This video explores the Gustloff Prototype Pistol, a rarely seen firearm developed by the German industrial giant Gustloff. Designed for police or SS use, this pistol features an alloy frame with steel inserts, a steel slide, a simple blowback mechanism, and a fixed barrel reminiscent of the Walther PPK. Notable features include a shrouded hammer, double-action trigger, and a unique safety lever that de-tensions the hammer spring. Approximately 200-300 were produced for evaluation but never secured a contract. Many of these pistols saw minimal combat use and were brought back as souvenirs by Allied soldiers after WWII. The example shown is a very early production unit, serial number 13.
