The variations themselves seem relatively minor. Is there anything really significant in terms of usability or reliability? I am shopping for a P5 and wondered whether I should favor a later variation (I have my eye on a Variation 2 that looks pretty sweet). Thanks!
 
There are, IMO, no highly-desirable or to-be-avoided variants. The P5 is damned near perfect from start to finish. But be careful, they are highly addictive ;)

I think I got a Dutch Police P5 # 050047 D.

That is the 48th mis-identified P5, started at ser#50000, don't think anyone actually know how many were produced before they corrected the issue.


Issue being Dutch police P5 were ser#s 50000 to 100000 firearm.


D for doppel (double in German).


Still searching for a DD, IDed on frame AND slide.
 
I see the thread is still open .My earlier post did not put in survey info as mine is a Vollzugsanstalt Mannheim ex German police pistol ,with armorers update log. It was put in service 30.4.80 and released 26.6.00.

Nice, very Nice!!

Looking forward to learn more about the details of the guns. Those 7.65 barrels are a pain in the **s to find!

Here's the three "safe queens", The middle one is the Italian Cat 1062 two barrel (7.65 Para/9mmx19 Para). The shooter is on it's way to Texas (from Vermont).
 
I'll post pics of the group, with details after I get them all in my possession.


Just took delivery of #4 on Monday (a 2nd Var8). Just purchased #5 two hrs ago, a very late production Var8, +95%, unfired after test firing at Ulm, NIB, with all items provided from Walther.


Have my eye's on #6, will know where I stand by next weekend.


Seems like a trend, really nice P5s are moving to Texas.
 
Here is mine if I am wrong or missing anything please tell me and give me some info thank you!!
