Walther P5 9mm
The P5 was one of three pistols adopted by West German police agencies in the late 1970s following the 1972 Munich Olympics security failures, alongside the HK P7 and SIG P6. The P5 uses a double-action rotary locking block mechanism, making it one of the most mechanically complex German service pistols. It was adopted by the Royal Dutch Marechaussee and other European agencies.
