Merkel’s green light for $157m gas deal with Iran torpedoes sanctions

DEBKAfile Special Report

August 2, 2008, 12:44 PM (GMT+02:00)

German Chancellor Angela Merkel

German Chancellor Angela Merkel

German chancellor Angela Merkel blunted - in advance - the big-power drive for sanctions to punish Iran for its nuclear defiance. When Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili faced the US, European Union, the UK, France, Russia, Geneva and China in Geneva on July 19, he knew that their two-week ultimatum for Tehran’s answer to their incentives offer could be sidestepped with impunity.

DEBKAfile’s intelligence and Gulf sources report that a key sanction on the table was a ban on technology that would reduce Iran’s dependence on refined fuel products. However, as far back as February, Merkel approved a $157 million deal for the SPG (Steiner-Prematechnik Gastec) to build three plants that convert gas to liquid fuels in the Islamic Republic.

The deal was approved a month before the German chancellor’s March stood up in the Knesset, promised to push for further sanctions against Iran and declared that Israel’s security was “nonnegotiable.”

The chancellor saw no reason for Germany to hold back on trade with Iran when in June US embarked on a secret dialogue with Tehran, in July Israel decided not to complain to Berlin for fear for jeopardizing its prisoner swap with Hizballah through a German mediator, and the European Union was busy doing business with Tehran and Damascus.

Her party colleague, Harmut Schaerte was therefore instructed to push the government Export Control Office to expedite the sale. SPG directors admitted in German press interviews that were it not for Schaerte’s pressure, they would have abandoned the deal.

Only after the transactions became public, did Jerusalem belatedly asked Berlin for “clarifications.”

Since then, British prime minister Gordon Brown has been pushing European leaders to extend sanctions to include liquefied gas technology. And after Iran test-fired long-range ballistic Shehab-3 missiles, the French company Total withdrew from a liquefied gas project when Paris asked French companies not to respond to Iranian tenders.

The German chancellor has therefore decided to break away from the international front working for escalated sanctions against Iran - even though this means throwing Israel’s “nonnegotiable” security to the winds.

The assassinated Syrian general was in charge of securing the al Kibar reactor

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

August 3, 2008, 6:08 PM (GMT+02:00)

Syrian plutonium reactor demolished last September

Syrian plutonium reactor demolished last September

DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources report that Gen. Muhammad Suleiman, whom a sniper shot dead in the Syrian port town of Tartus early Saturday, Aug. 2, was a shadowy figure who acted for Bashar Assad in the regime’s four most sensitive and confidential spheres:

1. He was the president’s liaison man with the North Korean government. On his frequent trips to Pyongyang, Gen. Suleiman organized the consignment of components for the plutonium reactor in northern Syria, which Israeli demolished last September, and the security of the North Korean scientists and technicians who accompanied them.

2. Muhammad Suleiman was also the president’s private channel of communication with Iranian military and intelligence chiefs; in this capacity, he most probably facilitated the Syrian-Iranian-North Korean connection. The Syrian reactor was designed to produce nuclear fuel for the Iranian program and radioactive weapons for Syria.

3. The late general also acted as the president’s contact man with Hizballah’s leaders. He worked directly with Imad Mughniyeh, head of Hizballah’s security apparatus, who was killed in Damascus last February.

4. His key function was the management of Assad’s personal interaction with the Syrian chief of staff, generals and heads of military intelligence. There was no state secret from the powerful general. He was to have accompanied the Syrian president on his state visit to Tehran Saturday; instead he was laid to rest in his home village of Driekesh in the north.

Damascus has done its utmost to keep the general’s death under wraps, but word has spread and theories abound: Speculation ranges from an outside hand, or a jealous rival to an internal element who felt the concentration of so much power in one hand was a threat to the regime.

