How to Disassemble the Walther PP
The Walther PP was the first in the PP series of pistols. Originally released into service in 1929, the PP series has expanded to include the PPK, the PPK/S and the PPK/E. The PP designation stands for "Polizeipistole," which is German for "Police Pistol." The Walther PP is still in use by a variety of law enforcement agencies worldwide.
