Book Synopsis Walther P. 38 by : Stéphane Cailleau
Download or read book Walther P. 38 written by Stéphane Cailleau and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2020-06-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopted by the German Wehrmacht at the end of 1939, more than 1.2 million P.38s were manufactured up to 1945. Designed by the Walther company from its civilian model PP, it was the first double-action military pistol. Its robustness and simplicity of manufacture made it a worthy successor to the legendary P.08 Luger in the Second World War. This illustrated book presents the design, manufacturing, and development of the various models, from initial acceptance by the German military in 1938 through their production and use from 1939 to 1945. Details include close-up views of markings and other details, as well as a visual breakdown of the weapon. Accessories such as magazines, ammunition, holsters, and cleaning kits are featured throughout the book, as are rarely seen combat-related uniform and equipment items.

Download or read book The Wartime P. 38 Pistols written by Dave Shike and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates a sampling of German 1945-produced P.38 pistols. The Allied Air Campaign and fighting on three fronts had drained Germany of its resources and production capacity. Nevertheless, last gasp efforts were made to continue producing P.38 pistols. These pistols were assembled by using recycled parts from damaged pistols, formerly rejected military parts, and assembling spare parts from armorers' repair kits. Efforts to use a low cost and faster method of finishing parts and entire P.38 pistols was also done. Some of the pistols illustrated in this book have generally not been seen before. For many reasons they are not typically included in standard firearms texts. The author has made an attempt to introduce these previously overlooked pistols Not every type of 1945 P.38 pistol is included in this book, however, noteworthy examples that may have been previously overlooked as historical or collectable are included. This late war attempt to provide P.38 pistols for the Wehrmacht and teh Volkssturm produced some very unusual pistols; a number of which are not traditionally recognized by the public or collectors. The SchutzSlaffel (SS) overseers that drove slave labor to assemble trhese pistols went to great extremes to hide their origin. The slave workers were often sent to extermination camps in the very last weeks of the war. The potential details of how, when, and where these pistols were assembled is also explored. More questions may be raised by this book than are answered. Collectors, history buffs, and historians will hopefully be inspired from this text to help solve these mysteries. Enjoy the unusual P.38 pistols on the pages within and remember all the answers are yet to be found!

Download or read book The Luger written by Neil Grant and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patented in 1898 and produced from 1900, Georg Luger's iconic semi-automatic pistol became synonymous with Germany's armed forces throughout both world wars. Initially chambered for the 7.65×21mm round, from 1902 the Luger was designed for DWM's 9×19mm round, which even today remains the most popular military handgun cartridge. It was adopted by the Imperial German Navy in 1904, followed by the German Army in 1908, receiving the name Pistole 08. Despite being supplanted by the Walther P38, the Luger remained in widespread service with all arms of Nazi Germany's armed forces throughout World War II, and even equipped East Germany's Volkpolizei in the years after 1945. Featuring full-colour artwork, expert analysis and archive and present-day photographs, this engaging study tells the story of the Luger, the distinctive and deadly semi-automatic pistol that has come to symbolize Germany's armed forces in the 20th century.

Book excerpt: While the PP and PPK were intended for police work, the Walther P 38 was produced for the Germany military; all three pistols have garnered a formidable international reputation since the 1930s. The innovative Walther PP (Polizeipistole), a double-action semi-automatic pistol intended for the law-enforcement market, became available in 1929 and went on to arm the police of several European countries in the 1930s. Its smaller cousin the PPK, more readily concealed for undercover work but with reduced magazine capacity, was produced from 1931. Intended to replace the P 08 Luger, the Walther P 38 was issued from 1940 and equipped the armed forces of Germany and other countries during and after World War II, but never entirely replaced the Luger in German service. All three pistols went on to have lengthy and varied service across the world after 1945. Both the PP and the PPK remain in production today, while the P 38 re-emerged as the P1 and equipped West German forces from 1963 until 2004, when it was replaced by the P8. In this study, noted authority John Walter assesses the origins, development, use and legacy of these three high-profile semi-automatic pistols, alongside other Walther variants, such as the tiny .25 ACP Modell 9.

Download or read book The Hand Gun Story written by John Walter and published by Grub Street Publishers. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A firearms expert “traces the history of the ‘one hand gun’ from its 14th century origins . . . surveying changing technology, techniques, and design” (Midwest Book Review). Ideally suited for both attack and self-defense, handguns have gotten smaller and deadlier. But the earliest pistols had a tendency to misfire. This was cured by the cap-lock, which proved a massive success in the American Civil War, with hundreds of thousands of cap-lock revolvers used on each side. Self-contained metal-case cartridges were to bring a fundamental change to handgun design: not only by allowing the introduction of revolvers that ejected automatically or were easily reloaded, but also by paving the way for the automatic pistol. World War I provided the handgun with a proving ground. At the end of the hostilities, with so much surplus weaponry, work on the handgun could have ceased; instead, a new developmental phase was begun by the nations that had emerged from the crumbling Imperial empires. During World War II, the efficiency of well-established designs was confirmed and new designs, such as the Walther P. 38, showed their potential. The emergence of the submachine-gun in 1945 reduced the status of the handgun—but only temporarily. The need for efficient self-defense shows no signs of lessening; and the rise in shooting for sport, particularly with the revolver, has sharpened the quest for efficiency. The never ending search for advanced production techniques shows that the handgun has as much a future in the twenty-first century as it had in the heyday of the Wild West, or in the trenches of Passchendaele.
