About the Gun

While developed in 1929, the post Second World War production ban resulted in Walther issuing a manufacturing license for the PP to the French company Manurhin in 1949. US imports of the PP began in 1963 which were French made until 1986, when Walther resumed its own manufacturing. The PP (which stands for Polizei Pistole) is a compact double-action (DA/SA)hammer-fired semi-automatic pistol that has been used by police forces throughout the world.

About the Cartridge

Initially introduced in Europe, this semi-rimmed centerfire cartridge came to the United States when Colt introduced its 'Pocket Model' semiautomatic pistol. Like the .25 ACP, the .32 ACP is considered by many as too weak to be an effective self-defense round. But it has been an extremely popular caliber, notably by the fact that practically all minor and major manufacturers of autoloading handguns in the world have built millions of small pocket autoloaders in .32 Auto.
