Each specific model of autoloader has its appeal.
Indeed, a Walther P5 is not flatter than a revolver (its slide out-chunks a Glock!), only holds one more round than a new Smith and Wesson 627, is about the same weight as a 327, and few rounds are available to the public that are hotter than a .357 Magnum hollowpoint.
But you hold a Walther P5, and it feels like love.
