Walther has said there won't be an "M1" version of the 5 inch, but who knows?
....good to know Hmac. I wonder what the percentage numbers are here in the U.S. of M1 vs. M2 buyers. I hear of more people wanting the M1, but perhaps because they (we) are (were) more vocal in wanting a return of that version?
