$0.00

The WALTHER P38, also known as the P.38, is a notable semi-automatic pistol developed by the Walther arms company in Germany and adopted by the Wehrmacht during World War II. This pistol became a primary sidearm for German forces due to its innovative design features, such as a short-recoil, locked-breech mechanism with a falling locking block, which enhanced reliability and user-friendliness. The P38 also introduced design advancements like a double-action trigger mechanism, a de-cocking lever, and a loaded chamber indicator, elements that influenced many post-war firearms. Built with a robust steel frame and typically chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge, the P38 balanced stopping power with manageable recoil. For comprehensive details about the P38’s variants, production history, and specific models, refer to the P.38 MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL PISTOLS section in the P section, which offers an in-depth look at its development and deployment history.
