Walther PP Blank Firing Pistol Cal. 9mm P.A.K.

Walther PP blank-firing pistol 9mm P.A.K. The Walther PP (Polizei-Pistole) was brought to market in 1929 in caliber 7.65 mm Browning. It was the first handgun with a fully functional and high-quality double action trigger. It was immediately used by German police authorities as well as an officer’s weapon in the military. Engraved versions were also popular diplomatic gifts. In 1932, the even more compact PPK (Polizei-Pistole-Kriminal) was developed, which was used accordingly to its name. After World War II, Walther developed additional sport versions with extended barrels in caliber .22lfB. Only in 1972 (Bavaria 1982) were the PP and PPK phased out by the police due to the acquisition of weapons in the stronger caliber 9mm Para. Nevertheless, the Walther PP with all its variants was a complete success. Prices for functional models are rising. Today, a factory-engraved version in good condition costs more than a brand-new polymer service pistol. The license for the production of the gas pistol was granted to the company Umarex. As with the original, a double action trigger is used. The steel sheet magazine holds 7 cartridges in caliber 9mm P.A.K. A manual safety is also present. Our assessment: Even if you know Umarex’s attention to detail, you are positively surprised with every new weapon. The implementation of the Walther PP is once again perfectly done. As simple as the packaging made of black plastic is, the pistol convinces all the more inside. Of course, we don’t want to hide the included accessories. As usual, a manual, a blank firing adapter, and a barrel cleaning brush are included. The actual signal pistol is very cleanly manufactured and the bluing shows no damage. Collectors will appreciate the authentic Walther markings. The weight also corresponds almost exactly to the original due to the all-metal construction. Once in hand, you are impressed by the handling of the small Walther. A large part of this is due to the shaped magazine base. Cocking the blank-firing pistol also works well. In the actual shooting test, we could not detect any malfunctions or misfires with any of the ammunition types we tested. There is also a video on the internet of a stress test with 1000 shots in a very short time. Although it shows a brief jamming of the bolt towards the end of the test, the weapon was still fully functional. We consider the Walther PP gas/signal pistol a successful implementation of the original and a genuine recommendation for collectors and interested users.
