HK P8 A1 - Limited Import - Collectable - Never Fired





I bought this pistol back when B&T claimed to import a limited batch of around 500 of them to the US. It has never been fired. Comes with pistol, literature, 2 translucent magazines, and serial number matching box. Transfer will need to be completed at an FFL per New Mexico law.
Below is a brief description of what the P8 A1 is, and why it is collectable in the United States.
The P8 A1 pistol is the standard sidearm of the German Armed Forces, or Bundeswehr. The P8 A1 is based on the HK USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) handgun, which was adopted by the Bundeswehr in 1994.
The P8 A1 has a unique configuration specifically for the Bundeswher. These changes include: translucent magazines, a reversed safety/decocker lever (down indicates ‘safe’, and up indicates ‘fire’ – the opposite of the standard USP), and the ‘S’ and ‘F’ letters are printed on the frame instead of onto the lever. Further, the P8 A1 has a traditional lands-and-grooves barrel instead of a polygonal barrel.
