# The P88 is available for under $900 (I saw $840 I think) - far less than the

Well, the cost of a Walther is not much of an issue, for I can get an 88 NIB
for around $550 so, the most expensive item on the list is the Hk P7M13 at
about $950. Additionally, I mostly shoot at paper, so the issues of unclean
endurance and carrability, aren't very critical. I clean Religiously. Accuracy 
is. Quality is. I think I am going to get a walther, and maybe later, when
money allows, a glock 20. Perhaps a Hk, now that I have seen/fondeled/striped
/viewed the P7 in action. It is really slick. I would still like to gather as
much info on the walther, glock, and Hks as I can possibly get. 

thanks,
