Interesting opinion given that the PP dates from 1929! And of course the simplified PPK was a favourite of the Gestapo.
- mellavora 7y agoYes, the PP series were police guns, and the Gestapo were police. It was also one of the first double-action semi-automatic pistol, making it popular with police forces the world over in the years after WWII, including (at least according to one source) the CIA MAJ BOOTHROYD Walther PPK. 7.65mm with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. Takes a Brausch silencer, with little reduction in muzzle velocity. The American CIA swear by them.
