Overview

The Walther PP (Polizeipistole or Police Pistol) is a blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol introduced in 1929 by Carl Walther GmbH. It was the first successful double-action semi-automatic pistol design, allowing safe carry with a chambered round and a hammer-down position. Chambered in .32 ACP (7.65mm Browning), .380 ACP, and .22 LR, the PP features an 8-round magazine capacity. Its compact size and reliable operation made it a popular police and civilian firearm throughout the 20th century. The PP served as the basis for the more famous PPK model, which is essentially a shortened version of the PP.
