Optional sights for IPSC shooters will follow. With an overall length of 8.1 inches (206 mm) and a barrel length of 5 inches (127 mm) it is fitted with an adjustable polymer rear sight for target- and competition shooting as for personal protection and also concealed carrying. Its design is based on the Technical Specifications for Pistols of the German Police.īuilding on the great heritage of the original PPQ, Walther introduces its new sport version of the PPQ M2. The WALTHER PPQ is a designated law enforcement pistol. The hammerless action in conjunction with up-to-date materials permits a very compact design and it considerably reduces the number of parts required when compared to hammer-fired pistols. The new position of the button will be welcomed both by IPSC shooters and law enforcement or personal protection users.Īll other technical features are remaining: The PPQ‘s striker fired trigger combines the advantages of a modern hammerless system, automatically operating safeties, and most modern materials.
The new button can be changed over to the right side, the slide stop lever is already ambidextrous. The M2 pistols can be recognized by its magazine release button at the left side, instead of the former lever, that was integrated in the trigger guard. From March 2014 (IWA fair) this M2 version is also available for all other foreign markets. Two return springs located on either side of the frame and below the slide, having been compressed by the slide's rearward movement, drive the slide forward, stripping a new round from the magazine, driving it into the breech and, in the process, re-engaging the barrel ending its return travel with a fresh round chambered, hammer cocked and ready to repeat the process.The M-series of the WALTHER PPQ was introduced at last year’s SHOT SHOW, but at first only for US-customers. The slide however continues its rearward movement on the frame, ejecting the spent case and cocking the hammer before reaching the end of travel. When the pistol is fired both the barrel and slide recoil for a short distance together, where the locking block drives down, disengaging the slide and arresting further rearward movement of the barrel. The fixed-barrel design mechanism operates by use of a wedge-shaped locking block underneath the breech. The Walther Maximathor utilizes Walther's proven engineering in a beautiful PCP airgun with all of the features you could ask for in a hunting air rifle. A pull of the trigger, with the hammer down, fired the first shot and the operation of the pistol ejected the fired round and reloaded a fresh round into the chamber, all features found in many modern day handguns.
The shooter could load a round into the chamber, use the de-cocking lever to safely lower the hammer without firing the round, and carry the weapon loaded with the hammer down. The P38 was the first locked-breech pistol to use a double-action trigger (the earlier double-action PPK was an unlocked blowback design, but the more powerful 9x19mm Parabellum round used in the P38 mandated a locked breech design). The P38 uses a double action trigger design similar to that of the earlier Walther PPKs, and a loaded chamber indicator is also incorporated.
It was intended to replace the costly Luger P08, the production of which was scheduled to end in 1942. The Walther P38 is a 9x19mm Parabellum pistol that was developed as the service pistol of the Wehrmacht at the beginning of World War II.
