I just brought my P88 C home from Scheels after a long, long, time in lay-by. The store will let you switch your lay-by anytime for anything- and it's easy to get carried away when you see another gun you get excited about- and I was often tempted.
But I just couldn't let this pistol go. I've wanted a Walther P88 since the 1st day I knew they even existed. This pistol is the Compact version- and I really feel now, that I like this one a little better than it's big brother. It is used, but hard to even tell that it's ever been fired. I'm glad it is not NIB- otherwise I probably would not want to fire it myself. So now I cannot wait to shoot this pistol. I can't say, how thrilled I am to have this pistol. I also have a beautiful Walther P5, that I purchased 3 years ago- it shoots great and always goes wherever I go.
I thought there was some information on the year of mfg. code somewhere on this Forum- but am unable to find it.
The "letters" on my P88 C appear to be KG.
The "letters" on my P5 are------------ KC.
Can anyone tell me the years?
My P5 has an Interarms import stamp- the P88 C has no import stamp.
I've been pretty much preoccupied with these earlier Walthers that I didn't pay any attention to the P99's. But that has been changing and I would now love to have one- maybe in a .40. (And someday, get the P88 too.)
