The P7K3 is the most recent and smallestmember of the P7 family.
Through the use of caliber conversion kits,each gun can be converted to three different calibers (Kalibers3). Unlike the fixed barrel of the larger guns, the P7K3 barrel is held inplace in the frame by a barrel nut. It can be removed and exchangedfor a barrel of a different caliber. The barrels have polygon profilebores.
When converting to .22 LR, which is a rimfire round, the whole slide must also be exchanged. This second slideis part of the .22 LR conversion kit. The .22 LR conversion barrelhas an unusual 'piston' in the end of the barrel with the actual .22 chamberin this piston, When the gun fires the chamber pressure is appliedto the entire area of the piston, and not just the cartridge. Thisprovides sufficient force to cycle the action.
The P7K3 has an inertia blow-back action,unlike the gas-retarded action of the P7M8, etc. It uses uses a hydraulicslide buffer in place of the gas-retarding piston of the larger guns inthe family. A gauge is supplied with the gun to see if the littlebuffer piston is still sticking out far enough. If it isn't, thenit is worn out. The piston could be replaced if HK would sell orgive you one -- but they typically won't, so the gun is junk at that point.Checkthis when buying.

Conversion Kits
The caliber conversion kits for the P7K3come in a box like this.
This one holds both a .32 kit and a .22LR kit. The .22 LR kit also includes a new slide, and a cleaningtool.
.22 LR Conversion
The conversion has a new slide to allowthe use of rim fire (vs. center fire) ammo.
The barrel is a bit unusual in that ithas a floating piston built into the end. A scraper tool is suppliedto scrape powder residue from the end of the barrel where the piston fitsand from the piston.
When the round fires, the chamber pressureis applied to not just the area of the .22 LR cartridge head, but the areaof the whole piston. This generates a much higher force, which givesexcellent cycling with the .22 LR round. It is much better that it'spredecessor (the HK4) which required hot ammo and a firm grip.
Variations
There are two variations of the P7K3 thatI know of (and have owned), the USA Model and the German Model. TheUSA Model was the only one imported by H&K themselves -- other importerssuch as CCF imported the German Model.
