She looked at me through her long, silky eyelashes: "Is that a longslide Walther PP in your pocket.." she paused and added "or are you just glad to see me".

Yeah except for I think the whole point of the book character James Bond was that he was a gentleman who persuaded his way around and had a tiny minimalist subtle gun that he could hide. but they had a gunfighter thing was way secondary to the smooth talker thing. what was supposed to be cool about it was how tiny and sneaky it was not but it was a powerful gun. Although sometimes the way the author talks about it gives you the impression that he was not a gun guy and just asked his gun guy friends what gun they thought it was cool and he assumed it was powerful. 32acp
@@GunFunZS although... I'm surprised now that Bond would have used a Walther, being Brrriitish. There just aren't any small concealable iconic British pistols though, are there?
Wow what a great looking target pistol! I have always been a fan of Walther. The first one I ordered in for a local Highway Patrol Officer was the Walther TPH in .22 LR. The little pistol was just amazing, in fact I almost ordered myself one, but my good wife sort of put the KIBOSHKSKY on it. The HP officer used the little hide out gun for a backup and wanted quality and performance, which is a standard at Walther.
The PP/PPK pistols are actually, surprisingly accurate. The fixed barrel and good single-action trigger will yield groups nearly on par with decent .22 pistols.
Very nice. I have two Nazi Police pistols. Eagle C and F marked PPK and PP respectively. I hope they weren’t used to commit war crimes. Both from Legacy Collectibles a few years ago. They are a reliable go to source for historical firearms.
@@redram5150 My Hardballer Longslide .45 worked just fine, they get a bad rap mostly from people that don't own them or don't run them with enough oil. Heck it was a blast putting 1K rounds throught it(most I've put through any 1911) it only liked FMJ ammo but I never had any issues with it, had a great trigger, and it was exceptionally accurate due the extended sight radius and longer barrel and slide. Only reason I got rid of mine is it just wasn't a practical handgun, was only good as a range blaster, if it fed JHP I would have been tempted to try using it for handgun hunting.
M. W. I have an Automag II and IV. Neither can fire more than three rounds without FTF or stovepiping. And in the IV the mags can’t be fully loaded if I expect it to run at all. And before anyone goes there, I clean them thoroughly and have tried several different oils as well as parts smithing/polishing
Walther!!! If you are listening, please make these again. Preferably in black. I own some pp's and would buy one of these. It's super cool and I didn't know they existed until today. One of these in .32 and u will sell at least one!!!!
1932! the satin, dull finish is au currant in 2020. Amazed. Good/tasteful designs cross decades.If they made a repro, now in 2020, it would sell like hot cakes.
The only thing holding this pistol back from having that perfect air of Swiss elegance is the eidgenössisches Wappen with burst accents on the slide like the 1900 model Lugers we were the first to adopt. 🇨🇭 🇨🇭 🇨🇭
I’m guessing the earliest use of the 32 acp for target shooting, the under rated (in the us) ctg. Is inherently very accurate, and is used to this day in Olympic competition. Thanks Ian for sharing this!
@@randomnobodovsky3692 now that you mention it, you may be right, I forgot about the 32 long. But I know the basic 32 was a accurate ctg and soft shooting.
A quick check to see if a PP or PPK is early is to take a look at the safety/decocker: If it is a 90 degree, as this one, it is made before 1935. If it is a approximately 60 degree safety it is newer.
The PPK is the Kurz (short, compact) version of the original PP, so even a regular PP would be longer than a PPK. And then there's this extended longslide PP …
Oh yeah, thanks. I'm just so used to saying ppk, as everyone knows what it is. I still find this long slide version, way more sexy than the standard length.
Most likely fired many times. I think the seal is prof of pre-competition inspection. It is done to ckeck that the gun is by the rules, like: trigger pull, weight etc. You can also see the wear on the sides of the trigger: Many fireings.
@webtoedman Surely the current production of PPK and PPK/s are manufactured utilizing CNC machining to some extent. From my narrow perspective, I would think they could just make it longer. The R&D, Machinists and Assembly laborers at Walther would probably roll their eyes and shake their heads at such an assumption. (Nein, so einfach ist das nicht!)
Ian, I think your comparison pistol is actually a model PP, not PPK based on the longer barrel in the blue gun. Just a small detail, but I thought I would note it.

Oh my, that's quite a long PP indeed
Someone probably already mentioned this, but "verchromt" means "chrome-plated". Just as a side note!

