The Walther was the P38, post war civilian production called it the P1. One of the first of what Jeff Cooper called “crunchen-tickers” due to the DA/SA triggers.

The best feature of the Walthers and the Radom are they had a decocker. I would bet there are more accidents caused by a hammer slipping when lowering it on a 1911, than any other type.

When I was 18 in 1965 I let that happen to me. Fortunately I had the pistol pointed at the ground. Either the slide or more likely the hammer cut my thumb. I still have a small scar to remind me.

In a way, I am glad it happened. I have never had another NG and doubt I ever will.
