This YouTube video explores Walther's P.38 pistol development, focusing on a prototype known as the "Armee Pistol" (Mod AP). The presenter highlights the key internal difference between the two: the AP's hidden hammer versus the P.38's exposed hammer, which enables double-action capabilities. The video includes a full disassembly of both pistols to illustrate these internal variations. It also briefly touches upon other Walther designs that preceded the PP pistol, such as the Model 4 and Model 6. A brief COVID-19 update is also mentioned.
This video delves into the Walther Model 3, a compact early .32 ACP semi-automatic pistol. Introduced around 1910, it was Walther's first foray into the pocket pistol market.

Only about 3500 were produced before being overshadowed by the larger Walther Model 4 during WWI. The video also touches on Walther's post-war focus shifting back to .25 ACP.

This video delves into the history and technical aspects of the Walther Model 6, a lesser-known WWI-era pistol. Introduced in 1915 as a scaled-up version of the popular Model 4, the Model 6 was chambered in 9x19mm. Despite its robust construction, the simple blowback action proved less ideal for this cartridge compared to locked-breech designs preferred by the military. Production ceased by 1917 with only about a thousand units made, though many saw private use during the war. The video highlights Walther's early attempts to enter the military handgun market.
