And perhaps, a couple trophy wives.

NO, he didn't say THAT. He said three P5s.

Thanks, MGMike. Lord only knows that one trophy wife would be enough. Just ask Tom Brady.

While I'm trying to figure out how to get the photos off my cell phone and upload them to this thread, I thought I'd offer some visual differences I noticed between the two guns. My P5 has a glossy finish frame with a matte slide. His entire frame has a matte finish the same as my slide. Because of that the appearance of the weapon seems more refined and homogenous and the machine marks are not as pronounced. His hammer has a triangle stamped on the left side and mine does not. I already mentioned the different mag release catch on the lower grip. His has a later SN than mine. I suppose this begs the question, were there major, minor changes made to the P5 throughout the production run? If so, what were they? When did they happen. Anyone care to inform us.

Let's start with a photo or three. This should help:

That will have to wait a bit until I can take some real photos with a good camera other than a cell phone one. He and I both have very good cameras so when we get together I will make it a point to document the differences between the two.

Searcher, My friend and I are both professional freelance photographers. I mainly do video work while he does stills and he's also a soundman. We were going to get together this afternoon to have a little photo shoot but he was feeling under the weather so he had to beg off. We"ll try again tomorrow or possibly over the weekend as I have a job on friday. Also my wife had back surgery last weekend so I have to keep close by to attend to those needs.
