"Extra power" springs are NOT needed or recommended in the Walther. Of the Walther's you'll see with cracked or broken frames, almost all are either very old guns that were heavily used in German service, OR the new owner was shooting hot ammo or installed "extra power" recoil springs. You CAN shoot modern defense ammo as long as it's standard power ammo, and you're willing to do some experimentation to find a brand/type of ammo your specific gun will work well with. These guns were designed to use standard 9mm ammo, and when people shoot hotter ammo, the gun is subjected to stress it wasn't designed to take. Shoot hot ammo or don't properly clean or maintain it and it won't last. When fired with the 124 grain, full metal jacket ammo they were designed to work with, they are very reliable.ĭurability: Durability is a function of the ammo and how well you take care of it. Later was used also by the German police as well.Reliability: The Walther P-38/P1 is a military and police gun and as such HAD to be reliable. The P1 was developed as the service pistol of the German Army. Cartridge, trigger guard, sights and grips are really well designed. However, this model can meet demands of those who are funs of concealed carry as well as those who are able to carry openly. When considering the suitability of this model for concealed carry it is highly subjective and difficult to generalized. It is a short recoil operated, striker fired pistol. Barrel length of this gun is 4.9 inches and overall length is 8.5 inches. What seems to be the best amount for this model as the designers judged each option. Maximum magazine capacity of this model is 8 rounds. This gun is chambered with the 9mm ammunition and offers a quite accurate firing. It can be used for the military, law enforcement or civilian use as well. Design and materials were quite well chosen due to the demands of shooters.
Result of the development of the firearm designers is the pistol which is popular among plenty of shooters in several countries. It was designed with a well balanced features that makes this pistol very reliable. This model, the Walther P1 is a semi automatic pistol that is well constructed.
