Overview

The Walther P88 is a semi-automatic pistol designed by Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen of Germany. It was introduced in 1988 as a modern double-action 9mm service pistol to compete in the military and law enforcement market. The P88 featured a double-stack magazine, ambidextrous controls, and a Browning-style tilting barrel lockup. Despite being a well-regarded design, it failed to secure major military contracts. It was succeeded by the Walther P99 in the mid-1990s.
