The PP was adopted by many police agencies in Europe, and would go on to be an officer sidearm in many nations. While the PP is not a large gun, it offers plenty of space to get both hands on it. With the magazine release on the side of the frame, and a slide mounted safety, grip and ease of use was made better. The handgun was much more ergonomic than prior Walther designs too. The simple design meant easier production, and easier maintenance for the end user. It is an all steel construction, aside from the plastic grips. The PP is a double action/single action(DA/SA) hammer fired gun, and operates using a fixed barrel blowback design. The Walther Police Pistol (PP) would release in 1929, and become Walther's best selling design. Some handguns, such as the Model 4, did well, but were far from a mature design.
Handgun production began just before World War 1 broke out, but the Walther designs were crude, and often unreliable. Production in the late 19th century was exclusively hunting guns, however that would change by 1908. What's the history of the venerable PP, and how does it shoot in the modern era? The History of the Walther PPĬarl Walther GmBH formed as a company in 1886. I also believe the Walther PP to be one of the best guns chambered in the caliber. It's a light recoiling, fun cartridge with a cool history.
