new Walther p5c

[doctorhumbert]

I Picked up LNIB Walther P5compact for $850 from the local seller last week. It was interarm import marking. It received minor scratches from rubbing inside box, but seems unfired.
I already have HK p7M8 as my favorite, but wanted something that is less hassel to clean and more conventional in design.
Anyway, what a neat pistol!

Heres what I think of it in case anyone care:

Pro:

-Extremely safe design.
-combination Slide release and decocker.
-Front and rear locking barrel.
-Smooth single stage trigger pull in double or single action.
-Windage adjustable rear sight.
-very slim grip.
-It's Walther.

Con"
-Alloy frame.
-Rather wide slide for a compact gun.
-No loaded indicator.

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get Factory Smooth wooden grips? If not where is best place to buy Nill grips?

I bought stippled walnut frip from Nills today. They also had smooth grip. Curious to know what it would've looked like.

I recently got hold of a P5 standard size and I'm enjoying it a lot. Mine has a distinct three stage pull on single action though: first some take-up, then the increased resistance for raising the firing pin, then finally the actual sear resistance. Only takes a little dry fire practice with it to get used to however. I also discovered Doris at Nill U.S.A. Nice woman to do business with--I bought the stippled grips for mine too.--Leigh
