The final evolution of the P38 "dropping lock block" design would be the P5.
The complexity of the design priced it well above many "similar" handguns (capacity, barrel length....), MSRP of almost $1000 three decades ago left many unsold.
If Walther were to produce a double-stack/all metal/NO molded or cast parts P5 today, I would expect an MSRP over $2000. They wouldn't sell.
A re-released P5, long barrel, double-stack, 10mm or 357Sig Hunter would be awesome.
I may be the most rabid P5 fan on this forum at the moment.......
