Our Assessment: The Walther P5 is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol developed in the mid-1970s with the German police forces in mind, who sought to replace existing 7.65mm pistols with a modern service sidearm incorporating enhanced safety features and chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. A subsequent bid resulted in the Walther P5 being introduced into service alongside the SIG-Sauer P225 (designated P6 within the West German Federal Police) and the Heckler & Koch P7. This is a small semi-auto that is great for concealed carry, giving you 9mm punch in a size not very much bigger than a Walther PPK, and in a modern design. It is in Excellent condition so Walther collectors will likely also be interested. Please see our photos and good luck!