Israel: Power struggle leads to Netanyahu, hard man in a tough neighbourhood

As Kadima struggles to deal with Olmert's resignation, right-winger stands to gain

Binyamin "Bibi" Netanyahu was with his sons at a football match on Wednesday night when a tearful Ehud Olmert announced he would be stepping down as leader of his Kadima party after months of battling corruption allegations. But his mind may have wandered: for whatever happens next, Netanyahu - once the enfant terrible of Israeli politics and one of its most fascinating and controversial figures - stands to gain.

As the implications sink in of Olmert's decision - for Israel, the Palestinians and the wider Middle East - opinion polls show that the leader of the right-wing Likud opposition remains the Israeli public's preferred choice as prime minister.

The Dollar Coin Is Coming! Is It Good Or Bad For The Average American?


Recently, the federal government announced yet another revision of the dollar coin. This time, in order to entice collectors (and thus inflate circulation numbers), the coins will be issued depicting all of the presidents, starting with George Washington and followed every three months by another president. This would mean that my most desired coin, that of James K. Polk (obviously), will appear in the fall of 2009.

Gloria Eskridge, the associate director of sales and marketing for the United States Mint, says:

“This is about giving Americans a choice. There are times when a dollar coin is easier to use. Instead of carrying around a pocketful of quarters for public transportation, for instance, it’s more convenient to use the dollar coin.”

It makes a lot of financial sense for the United States Mint to switch to a dollar coin. While each coin would be more expensive to produce than a paper dollar, they would last a much longer time, meaning that the overall cost of having a dollar in circulation over a long period of time would be much lower.

The consumer, I fear, would face a pretty raw deal if a dollar coin went into mainstream acceptance. Vending machines would be much easier to access for people (for example, I often have pocket change; it’s much rarer for me to have a dollar bill) and thus frivolous small expenditures could become more prevalent. Vending machines wouldn’t require a dollar reader (one of the larger expenses on a machine) and thus would multiply, finding its way into niches not currently occupied. I noticed this in Great Britain recently, where there are far more vending machines (compared to the United States) due to the prevalence of the one pound coin. Remember, increased vending machine usage could increase taxable income for the United States government, which may be one reason why they’re trying to increase the popularity of the coin.

However, the only way to switch away from the dollar bill is to wholly replace it in transactions. This would require equipment upgrades in a lot of places: cash registers, vending machines, and so forth. Thus, the government is trying to push the transition gradually by trying different avenues of building general acceptance without simply locking out the printed dollar bill.

The paper dollar bill in the United States will go away soon enough and it won’t necessarily be a good thing for the average citizen’s finances. That’s part of the reason why I’m planning on using the dollar coin in educating my son on personal finance issues.

YOU MUST READ THIS NOW


After January 31, 2009, you will be required to take all of your $1.00 currency (paper bills and coins) out of circulation in favor of a new, higher-denomination bill.

The old currency can be exchanged for the new Treasury Notes at any federally-chartered bank and federal reserve bank. After April 15 of next year, all existing $1 bills and coins will technically cease to be legal tender, and although it will not be illegal for consumers and merchants to continue exchanging $1 bills and coins for goods and services, such transactions will be subject to a federal surtax of five percent (5%) that must be collected at point of sale as per 82 U.S.C. 897.345(a)(7) and applicable C.F.R. sections and administrative orders.

The new, higher-denomination U.S. Banknote replacing existing bills and coins was unveiled by the Treasury Department Friday. As indicated above, it will replace all dollar bills and one-dollar coins

Olmert to resign as Israeli prime minister

Ehud Olmert's announcement on Wednesday night to cede leadership in September could spur a party shake-up and a shakier peace process.

G-d will yet bring down Ariel Sharon, just as He has brought down every Israeli Prime Minister who has surrendered or sought to surrender any part of the Land of Israel...

State wants faulty guns replaced


Dan Kane, Staff Writer

State prison officials want gunmaker Smith & Wesson to replace hundreds of revolvers after dozens failed to shoot and the barrels broke off of others upon firing in training exercises.

The company has witnessed the problems firsthand. Last month, three company representatives met with state prison officials at a shooting range near Smithfield to test about three dozen revolvers.

