A P7 that shoots .22 shorts and pellets

[Brobus]

Here is an interesting P7. This was designed for German law enforcement agencies who did not have access to shooting ranges that could accommodate large bore weapons. It has a .22 barrel and cartridges that allow it to shoot .22 shorts or pellets. The .22 shorts fit into a cartridge which converts centerfire to a rimfire via a plunger. The pellet cartridges are charged with an air pump and then a pellet is placed inside. Makes shooting a P7 in your Garage safe and fun!

Looking like a lot of fun. Do you have any pictures of the pistol on both sides. Would be interested in seeing how this was marked.

Most excellent--- is this a production unit, or a conversion unit?

This pistol configuration was never offered a commercial piece. I originally thought it was an aftermarket modification, but the slide tells a different story. The breach was milled out before the slide was blued which indicates it was done at the factory.

Intriguing--- a production (or dedicated, fully-built) v. conversion unit.
PM to you.
