Widener's $265 Walther P1...Here already?!?

[reverendbeer]

Short answer, Yes. Ordered on Saturday. Here today via BBT.

'snice. A bit of wear on the frame and slide, and some "meh, whatever" scratches on the grips, but...all in all, Bro-Tier service from Widener's. Came with two mags--one P1 mag and one P38 mag, so...bonus..

Behold!

It's matching, and appears to be a German Army, Walther factory rebuild based on this criteria...It's got a later-stamped W-frame number indicating it was a Walther rebuild, and no BMI stamp. What that means in the broad scale of things?

I like the extra P38 mag, tho.

 

[yellowsled]

That's real nice for that price. Well done.

 

[NateIU10]

Looks great. Hope the one I ordered on the 11th is just as nice, and comes with a spare mag!

 

[Docster]

Excellent acquisition for the price!

No froshen' kidding! I find I now have 3 CZ82's. Why? I'm not sure. I feel bad because I missed out on the Toks. I have a round receiver Mosin coming. Why? I don't know because Mosin's are like Lays potato chips, you have just one. I have a P1 and I can hit anything with it! So maybe I need another one to see if it's me or the P1.

Yeah, I had 2 mosins, till someone posted that damn $100 one from wideners so now I'll have 3...

Had 2 SKSs till Classic emailed about their sino soviets, now I have 4....,

then someone posted the CZ82s from AIM and I dont have one, so I ordered that,

then this P1, yeah was thinking about one.....and now I ordered one, why, cuz I missed the $125 Tok....

The first step is admitting you have a problem, so good for you. I'm glad I don't have a problem.

well Im not positive I have a problem, im just worried that other people will think I have a problem....like when I comb their sofa for lost change to fund ammo purchases n such.....

I got the very last one..... from Wideners who has always outperformed all others.

No; here we have 'Firearms Enabling, Anonymously'......

Marko,
Is that from Wideners? I thought they said they did not have Hex pins?

They're still showing as in stock...was that from a previous batch?

 

[SmokingGun]

This thread may just be the thing that finally inspires me to get my C&R license......

 

[NateIU10]

Just got mine in. I went long serrations (thick slide) and couldn't be happier.

Yes, I got it from Wideners, there were two models, one was a "short" version and a "long" version. I got the last of the long versions.

That's what I thought, no hex, but when I got it the hex was there. Stronger with the hex I'm told.

You lucked out! I'm still very happy with my no pin long serrations, but you got the bell of the ball!

I love mine. Mine is also a 1976 build.

In SA its a brilliant range gun. In DA, eh, I guess I'll give it a pass considering it was a pioneering design from an era when DA operation was brand new. Trigger pull in DA is pretty terrible compared to new DA/SA guns.

I shot some hot 124 gr 9mm NATO (white and black Winchester box) out of it. The trigger bar got a running lateral crack afterwards. I ordered a replacement part on gunbroker (there is a lot of p38/p1 stuff on there) and its now good as new. Definitely a shooter, but it doesn't like hot ammo. I'm sticking with 115 gr reloads from now on.
