Unless the Walther is a CCP - then it hugs you back and burns the crap out of your hand after 100 rounds as a result of it's venting hot gas onto the frame. Danged if it isn't accurate as heck and soft shooting though - I'll give it that.for ccw I recommend a striker fired pistol with no manual safety. Walther, Glock, S&W, Sig, S.A. and CZ are all good contenders. My favorites being the Glock and Walther. 9mm is always a great choice but .45Auto isn't bad. Stick to those brands, stop reading articles and go finger **** some toys. If it's not comfortable you won't carry it. I'll leave you with a quote from my buddy Karl, "Walther... the gun thats hugs you back!"
