to put in the time and make the commitment, its' terrific, but making that commitment is pretty intense, and most people just don't want to do that. Traditionalism among gun-owners and gun-using agencies is very, very high. Just witness how long it took for the US military to adopt double-action revolvers, and their reluctance to give up the 1911. Europeans held P7s longer than US agencies, but the fact that the gun is no longer produced is an indication of the perceived difficulty in its use. Which is a shame because the gun really is a remarkably fine firearm.
