Gman... you're shoving in a lot of opinions with out taking into account the differences between those personal opinion of yours and factual information.
Be a bit more careful when you're claiming what is reliable and what isnt. Bubba or the "ex Navy SEAL" are mostly full of watermelon and blow nothing but smoke.
Walther is among the most reputable, reliable, and respected firearms companies in the world.
Uh..how so? My opinions ARE factual information, based on what I've seen on a daily and yearly basis with said pistols at MY places of employment, not what some moron wannabe has cracked off about or what I've read in some retarded magazine article by Massad Aboob or whoever.
www.theshootingedge.comSix years of work at this range, 6 days a week, prior to going to work for a pivate military company. There is at least 100 shooters per day going through this facility, as shooting/owning a handgun in Canada isn't a right like it is in the USA, and the range is extremely busy in comparison to american places. Just from new rental shooters I've seen 5000+ rounds per day go downrage from every type of combat pistol you've every heard of. We are the largest importer of Winchester pistol ammo in the country, and the ONLY ammo going through our rental guns in 9, 40, and 45 is white box winchester, so the failures can't be blamed on overpressurized reloads. Some pistols on the rental rack get 1000+ put through them in a single day. For ANY polymer framed/steel slide pistol to be on the rack for 2 months in a row without a major failure is almost unheard of. Also, being a major repair center for the Beretta's in country, every 92F in the 2000's that had a slide crack failure, or more commenly the locking lugs shear off (at least 100+ pistols), including every 92F rental gun, I'm not terribly fond of them either, even being a non polymer pistol.
I respect and agree with what you've said Loon, and take you at your word, why not take me at mine? You've stated your experience before with pistol shooting, all I've done is the same.
I can gladly show you the RMA's to various manufacturers if you doubt my claims. As I did state, I'm hestitant to offer opinion on reliability because it always turns into this. As for Walther, why don't you do some research yourself. As I said, EVERY single range pistol we have fails at some point, and EVERY walther in 9mm has failed, in almost every case the extractor/ejector assembly which is a square little unit, and this is prior to the 1000 round mark in every case. Montreal City is the only Police or unit I know of that has these pistols in quantity. They'll be switching soon, go ahead and look up some stats or call their range master and see what he says if you don't take me at my word. Maybe you are talking about Walther rifles, as their pistols are complete garbage, and nearly everyone I know that has anything to do with shooting agrees. In fact, Monreal's order is the largest Walther has ever had for their P99 in North America. One city, and it's in Quebec. I think that speaks for itself.
AND, as I stated, it's the user, not the pistol that realy matters. I have nothing against any of the pistols I've talked about, and even the worst pistol in the world is better than the next best option.
As for Karaya's comments, I believe calling somebody names is cause for a suspension, is it not? I'll gladly throw down my credentials if you require it. The movie Shadow Company is currently playing often on various TV networks. A large portion of it is of my company doing CQB training for PSD employees of ours. I'm the big bald instructor. I'm a Range Master, Pistol instructor (Sigarms Academy), Rifle Instructor (Diemaco/Colt Canada), plus have trained a large number of people in the private security field during the last 6 years, in addition to working on a range instructing others for nearly my entire adult life.
Last thing I heard from you, you carry your HK pistol cocked and locked in your holster, so be careful who you call names when you live in a glass house.
Regards,
Gman
