Guys,
There is a possibilty that I may have to use a Walther P5 in an inter-departmental European pistol shooting competition.
Needless to say the competition is not being held in Britain and I have yet to be selected as one of the 3 shooters representing the British team, but I received the competition details today via e-mail and noted that the issued weapon will be the Walther P5 in 9mm. We will shoot it in 3 disciplines :
1. 10m and 25m bullseye and silhouette
2. Combat range shooting (whatever that is)
3. Computer simulated shooting using the FATS (Firearms
Training simulator)
I have researched the P5 in the various web sites devoted to Walther pistols, and it seems to be a nice compact sized weapon that is reported to have good accuracy. Question is, does anyone here own one or have you had the use of one. If so, any experiences or opinions on the weapon would be appreciated as I'm curious now, even if I don't end up getting selected.
Regards,
Mike H
