The Walther P38 (originally written Walther P.38) is a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol that was developed by Carl Walther GmbH as the service pistol of the Wehrmacht at the beginning of World War II.

HISTORY

Due to the high production cost of the Luger P08, Germany sought a replacement in 1927, selecting the Walther P38 in 1938. The P38 offered similar performance but was quicker to produce. Initially featuring a hidden hammer, the German Army requested an external hammer redesign. Accepted in 1938, prototype production began in late 1939 at Walther's Zella-Mehlis plant. Three series of "Test" pistols with a "0" serial number prefix were made, resolving issues by the third series. Mass production started in mid-1940. Experimental versions in .45 ACP and .38 Super were made but not mass-produced, while some 7.65×21mm Parabellum and .22 Long Rifle versions were sold.
