Short barrel/slide in relation to heavy large grip requires specialized high quality holster for gun to stay flat against the belt. It uses floating chamber concept in its operation meaning theoretically it is more prone to stoppages. The front of grip needs to be compressed for gun to remain operational meaning it's hard to transfer back and forth from this gun to something else (sort of like using pump action hunting gun). I have used early police P7 and noticed the front of trigger guard would get pretty hot during prolonged firing. It does have consistent trigger pull and good accuracy and point of aim consistency due to fixed barrel-type construction. I would pass. It was replaced for service by G26 from first production run ca. 1995. The Glock still marches on
