South African Vektor CP1. These use a very similar gas-piston system as the HK P7, and are much lighter and pretty accurate. They also get as hot as a P7. LOL.
I've kept 2 of the 5 I've owned. The black one is my very rarely shot one, and the stainless model is NIB, and the only one I've ever actually laid eyes on. I managed to pick up a few extra mags [outta Alaska....go figure}, and an extra rear slide cover with an adjustable rear sight. I also have a factory embroidered patch and some magazines with articles, from back in the day. Apparently, there was some issue with them being able to fire when dropped or something......idiots and lawyers, so Vektor recalled and purchased back as many as they could, for a 100-bucks more than retail... making them pretty scarce. I know they also "updated" a few that I've seen for sale. I think it was some springs.
So, here's another oddity, and a very slick pistol....
This appears to be very close to the stories I heard, back in the day....
