Truly from a bygone era.

Back when handguns were built with serious pride. Lots of history surround the Walther .22 PP Series.

This is a West German (when there was an actual West Germany and an East Germany) built Walther PP in .22 LR.

For those that know some history, a number of nations used these pistols in clandestine work, to include Britain, Germany, Israel, and others. Much of it of course was "off the books" but if you are a student of history, you will find reference to these being used.

Some Walther PP.22s were also used in Northern Ireland as an issued weapon by the occupying Brits as PDWs.

The attention to detail on these is impressive:

I am only selling it as I have a project I am working on, otherwise I would not. Obviously, these have been out of production for a very long time and I expect they are going to end up like S&W revolvers. I recall when I thought paying $500 for a 29-2 .44 magnum was outrageous. now I would take every one I could find at that price. I expect guns like these West German Walthers will be the same before too long. Plus there is no capital gains tax... laugh

Super cool! I also remember reading they filled the whole in the hammer with ( I forget what kind) a heavy metal to improve hammer strikes.

A lot of history there!

Yep, There is a lot of history wrapped up in these little pocket guns.

Few people have something this cool in their collections, that is for sure.

As far as I know it takes regular high velocity stuff.

I read something a while back about Walthers liking CCI Mini Mags.

Great price. Absolutely love the pistol. Am looking for a 380 PP. I paid 1075 for mine a few years ago. FYI, as far as I know, only Walther magazines will work. There are two little extrusions on the Walther nags that keep the cartridge centered. Others do not have these. FTF.

I have always just been impressed by the attention to detail on these old guns. Kind of like really old Smith revolvers.

There is absolutely no way you could build one today for the same money.

Awesome Spy Gun! : )


I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.
