* Although a good pistol it suffers from Germany sindrome it is over-engineered, the designers somehow made a pistol that operates with Gas-Delayed blowback making it extremely hot after firing a few rounds and although reliable it is not easy to maintain.
* A unique feature of the P7 is a built-in cocking lever located at the front of the grip which must be squeezed before the pistol can be fired.

What, Commander, its taken you this long to ask about me? You know, during the design phase, I experienced a lot of ups and downs. But in the pursuit of perfection, I've found that I have many advantages. From now on, Commander, please take good care of me.
Ah, so you finally fell into the palm of my hand after all. Don't worry Commander, I'm serious as well, after all, we've known each other all these years... it hasn't been that long? Then rest assured, we'll know each other for even longer, haha.
