Depends on just how fast you're shooting and how long you're letting it cool. Hot enough to notice? Hot enough to hurt? Hot enough to burn? Mag dumps? match? casual with chatting between? There's an initial delay for the heat to come to the surface but once it's there, it holds a lot of heat to dissipate. Going fast you could get through several mags before even noticing it but once it soaks through, it'll be HOT. More sedate pace will get hot in the same time frame but won't get as hot.Kinda in the same boat as OP, honest question when shooting a P7 how long does it take for the gun to actually get hot? This gun is like the Python for me, I want one but I would like to shoot it too.
Good luck! Let us know how it turns out! Jealous!Made an offer on a minty 1980 first year….. see what happens )
Wow, that’s a beauty! And a commercial import- very nicely done! Hope you didn’t get taken to the cleaners too bad on that one.Now I own one……
