Hello all,
In 2003, I logged in this forum and posted for a while. At the time I was looking for another Walther P5 Compact - a extremly rare weapon here in Switzerland. I had one before that I stupidly sold for a fortune, indeed. Missed it dramatically at the very first second.
One of my last posts in august 2003 was about a P5 C that I located in Austria. I went through all the paper headache to discover, just before it was sent, that the handler had confused the P5 and P5 C. A very common mistake that I see every day in my quest. People seem to consider the P5 to be compact enough to deserve the title.
Disappointed as I was at the time, I stopped to post about. Tried to forget, drank and bought a Glock 26 - nice gun, fast and accurate. But, at every shooting session, I feel life is to short to shoot Glocks. At the bench, no pleasure to clean it - polymer and tenifer don't rust, do they? Can't stand that blocky slide (better go with a SIG P225), the hooked trigger guard, the plastic sights, the trident trigger... And that Safe Action that is no match to master!
So the quest goes on. I will tell you about progresses and failures. And shoot my trusty P38 along the Glock.

Never sell a Walther!
