WALTHER PP ZELLA MEHLIS MANUAL
The trigger is double-action, with an exposed hammer and a frame-mounted manual safety/decocker. A few aluminum-framed PP pistols were built in Germany before the war, and stainless steel versions are manufactured in the USA under Walther’s license since the mid-1980s. The Walther PP is blowback-operated pistol with a fixed barrel, usually of all-steel construction. Walther PP, PPK, and PPK/S pistols are now manufactured in the USA by the Smith & Wesson Company under license from Walther. Very close copies of the Walther PP were manufactured after the war by East Germany, Hungary, Romania, Turkey and USA. Later on, production was returned to the re-established Walther factory in the city of Ulm ab Donau (pre-war Walther factory was located in the city of Zella-Mehlis), and these pistols have seen widespread use by civilians and police, as well as for personal defense by many non-infantry officers in several European armies. After the war, production of the PP and PPK pistols was resumed in France by Manurhin under German license. Produced between 19 in significant numbers, these pistols, along with the smaller PPK, were widely used as police and military guns in Hitler’s Germany. Walther PP pistols were among the most important developments of the inter-war period. The Walther PPK is a smaller version of the PP (Polizeipistole) and has a shorter grip and barrel as well as a lower magazine capacity. Sometimes, the acronym Polizeipistole Kurz (Police Pistol Short) is given, but this interpretation is incorrect. PPK is a German acronym meaning Polizeipistole Kriminellmodell (Police Pistol Detective Model). The most famous gun of the Walther PP series is the Walther PPK.
