FWIW:
I had read such good "stuff" about the Walther P5 (not necessarily the Compact version) that I had to have one.
So, I found one on GunBroker and paid the price and brought the sucker home only to find out that FOR ME it was simply too "wide" or "bulky" for any appreciable cc use..
I already had a pristine P1 and it was very nice, just LARGE in comparison to some other 9's I had, and to my uneducated eyes putting the P1 and P5 side by side they pretty much appear to be siblings..
Perhaps the compact version is a bit shorter, but it has to just as wide, right?
I love Walthers (had a PP, P1, P5, P99c,P99, PPS) but for me the size of the frames of the P1 and P5 preclude them being more than just casual plinkers..
But, great plinkers, no doubt.
No offense intended to Trailblazer or other P5 fans, just making conversation.