Four of the revolvers didn't fire when a state weapons instructor pulled the trigger. The cylinder that holds the ammunition jammed on two revolvers. Then, the barrel broke off as the instructor fired a different model with a longer barrel, just as 14 others had in practice shoots dating back to 2003.

"In one sense it's funny," said Chief Deputy Correction Secretary Dan Stieneke. "In another, it's alarming."

In previous tests of revolvers purchased in 2004, roughly one in four misfired. They are .38 caliber Model 64s, which have 3-inch barrels. The .357 caliber Model 65s had the problem with barrel breaks. Test fires of a third revolver, the slightly smaller Model 60, resulted in cracked or sheared barrels in four cases.

No weapons have failed in the line of duty. Stieneke said the guns will remain in service while the department tries to resolve the problems, but annual in-service training will cease until a solution is found. New hires will receive weapons training because there are enough reliable revolvers to train them.

"On the one hand, statistically [the revolvers' performance] is not bad, but it's just the safety issue," Stieneke said. "That kind of failure gets people's attention."

The weapons are assigned to probation officers who keep track of probationers with more dangerous criminal histories, and to correction officers who patrol prison perimeters and escort inmates outside the facilities. (Those correction officers often carry rifles and shotguns as well.)

Correction officers inside prisons do not carry guns because there is a much greater risk that they could fall into inmates' hands. They carry pepper spray and batons.

Correction officials have asked the company to replace the 500 Model 64s purchased in 2004. They might extend that request to replace all of the department's 5,000 revolvers.

If Smith & Wesson does not replace the guns, the department might file a lawsuit or turn to taxpayers for help. Replacing the guns, which cost about $320 each, would come to more than $1.5 million. The department also would have to replace ammunition, holsters and other accessories, and retrain its officers to use the replacement weapons.

"We're at a point where if we have to make a quick switch, it's going to cost millions of dollars, and it's going to take a lot of training and effort to get back up to speed," Stieneke said.

Smith & Wesson officials did not return repeated phone calls for comment. Based in Springfield, Mass., Smith & Wesson is one of the nation's largest gunmakers.

The company's guns have drawn criticism from other law enforcement agencies. In 2001, New Jersey canceled a purchase of about 3,200 semi-automatic pistols from Smith & Wesson for its state police because of high malfunction rates.

North Carolina prison officials have been using Smith & Wesson revolvers for at least 20 years, even as many other law enforcement agencies have switched to higher-powered, semi-automatic handguns that carry more rounds.

Stieneke said that no one noticed a troublesome trend with the revolvers until late 2004, when trainers began seeing misfires with the new batch of Model 64s. A misfire is when the trigger is pulled and nothing happens.

In March and April 2005, the trainers tested all 500 of the new batch of handguns at shooting ranges across the state. They reported misfire rates of between 11 percent and 43 percent.

In the meantime, another problem emerged: barrels dropping or flying off the Model 65s during firing. The department surveyed trainers across the state and counted up 14 cases of barrel failure in the past three years.

Both problems led to the visit by Smith & Wesson on Feb. 21.
Stieneke said the revolvers are no longer a popular item and that might be contributing to their unreliability. For example, the department has had to special order the Model 65s in recent years.

That, along with the weapon failures, has Stieneke thinking it is time to follow the rest of the law enforcement community and switch to semi-automatics.

When did Obama stop taking drugs?
 Autobiography admits use of pot, cocaine, his temptation by heroin
Posted: July 30, 2008
11:00 pm Eastern

 © 2008 WorldNetDaily


WASHINGTON – Barack Obama admitted using drugs in his autobiography but never revealed if or when he stopped, points out an explosive new book on the Democratic presidential candidate written by the co-author of 2004's "Unfit for Command," the Swift Boat exposé that impacted John Kerry's campaign for the White House.

"I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years," Obama wrote in "Dreams From My Father," in a section of the book about his college days. "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it."

