I bought my P7M8 in 1991 after seeing it advertised as a police trade-in in Shotgun News. It quickly became one of my favorite pistols. Living in Texas at the time, we did not have concealed carry until 1996, when (then Governor) Bush got a CCW law passed. At that point, I began to carry it, and I still do from time to time where I live now in Ohio. I've ended up with several holsters, and I thought I'd share them here.
One story I'll share is that when I bought the pistol, I was doing a lot of IPSC competition at the time, and I thought it would be a good idea to enter a limited match with my newly acquired P7M8. I was not used to the pistol yet, and on at least 3 occasions during the match, I failed to apply enough pressure on the safety to engage the pistol, resulting in frustrating failures to fire, and having to reacquire my sight picture, and squeeze harder. Needless to say, I scored terribly in that match. I practiced with it after that experience, until squeezing it became second nature, but I never fired it in competition again.
The first photo shows what my pistol came with for the $600 purchase price at that time.
The second photo is a Milt Sparks IWB setup.
This is a Triple K OWB setup.
Here's a really cool Galco SOB setup.

The holsters all together, except I forgot to include the Triple K...
Does anyone else have unique P7 holsters?
Thanks!
