I had a P88 for 30 years before I parted with it a few years ago. The ergonomics did not suit me better than those of the P7M13. I had bought the P88 for $650 pre-owned around 1993, when a used HK P7 was about the same price. While a nice P88 still goes for around $1,200 even a surplus HK PSP is closer to $2,000 and the P7M13 starts around $3,500. During the 1990s there was a batch of the Danish surplus 47/8 imported that sold starting at $800 in different qualities, from original to factory refinished. FWIW, I looked up what the house I had bought in 1992 is worth now. The value increased 400%.
I have a P38 that I still occasionally shoot, several Swiss P210s that I love to shoot for accuracy and the great quality, the three P7s have gathered dust in the safe for a while.
