and missed! Came home with a Walther P5 with box and 3 magazines for $615 + tax. Been wanting one of these for over a decade and this was the first time the money and the pistol came together. The ergonomics are great (which is what always drew me to this gun) but I don't know that much else about them except they competed with the P6 (sig 225) and HK P7 for the German police trials. If you folks have any info on the weapon I would love to hear it. What are the strengths? The weaknesses? Reliability, acuracy, and personal experiences?

Thanks!

Good going! The last one I saw in a shop here in SoCal was tagged at $1000! :eek:

Go check out this Walther board http://www.gothammarketing.com/ikon/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?

Thanks for the site, 10-ring! Looks like a great forum but the p99 seems to be getting all the press over there. I'll be visiting there again.
