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

Designed by John Browning and introduced by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, this cartridge has achieved world-wide acceptance and has even been adopted as the standard pistol cartridge by several governments. One reason for the round's success is that it is the largest practical cartridge that can be easily adapted to small automatic pocket pistols. Ballistics fall far short of even the 9mm Luger, but still prove adequate for most self-defense situations. The round has established quite a niche position in this role, often being chosen over more traditional small calibers such as the .25 and .32 Autos.
