That may be (the decision has been made), however I did a search in Google and found this forum. This thread has been very informative as I am currently making the same decision (though, I already have a Mk III hunter with a panoramic sight). I truly appreciate the level of information I've found here. Seems like there is a lot of experience in here to learn from.
In an attempt to stay relevant, I have experience only with the Walther. My brother-on-law bought my sister a P22 a few years back and I've had the opportunity to fire a few magazines worth through it. I thought it was a pretty smooth firing pistol. I haven't "lived" with one, as it were, but in my limited experience I found it to be pretty solid with a good "tactical" feel to it.
Anyway, this thread has given me a lot to consider. Thanks all!
(first time here, first time posting, and realizing that I may be turning myself into a pariah from the get-go for resurrecting what is probably a dead-thread)
