New Walther P1...

Post by PhilR. »

Hello all,

Back in 1980 I shot a P-38, and to this day I remember how it fit the hand and how well it shot. I've always wanted one of my own, and now that I inadvertently started to collect German P models, I finally decided to get a P1 from Dan's Ammo. Picked it up yesterday, and took it to the range today. 200 rounds of WWB and Blazer, without a single failure of any type. I really like the way this pistol sits in the hand - very "pointable" I guess. I can already tell that it, along with my P5c and P7, will be my favorite range guns. I hope to do a range report in the coming weeks.

Below is a pic of what came with the pistol. The pistol itself has a number of faint handling marks on the sides of the slide that don't really stand out until the room light is reflected off the sides. Inside, it looks perfect, and I have a feeling that it has not been used. Only stored for a long period of time. The bore is perfect.

It's sitting in my lap with a snap cap in it as I type this.... :grin:
