“Tag: PP”

This past month two noteworthy pistols, one owned by President Theodore Roosevelt and another used in the James Bond film "Dr. No" staring the late Sean Connery, sold at auction.

In this American Rifleman TV segment of "I Have This Old Gun," we take a look at the Walther-based Hungarian FEG APK handgun imported by Interarms.

In 1929, Walther succeeded in producing a workable single-/double-action (DA/SA) fire-control mechanism, bringing out the Model PP (Polizeipistole or police pistol).

When one thinks of ground-breaking double-action pocket pistols, those that probably come to mind are examples from the superb Walther PP series.

While Walther’s P38 may have lacked the “fineness” and graceful lines of its predecessor the P08, nor the legendary thump of the .45-caliber 1911, it marks the starting point of the modern day service pistol.

American Rifleman's Mark Keefe has a very unique Walther PP 22 LR, and he invites us to the range to check it out.

Watch the above “I Have This Old Gun” segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV to learn the complete history of the Walther PPK/S.

When it comes to getting inside Walther PP-series pistols, Michael J. Parker, a former Interarms vice president, has learned a thing or four. If you want to detail strip your Walther, read this first.

Very simply put, the Walther PP is one of the most influential handguns ever and, together with its variants, tops the pocket pistol popularity list.
