I had a West German P225 several years ago. Helped me fall in love with external hammer pistols. But I got rid of it after (this is weird) I had a couple dreams in which I had to use it, and it had no effect on the targets. Totally lost faith in the gun. I've never had that dream again with any other handgun I've owned, even when I've tried to (thought about the events of the dream as I was dozing off at night).
