Walther P38: full disassembly & assembly

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. It was intended to replace the costly Luger P08, the production of which was scheduled to end in 1942.
The moving-barrel mechanism is actuated by a wedge-shaped hinged locking piece underneath the breech. When the pistol is fired, the barrel and slide recoil together, until the hinged locking piece drives down, disengaging the slide and arresting further rearward movement of the barrel. The slide continues its rearward movement on the frame, ejecting the spent case and cocking the hammer before reaching the end of travel. Unlike most autopistols which eject empty cases to the right, the Walther P38 ejects empty cases to the left. Two recoil springs on either side of the frame and below the slide, having been compressed by the slide's rearward movement, drive the slide forward, stripping a new round from the magazine, driving it into the breech and re-engaging the barrel; ending its return travel with a fresh round chambered, hammer cocked and ready to repeat the process.

In my personal opinion, I think it is the best performance & design pistol of all the pistols developed so far😍

Prima. My gun of service at the "Deutsche Bundewehr". Before I had the chance to disassamble it for the first time it has been replaced by the HK "P8", in 1999. Thx for your Vid !

This saved my bacon after a routine cleaning went wrong. Thank you!

Got an older one, tore it down to nothing, and refinished and rebuilt it. Needed a new transfer bar. Such a helpful video, thanks, and thanks to Numrich!
Nice shooting pistol. Didn't realize how pivotal the Walther P38 design was: the basis of the Beretta 92, and then on to hammer-fired SA/DA's all over.
