Like many expensive things, the quality of the Walther may be overrated. I
saw a post here a while back to that effect and a gun mag review of the new
P88 Compact that was disappointing.  The P7 on the other hand is _very_
accurate.  I think the high capacity version P7M13 is just too fat.
The P88 is available for under $900 (I saw $840 I think) - far less than the
$1500 list price.  I suspect that if you spent the difference between the
Walter and a less expensive pistol on ammo you'd have a more "accurate"
gun/man system.

Hey, remember that "kinder gentler newsgroup stuff OK. :-)