Mr. Bond: "Long... Extra Long."

"Hey pal, just what you see."

That was exactly what I was looking in the comments. I was right I'm not the only one who thought about T-800 shopping.
Loads magazine and blows the guy away lol
I see what you did there. 😎

"An elegant weapon for a more civilized age." I think that quote fits this gun.
I'm not sure 1930s Germany would be my idea of a "more civilised age"

You'd probably have to put a rocket in a pocket (or two) to afford this gun.

@@Chilly_Billy Actually I took "violet eyes" straight from Sapkowski's Witcher, but yeah, I did read a few proper noir stories in my life.
I love the PP/PPK and all variations. They were the first pistols that got me into collecting firearms. This one is particularly good looking. 👍
This is one of the very rarest bears. 90 degree safety makes this is a very early series PP.
Agreed,this gun is extremlly rare and is just such a treat to see,hes lucky he even gets to see it if I be competlly honest
Now this, this is what James Bond should have used.
I was thinking that myself
It looks like spy gun to me.
Very classy

Now we need a double-stack walther PP with a long slide, so we can say "i have a longer PP and a bigger load"
Don't forget the +P ammunition, for hotter loads
I too have a long barrel pp.
in a small caliber?
Would you let me handle it?
Is it modified?
Lol
I hope you clean and maintain it regularly. You don’t want a blockage 😝

What a beautiful pistol. The embellishments are very tasteful. Thank you for sharing!
That is a very good looking gun, it is just on the edge of seeming out of proportion.
Very Cool Walther Model PP !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing this rare Walther Model PP, Gun Jesus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dream of a long slide pistol in mouse calibers like this one, a lot.
like a bersa thunder .380 plus long slide.
Very nice. I have two Nazi Police pistols. Eagle C and F marked PPK and PP respectively. I hope they weren’t used to commit war crimes.
Both from Legacy Collectibles a few years ago. They are a reliable go to source for historical firearms.
I like that the trigger shows signs of at least some use. Guns that are in great condition while also having been used are extra nice.
Almost 90 years old and it still looks brand new.
Beautiful design and execution.
I absolutely love your taste in guns and your video quality choices. Thank you Ian!
This gun looks absolutely gorgeous!
Short and sweet! Thanks Ian!
Glad to see you at legacy yesterday.

Perfect aesthetics. Such a beautiful thing.
I’m surprised AMT didn’t try to get on board with this.

Big PP energy
God what a beautiful pistol
would love to see a Walther P 88 once on this channel!
PPs are absolutely beautiful gun
It's funny to see Walther still changes the color of their triggers for the fancier guns.
Walther makes fine pistols.
This at the top end of that quality.
As usual with pre war Walther. The quality is top notch.

I cannot even fathom the price that this pistol would bring if it were ever placed in an auction!
Newspaper headline in Germany -
Swiss target shooters favour extended PP
Take this bad boy to that back-up gun match.
Damn i never knew that existed before
Very nice, finish is cool.
Verchromt means chrome plated
I had a feeling Ian was going to get ahold of this one; that PP is a beautiful thing! Now there's a fun sentence to say. Say it with me. PP PP PP PP
Wow. Awesomest PP yet.
Call it the Walther Big PP.
Nice trigger
Doesn’t get a whole lot better imo
I wouldn't mind using a long PP as a neat carry gun.
That is such a nice pistol
That's one sweet pistol!
Just a tiny correction:
If only 10 pieces were made, then serial numbers run from 779150 to 779159.
Gorgeous.
1932 and the seal is still intact! I wonder if the gun has ever been fired?

I can just imagine the terminator asking for this if it was in Europe
OMG one of those in .22lr would be awesome.
All aboard the PP Bus!
intresting piece never seen of it as a long barrel
That is gorgeous!
I would love to see a video on the cosmonaut survival guns.
I wonder why Walther doesn't currently produce this firearm in a variety of calibers?
@webtoedman Surely the current production of PPK and PPK/s are manufactured utilizing CNC machining to some extent. From my narrow perspective, I would think they could just make it longer.

That's a nice looking pistol, the next step up would be an engraved version
Ian: interestin, rare gun

I hope Bersa will make a Thunder Plus with a long slide one day. 🤞
Not a forgotten weapon, but the ef88 austeyr would be a great video to watch, see what the difference is to the Steyr Aug.
