Walther Walther P38 9mm 4.9-inch
The Walther P38 replaced the Luger P08 as the standard German Wehrmacht service pistol, introducing a double-action trigger, a visible external hammer, and an automatic decocking/firing pin block safety to military service pistols. These innovations directly influenced virtually every subsequent service pistol design.
