Walther P5 West German Cop Gun

[@windmill2252]

This was the standard weapon for the Dutch police and other law enforcement from the 80-ies untill 2013. In that time several alterations took place, such as: altered magazine release, because magazines fell or partly came out in patrol cars due to pressure from the back rests. An additional spring was added to keep the firing pin in the down position to avoid a round going of if the pistol fell. The grips were replaced bij rubber grips made bij Hogue. Aan most important : Due tot the switch from 9 mm para tot Action 3 munition, the slope to guide the munition into the barrel/firing chamber was altered. The new munition also wore out the gun faster then the old munition did. Barrels started to crack after e certain amout of rounds fired. From 2013 is was succeded bij the Walther P99Q NL

Thanks for all the great info. And thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Wish I could have helped onto this gun!

Nice bit of history. Kudos to the dude who's letting you show these. That P5 with the wood grips is 🔥

[@theBucketshallnotbeinfringed]

Yeah my buddy was so cool to let me borrow his P5. When it is next to my p6 and p7 they look like a family that have meant to be together.

Nice, man! The P5 is one of my most favorite pistols of all time. I shoot it sooo well. It's just a natural fit for my hands and my style of shooting. I also have a BMI P5 and it has been 100% reliable... and insanely accurate. I wish they weren't so damn expensive. I'd get another one and shoot the piss out of it. Thanks for validating the excellence of the P5!

[@theBucketshallnotbeinfringed]

Thank you. It is a great gun. Keep an eye out I have the p6 and p7 videos dropping shortly, and then the range review. Thanks for supporting the channel

Very Cool

[@theBucketshallnotbeinfringed]

This was always a gun I wanted to run!

[@jeffturnbull9661]

Purchased one of these several years ago, about the same time, roughly, that I bought the P7 H&K, really need to get them out shooting again, insanely good shooters

[@theBucketshallnotbeinfringed]

I love all 3 of these guns! Here is a link to my shooting impressions on all 3 together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gquxi3ioetpqgbs Thanks for supporting the channel

If you swap the P5 mag release for that of a P1, you can then use P1 mags in your P5. Caveat: The P5 mags won't work with the P1 mag release.

[@theBucketshallnotbeinfringed]

Cool info. Thanks for sharing, and supporting the channel.

[@jimhovater8755]

You're welcome. BTW: that will also work with the HK P9S.

[@22jeepmojave75]

bring back the p5!

[@theBucketshallnotbeinfringed]

Agreed. Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@bigbossman3806]

Nice little pistol but also a little pricey I think..but then I like bargains.

[@theBucketshallnotbeinfringed]

Yeah for sure. The price is so high for what they are. Stay tuned for the p6, p7 videos followed by the range review for all 3.

I should've bought a P1 a few years ago , saw a rough one this year they wanted $655. Friend of mine has a P6 and 7 , and a very nice p1 . Looking forward to range time

[@theBucketshallnotbeinfringed]

@@JG-xt9io I have a small Sig p210 from Switzerland. I wanted the Swiss cross so I call that my p2. Lol