In "The Obama Nation," a new book by Jerome Corsi, a WND staff writer, the author speculates about why Obama disclosed his drug use.

"Why Obama chose to disclose he smoked marijuana and used cocaine at all remains a mystery," Corsi writes. "Perhaps Obama felt the information would eventually come forward from his school buddies. So, to minimize the damage from this concealed fact, Obama possibly judged self-disclosure was the best route."

Obama wrote that he stopped short of shooting heroin when it was offered to him by a friend.

"I'd looked at him standing there, surrounded by big slabs of salami and roast beef, and right then an image popped into my head of an air bubble, shine and round like a pearl, rolling quietly through a vein and stopping my heart. …"

EDWARDS' HU$H MONEY TO MISTRESS

A NATIONAL ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered John Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter – the mother of his “love child” – has been secretly receiv­ing $15,000 a month as part of an elaborate cover-up orchestrated by the former presidential contender.

The money is being funneled to Hunter by a wealthy colleague who was closely tied to the Edwards’ campaign. This same man is also shoveling cash to Edwards’ pal and former aide Andrew Young – who tried to take the heat off the ex-Senator by claiming he is the father of Rielle’s baby.

And The ENQUIRER is also exclusively revealing that Rielle’s baby is a girl named Frances Quinn Hunter and was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

“A super-rich pal – who was closely involved with the campaign finances – is helping John. It’s likely this man doesn’t know all the dirty details of John’s extramarital affair, but is acting out of loyalty and is not asking a lot of questions – only writing the checks,” revealed a source very close to the situation.

A year-long ENQUIRER investigation exploded spectacularly into the open on the night of July 21 when our reporters caught Edwards making a secret late-night visit to Rielle, 44, and their infant child at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton hotel.

Edwards, 55, was confronted by ENQUIRER reporters, but refused to answer questions and instead hid in a public men’s restroom until security escorted him off hotel grounds.

The Beverly Hilton meeting between Edwards and Rielle was pulled off with the help of Rielle’s longtime California friend Bob McGovern, who drove Rielle to the hotel from Santa Barbara, and booked two rooms under his name. Rielle and Edwards met in one of those rooms.

Edwards has refused to comment on The ENQUIRER’s account of that evening and has avoided reporters’ questions.

Obadiah Chapter 1
א חֲזוֹן, עֹבַדְיָה: כֹּה-אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה לֶאֱדוֹם, שְׁמוּעָה שָׁמַעְנוּ מֵאֵת יְהוָה וְצִיר בַּגּוֹיִם שֻׁלָּח--קוּמוּ וְנָקוּמָה עָלֶיהָ, לַמִּלְחָמָה. 1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard a message from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: 'Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.'
ב הִנֵּה קָטֹן נְתַתִּיךָ, בַּגּוֹיִם: בָּזוּי אַתָּה, מְאֹד. 2 Behold, I make thee small among the nations; thou art greatly despised.
ג זְדוֹן לִבְּךָ הִשִּׁיאֶךָ, שֹׁכְנִי בְחַגְוֵי-סֶלַע מְרוֹם שִׁבְתּוֹ; אֹמֵר בְּלִבּוֹ, מִי יוֹרִדֵנִי אָרֶץ. 3 The pride of thy heart hath beguiled thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, thy habitation on high; that sayest in thy heart: 'Who shall bring me down to the ground?'
ד אִם-תַּגְבִּיהַּ כַּנֶּשֶׁר, וְאִם-בֵּין כּוֹכָבִים שִׂים קִנֶּךָ--מִשָּׁם אוֹרִידְךָ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה. 4 Though thou make thy nest as high as the eagle, and though thou set it among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
ה אִם-גַּנָּבִים בָּאוּ-לְךָ, אִם-שׁוֹדְדֵי לַיְלָה--אֵיךְ נִדְמֵיתָה, הֲלוֹא יִגְנְבוּ דַּיָּם; אִם-בֹּצְרִים בָּאוּ לָךְ, הֲלוֹא יַשְׁאִירוּ עֹלֵלוֹת. 5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night--how art thou cut off!--would they not steal till they had enough? If grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
ו אֵיךְ נֶחְפְּשׂוּ עֵשָׂו, נִבְעוּ מַצְפֻּנָיו. 6 How is Esau searched out! How are his hidden places sought out!

