I've never done a review before but after today, I'm inspired.

I've never owned a Walther before so for less than 3 bills I thought, why the hell not. After bringing it home, I looked it over real good. My first impression is that it is a very well made pistol. The fit and finish is first rate and I can't find a tool mark or imperfection anywhere. The gun comes with two 16 round mags and a decent plastic box. This was a pleasant surprise to me. Most less expensive guns nowadays come in cardboard boxes and with one mag.
This Gun is big, bulky, and heavy. The slide is stupid thick but the bevel helps with that and gives the impression that the gun is slimmer than it is. This gun is perfect for the nightstand, or a truck, or for someone who doesn't give a damn about concealment. The grip is very comfortable and is the first gun I've ever owned that the finger grooves don't bother me. They are very small, almost non-existent, so this is probably why. The stippling looks nice and is very grippy.
The trigger is also first rate. I loved it almost instantly. The stuff I've read says that it is a 6.5lbs pull but is feels much lighter to me. When I loaded the first mag up, I got to my first complaint. When the mag is loaded, they rattle pretty significantly. When you put the mag into the gun and move the gun around some, it sounds like a peanut rattling in a can. No big deal, I guess, and functioning wasn't affected at all, it just bothers me some. Imma picky bastard, though.
I shot 150 rounds through it today. Function was 100% and accuracy is very good. The gun handles well and recoil is not much different, if any, than any other 9mm. Even though the bore is pretty high. Another significant complaint came up when shooting. The brass was hitting me on the top of my head, my face, and my chest. After I ran a couple of mags, I looked it up and saw where others had the same issue. I read that it improves after some shooting and someone else said that you had to have a firmer grip. I don't know, but my son didn't have the same problem and by the time I shot my last mag, the hulls had stopped hitting me.
Overall, I am very impressed. It is a well made, if not over engineered, piece of German craftsmanship. And the price cannot be beat. If they slimmed this gun down, and kept everything else the same, I think that Glock, HK, Sig Sauer, and S&W would be in serious trouble.
For you fellas that didn't read a word of this and just skipped to the porn, the target was shot from 15 yards. It's 15 rounds and it was the very first mag that I shot through the gun. Not bad, but I was aiming for her forehead.
