There seems to be a great deal of emphasis placed on cost.  Don't you
think that the operating costs (ammo, targets, etc.) far outweighs
the cost of the pistol?  Usually, one goes through several thousand
rounds to become proficient with the pistol.  Therefore, I personally
tend to disregard the price, and make selections based purely on
performance.

Also, while the walther is machined with exceptional tolerances, it
may be susceptible to failure in unclean environments.

If you look around, you can get a P88 for as low as $700.  I got
mine for $750, which brings if closer to the Sig asking price.
