-
- Are you speaking of the Walther 88? If, so, have you shot one?
-
- I am considering the purchase of a hi-cap 9mm. My preference is to the walther
- for it's well claimed accuracy, but due to the cost, even at the price I can
- get one for is an issue. I am also considering the SIG 226 and the glock 17,
- and maybe even a HK P7 for I pefer ambidextrous. The local gunshops and ranges
- have little info on the Walther other than it's accuracy. If some of the 9mm
- guru's could shed a little light on the Walther, it could be helpful. What I'm
- looking for, is the usual- accuracy, longevity, cleaning, feeding, availibility
- and cost of parts, and overall performance.
-
- Has any body out there shot one?
- Are there any ranges in the Greater Los Angeles area where I could rent one?
- Does anybody know if Walther makes or is planning to make a 10mm?
