The P38’s slide-mounted safety/decocker is gone in favor of a frame-mounted combination slide release & decocker. The barrel is shortened from 5” to 3.5”, and the slide is no longer open-topped. The P5 was a derivative of Walther’s WWII-era P38, but with significant changes. So, the weapons that made the list were the Walther P5, SIG P6 (P225) and H&K P7. The Cold War-inspired “urban terrorism” Western Europe was experiencing in the 1970’s seems to have convinced authorities over there that their LEO’s needed up gunning. Before this, German cops apparently mostly packed blowback pocket pistols. Apparently, the German version of federalism is that the state LE agencies pick their own service pistols, but from a list determined by the federal government.

With the help of remarkable German engineering, the Creed manages to chamber a 16-round mag in 1.3” wide & 5.6” high frame.

Although it is a bit recoil-sensitive to heavy high-pressure ammo, it’s got decent control even with rapid-firing. Not only did they give it an incredible trigger, user-friendly controls (including its slide), and an intuitive design, the Creed is also no slouch when it comes to accuracy. Designed as an economic defensive carry pistol, Walther’s newest innovation is hard to believe. My buddy supplied the Creed and I supplied the Remington HTP 115 grain JHP rounds.
