Introduced in January 2019, it was a hit from the start. It was about perfect for action shooting competitions; fast, accurate, smooth and optics ready. Swimming in a sea of plastic, many in the industry shook their heads at a “heavy” pistol. Most were focused on lightweight polymer or alloy frames that were more art than function, and designed to be carried often and used only if necessary, it’s seemingly all about turning your pistol into Swiss cheese in a weight-saving effort. With an entire generation of shooters never actually using an all-steel pistol, the Walther seemed odd—at least until they shot it. Was it heavy by comparison, sure, but it was insanely accurate, and completely controllable. It’s 5-inch barrel made carry a tad inconvenient, as it was really a competition pistol, so the DAVE BAHDE BENBEN BATTLES BATTLES & &DAVE DAVE BAHDE BAHDE 7 ontargetmagazine.com ontargetmagazine.com 8 SPECIFICATIONS: WEIGHT: 40 OUNCES (UNLOADED) OVERALL LENGTH: 7.4 INCHES BARREL LENGTH: 4.00 INCHES FRAME: MACHINED STEEL SIGHTS: SERRATED FRONT, ADJUSTABLE REAR/OPTICS READY MAGAZINE CAPACITY: 15+1 RETAIL PRICE: $1,399.00 (STANDARD) $1,499.00 (OPTICS READY) is nothing new. So why a heavy gun? Well, it’s pretty simple: all-steel pistols are easier to shoot, generally due to less recoil and Walther muzzle rise, and for most they make accu- racy easier—that being my priority.

We save our proclamations of innovation for things that are truly innovative. Like John Garand’s M1 design or the new EMP ™ (see pages 22-23). Some people aspire to own the latest.

Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and United States v 22 Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939). Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR- 23 15 type rifle. Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional. 24 Plaintiffs challenge a net of interlocking statutes which impose strict criminal 25 restrictions on firearms that fall under California’s complex definition of the ignominious 26 “assault weapon.” Hearings on a preliminary injunction were consolidated with a trial on 27 the merits pursuant to F.R.C.P. Rule 65(a)(2). Having considered the evidence, the Court 28 1 19-cv-1537-BEN (JLB) Case 3:19-cv-01537-BEN-JLB Document 115 Filed 06/04/21 PageID.10516 Page 2 of 94 1 issues these findings of fact and conclusions of law,1 finds for the Plaintiffs, and enters 2 Judgment accordingly.