ט וְחַתּוּ גִבּוֹרֶיךָ, תֵּימָן, לְמַעַן יִכָּרֶת-אִישׁ מֵהַר עֵשָׂו, מִקָּטֶל. 9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.
י מֵחֲמַס אָחִיךָ יַעֲקֹב, תְּכַסְּךָ בוּשָׁה; וְנִכְרַתָּ, לְעוֹלָם. 10 For the violence done to thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

יב וְאַל-תֵּרֶא בְיוֹם-אָחִיךָ, בְּיוֹם נָכְרוֹ, וְאַל-תִּשְׂמַח לִבְנֵי-יְהוּדָה, בְּיוֹם אָבְדָם; וְאַל-תַּגְדֵּל פִּיךָ, בְּיוֹם צָרָה. 12 But thou shouldest not have gazed on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
יג אַל-תָּבוֹא בְשַׁעַר-עַמִּי בְּיוֹם אֵידָם, אַל-תֵּרֶא גַם-אַתָּה בְּרָעָתוֹ בְּיוֹם אֵידוֹ; וְאַל-תִּשְׁלַחְנָה בְחֵילוֹ, בְּיוֹם אֵידוֹ. 13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have gazed on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.

יז וּבְהַר צִיּוֹן תִּהְיֶה פְלֵיטָה, וְהָיָה קֹדֶשׁ; וְיָרְשׁוּ בֵּית יַעֲקֹב, אֵת מוֹרָשֵׁיהֶם. 17 But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

Extremists curse Olmert with Pulsa Denura

Right-wing extremists hold mythical Kabbalistic ‘death curse’ against prime minister, exactly one year after identical ritual against then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon

Exactly one year after carrying out a “Pulsa Denura,” an ancient Kabbalistic death curse, against former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Right-wing extremists held a similar ritual targeting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Channel 10 reported Tuesday.

.......................................................................................................................................................................

"We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies...." Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert told the world in June 2005


Ehud Olmert and Israel's other treasonous leaders publicly promised that they would destroy Hezballah - Instead, they have handed Hezballah and Israel's many other Muslim terrorist enemies a tremendous physical and psychological victory

Ehud Olmert will step down after his party picks successor in two months

Israeli prime minister to quit

Israeli prime minister to quit

The announcement was made in a special broadcast to the nation from the prime minister’s Jerusalem residence Wednesday night, July 30. Olmert said he would not interfere in his Kadima party's primary vote for his successor, the first round of which takes place Sept 18 followed by a run-off if necessary on Sept. 24.

He promised a smooth transition of government to whoever Kadima elects to ease the formation of an alternative government. The prime minister said he would then devote himself to clearing his name and proving his innocence of the half dozen corruption investigations pending against him. He admitted that public and political pressure had forced him to take this step.

Four ministers have declared their candidacy in the vote to replace him, Tzipi Livni, foreign affairs, Shaul Mofaz, transport, Avi Dichter, internal security and Meir Sheetrit, immigration. However, the next government is unlikely to survive long and Israel may face a general election later this year or early 2009.

Livni, Mofaz and defense minister Ehud Barak were in Washington when the prime minister made his announcement. Livni cancelled a news conference she had scheduled.

Olmert spoke bitterly of having to contend with constant attacks on his probity while responsible for the nation’s most fateful decisions. I am proud to live in a country where the prime minister is not above the law,” he said, “but neither should he be beneath it.” He declared he had satisfactory answers to all the charges against him and was sure the truth would see the light.

