The Heckler & Koch P7 series, including the M8 and M13 variants, is a unique and discontinued line of 9mm pistols. Its defining feature is the 'squeeze cocker' mechanism, which cocks the striker when the grip is squeezed and safely decocks when released.

It employs a gas-delayed blowback system, using a piston under the barrel to manage slide operation for safe cycling. While no longer in production, its innovative design makes it a notable piece of firearm history.
