Default A Fish Called Wanda

Watched this movie last night. Politically incorrect and very funny. Ken Kline's character was very quirky (to say the least) and so was his choice of firearm--a Walther P5. I own very few semi-auto pistols as compared to revolvers, but this model really intrigues me. Left side ejection port. Pivoting firing pin (safety). Dual recoil springs (not unique to this gun). Combination slide release/decocker. The quality is amazing, and it's a great shooter. Certainly not a target pistol, but very accurate for what it is. Range shooters on my left are perplexed when brass comes at them from their right. This pistol was used in a couple of Bond films, but I didn't expect to see it in this one.

Interesting! I watched this movie recently and wondered about the pistol..I figured it for some odd modified prop gun but lo and behold..it exists as the P5. Cool! British humour is an acquired taste..

What I find interesting about the movie, (aside from Jamie Lee Curtis, "Rowrrr!) is that Kevin Kline drove a huge Lincoln Continental around London, as the ultimate "Ugly American". Great movie!
