    New production, moderized Walther P38s

    The Browning HP is legendary. Check out the CZ-75, they feel pretty close to the HP.

    New production, moderized Walther P38s

    Who cares about style? I mean Glocks are so ugly tears run down the back of their heads! However they work; very well. I'd trust my life to one, even if they are ugly. It boils down to what works. Anyway the reason I think a modernized P38 would work, is because SIG is very successful at...

    New production, moderized Walther P38s

    But, without cutting mag capacity or cutting the barrel that would affect performance somewhat, where else can a designer cut bulk other than the slide? To me it seems prudent to pack as much weapon in as small a space as possible. Also a redesigned P38 would stand out from its competitors...

    New production, moderized Walther P38s

    As far as a marketing standpoint goes, police departments seem to be either SIG or Glock departments. Far more departments use the P226 and P229 than the P99, so there is still a market for all metal pistols. The P38's profile is much smaller than a P226 and a Beretta 92 because of the exposed...

    No doubt they would sell. Walther has to know that too. The PPk sells well enough.

    New production, moderized Walther P38s

    I'm surprised some of those quirks didn't catch on. The barrel hanging out of the frame reduces the size of a pistol, without compromising barrel length. It ejects to the left for whatever reason, but on a pistol that doesn't really matter.

    Folks pack the good ole 1911 as cc; it's big and heavy, and a much larger profile than a P38.

    New production, moderized Walther P38s

    Something more modern. Something that could win LE contracts. The only thing that seems to hold it back is mag capacity. The weapon's inner workings are modern enough to compete with SIG and Glock; and in some ways superior to some contemporary hammer fired weapons. If Walther was able to...

    New production, moderized Walther P38s

    I wish Walther would bring back their P-38. All they would have to do is modernize it. Imagine a P-38 offered in 9mm .357 SIG and .40 SW in a full-size or compact models. Night sights, a rail optional, and double stacked mags. I believe this pistol would put Walther in direct competition...

    Top ten annoying gun things

    I stay out of gun politics, I can't hear myself think over the blaring opinions of the far-far right and the far-far left. I agree with setting a good example odor gun owners. It makes it easier for non-gun owners to not question 2ndA rights.

    The last time my wife caught me with a new gun I dropped this little gem law enforcement guys hear everyday, "that ain't mine." She wasn't convinced.

    Top ten annoying gun things

    Seriously man, a buddie and I went to a range where this guy showed us an M19717 .30 machine gun with about 2k rounds linked ammo. My buddie asked him "man, when are you going to break that out?!" The guy answered "it's for the zombies, I'm saving it for the apocalypse." I think I broke my nose...

    Zombocalypse Kids are my number one pet peeve! They're firearms training boils down to 4 day straight "The Walking Dead" power watch! Another thing I can't stand about the zombie theme in gun culture is: it makes the rest of us look like a bunch of knuckle heads. Then terms like "Zombie Ammo"...

    I was considering including Glock Snobs. Ditto to the "Glock Perfection" thing. Nothing against Glocks, but perfection c'mon! I say Glock Snobbery gets an honorable mention.

    Top ten annoying gun things

    My top ten annoying firearm things 1. AR-15 carbines with bipods.(Cause that 16" barrel is so unwieldy!) 2. Canted anything, (So you're saying your eyes aren't straight?) 3. Decals on rifles, Flags, Punisher Skulls, shark mouths, ect... (Operator as <deleted>, huh? ****!) 4. Any firearm in a...
