While Beretta’s 92 series got the nod from the Pentagon in that case, HK did take advantage of those R&D Deutschmarks spent in the chase to field new variants of the P7 for the commercial market. Army’s XM9 9mm pistol trials in the 1980s to replace the M1911. One model, the P7A13, was even submitted to the U.S. In the end, the HK squeezebox was only adopted by a few state police agencies, namely New Jersey and Utah. with a corresponding American-style push-button magazine release rather than the European heel catch, they were marketed as “the most expensive handgun in the world,” with a list of the reasons why the P7 was superior to the more economical options. Speaking of pricey, when the guns were marketed in the U.S. However, several German counter-terrorist teams (with larger budgets) adopted the HK PSP as did the German Army Special forces (KSK Kommando Spezialkräfte). My Benelli is pretty much a safe queen now (I'm retired), but I like to take it to the range every now and then and show off.The thing is, cops in every country have a budget, even German ones, and the P7, while super neat, was kind of pricey when compared to the competition, a factor that meant it was only bought in small numbers. Takes any shotgun round including 2+1/2 inch British stuff and was an absolute hoot during my early Police Academy qualifications days at the range. My Benelli has never failed me in all these years. At the same time bought the matching 28 inch ventilated rib barrel with 3 chokes, magazine limiter rod (2-shot) and a standard butt stock for an additional $247.75. 40S&W has a date code of KH putting its manufacture year at 1997 This p30 is much newer with a date code of BD putting its manufacture year at 2013.

It cost me $557.50 back in 1986 which was a lot of money. HK pistols use a two letter date code to identify the year of manufacture. All black with rifle rights and 7 shot magazine (7+1) with rubber pistol grip. My Benelli is in the Defense/Police Configuration. The manufacture code on my Benelli is on the bottom of the receiver to the right of the trigger quard along with the proof marks. It has been posted on this sight numeroius times. If you do a search in the search box at the top of this sight and enter perhaps "Benelli Manufacturing dates" you will get the code list.
That means my Benelli was manufactired in 1986. For example on my Benelli the code is AP in a small square. The manufacturing code is a couple of letters inside a small square, not the serial number. It's just a short serial number because it's an early model. My M1 S90 also has a 5 digit serial number and was imported by H&K.