While he defended his record during two and a half years in office, most political observers agree that Ehud Olmert will go down as one of Israel’s least competent prime ministers.

He leaves a country beset with an accumulation of daunting security and social problems, the most prominent being the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, the mounting strength of Israel’s declared enemies, the Syrian armed forces, Lebanon’s Hizballah and the Palestinian Hamas.

Israel-Palestinian relations are in limbo.

The incomes gap between Israel’s rich and poor has grown wider.

There is a pervasive sense of depression and insecurity under a government that neglects the issues that matter most to the people, from security to the availability of education and housing, care for the infirm and aged and a grave shortage of water.

Obama tied to Iraqi government fraud?
 Hundreds of millions in deals with candidate's associates

Antoin "Tony" Rezko

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama's office engaged in six months of negotiations with a company controlled by convicted criminal Tony Rezko to lobby the U.S. government to push through a nixed $50 million contact to train Iraqi security personnel at a site in Chicago.

The contract was awarded to Rezko's company while Aiham Alsammarae, a long-time, close Rezko friend and a contributor to Obama's campaign, served as Iraq's U.S.-appointed electricity minister, the senator's office confirms.

Rezko was a major Obama fundraiser and associate for two decades.

Alsammarae also awarded another Rezko-controlled operation as part of a $150 million contract to construct a 250-megawatt electricity plant in Iraq.

Alsammarae later was arrested by Iraqi authorities for bilking the coalition government out of some $650 million. He was sprung from prison under questionable circumstances in 2006 and escaped from Iraq, where he is still wanted for questioning with regard to major financial crimes.

The information raises questions into the nature of Obama's relationship with multiple deals made by Iraq's Electricity Ministry while Alsammarae was in charge. Obama has ties to Alsammarae and to the recipients of several of the massive contracts Alsammarae handed out.

The P7 is a German 9 mm semi-automatic pistol designed by Helmut Weldle and produced by Heckler & Koch GmbH (HK). It was revealed to the public for the first time in 1976 as the PSP (Polizei Selbstlade Pistole[1] – "police self-loading pistol").

Development

The decision to equip West German police with an advanced 9 mm pistol and replace existing 7.65 mm caliber weapons was prompted after a terrorist incident that occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.[1] The new firearm was to meet the following requirements: chamber the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge, weight - no more than 1,000 g (35 oz), the weapon’s dimensions would not exceed 180 x 130 x 34 mm, the initial muzzle energy – 500 J, service life – 10,000 rounds. The pistol was also to be fully ambidextrous, safe to carry with a loaded chamber and able to be quickly drawn and ready to fire instantaneously.[1] As a result of a competitive bid the German police forces selected three different pistols into service: the Swiss SIG-Sauer P225 (designated the P6) and two German designs – the P7 (officially called the PSP) and the Walther P5.

Series production of the P7 was initiated in 1979. Shortly after, the pistol was adopted by the German Federal Police’s counter-terrorism unit (GSG 9) and the German Army’s special forces formations.[1] The pistol was also exported to several countries. The P7 was produced by HK and Greek defense firm Hellenic Arms Industry (under license).

Design details

The P7 is a semi-automatic, blowback operated firearm. It features a gas-delayed blowback system modeled on the Swiss W+F 47 pistol prototype, which uses gas pressure of the ignited cartridge that is fed through a small vent in the barrel (just in front of the chamber) to retard the rearward motion of the slide by means of a piston contained inside a cylinder located beneath the barrel that opposes the rearward motion of the slide until the gas pressure has declined – after the bullet has left the barrel – hence allowing the slide to end its rearward motion, opening the breech and ejecting the empty cartridge case. The chamber has 18 flutes that aid in the extraction process by allowing combustion gasses to flow between the fired case and the chamber walls to free the case from the chamber walls. The drawback of this system is that the breech "opens" slightly prematurely to allow the slide to initiate its rearward motion. The high temperature gasses cycling through a tube located below the chamber area and above the trigger made the first versions of this pistol uncomfortable to shoot after the content of two magazines were fired. The advantage are a simpler manufacturing process due to the absence of locking lugs and a high accuracy due to the barrel being fixed in the frame since this pistol does not need a barrel moving rearward with the slide to delay the unlocking of the slide like with the Browning system almost universally used on other pistols.

