I bought a used Walther P-5 today on the recommendation of a friend,
and after trying his gun.  Proportedly, this gun has a retail of 
approximately $1,100!  I paid less than half.  Is this depreciation normal?
The gun is close to mint condition.  Has anyone used this weapon, or has had 
knowledge of how it depreciates (is this normal?).  As a second consideration,
a laser sight may be nice to have.  Is there a mounting that would accomodate
a Walther P-5?  Or perhaps a better question, would this be a worthy 
investment (toy) for occasional target practice (indoor) and plinking?

Thanks...any input will be appreciated.  Again, if the questions appear
"dumb", this is somewhat outside my area of knowledge.

Bret
