# [First let me put on my flame proof underwear...] # # 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. :-) # # Chris # Look Ma, no Flames! 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, --- John Ringloff Email: cvakg001@vmsa.is.csupomona.edu
