- Like many expensive things, the quality of the Walther may be overrated. I
- saw a post here a while back to that effect and a gun mag review of the new
- P88 Compact that was disappointing. The P7 on the other hand is _very_
- accurate. I think the high capacity version P7M13 is just too fat.
- The P88 is available for under $900 (I saw $840 I think) - far less than the
- $1500 list price. I suspect that if you spent the difference between the
- Walter and a less expensive pistol on ammo you'd have a more "accurate"
- gun/man system.

- Hey, remember that "kinder gentler newsgroup stuff OK. :-)