The spring extractor is contained inside the slide, while the fixed ejector is a surface on the slide catch.

The pistol has an innovative trigger (with a squeeze cocking lever located at the front of the grip, beneath the trigger guard) and a striker firing mechanism. Pressing back the cocking lever with a force of approx. 70 N (15.7 lbf) automatically cocks the firing pin. The weapon is then fired by pressing the single stage trigger rated at approx. 20 N (4.5 lbf). The squeeze cocking lever also acts as the safety and protects against accidental firing as the lever moves forward to its initial position automatically uncocking the pistol when the lever is released. This method of operation dispensed the need for a manual safety selector while providing safety for the operator carrying the pistol with a chambered round and increased the speed with which the pistol could be deployed and fired. The trigger and firing mechanism’s method of operation (and the unique slide catch) are protected by a US patent, number 4132023, issued January 2 1979.[2]

The P7 is fed from a single-stack box magazine (with an 8 round capacity), which is held inside the firearm’s frame with a release located at the heel of the grip. After the last round has been fired, the slide will remain open thanks to a slide catch that can be released by pulling the slide further back or pressing the squeeze cocker.

The firearm uses a fixed, polygonal barrel (hexagonal with a 250 mm twist rate) and fixed notch iron sights with contrast dots that enable use in low-level lighting conditions. The pistol is completely ambidextrous and two-handed use is enhanced through the use of a profiled and enlarged trigger guard.[1]

Between 1982-1983 the P7 received several modifications, mainly to address American market demand and shooter preferences. These modifications resulted in the P7M8 model. A new magazine release lever (available on both sides of the frame) was installed just beneath the trigger guard, which forced designers to modify both the pistol’s frame and magazine. The trigger guard was equipped with a synthetic heat shield that protects the shooter from excessive heating and a lanyard attachment loop was added in place of the previous magazine heel release. The firing pin and its bushing were also changed.

Based on the P7 several other variants were built: the P7PT8, P7M13, P7K3, P7M10 and the P7M7, all of which are no longer produced by Heckler & Koch.

The P7PT8 is a dedicated, straight blowback training pistol modified for use with the 9x19mm PT training cartridge (made by Geco) with a plastic bullet (weighing 0.42 g). A “floating chamber” adapter is used inside the barrel which enhances felt recoil for use with the special ammunition. The pistols were marked with blue dots on both sides of the slide to differentiate the P7PT8 from other P7 pistols that can chamber lethal ammunition. To date about 200 pistols of this type were produced that are used mainly for simulated firing in enclosed spaces.

The P7M13 is the P7’s counterpart with a double-column magazine and a 13-round capacity. This pistol was offered (unsuccessfully) to the US Army. A variant known as the P7M13SD was produced in limited numbers exclusively for German special forces, featuring a longer (compared to the P7M13) threaded barrel and a sound suppressor.

The P7K3 is a shortened version of the P7 (inspired by the HK4 pistol) that uses straight blowback for operation. This version has a removable barrel and uses a sealed hydraulic recoil buffer in place of a gas cylinder. After swapping out the barrel and magazine it can use .380 ACP (9x17mm Short) or .32 ACP (7.65x17mm Browning SR) pistol cartridges and after replacing the slide, magazine and barrel (with floating chamber insert) – it can also be used to fire .22 LR (5.6 mm Long Rifle) ammunition.

The P7M10 was introduced to the American market in 1991.[1] It is chambered for the .40 S&W (10x22mm Smith & Wesson) round and has a double-stack 10-round magazine. With the American market in mind a variant known as the P7M7 designed to use the .45 ACP (11.43x23mm Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge was also created, however it remained only a prototype.
