- The Walther PP ("Polizeipistole" or "Police Pistol") is a series of blowback short-recoil, semi-automatic pistols produced by Walther Arms. Initial production began back in 1929, a full 4 years before the rise of the Nazi Party. It was first issued to Police and law enforcement officials, but would later be issued to members of the Nazi Party alongside the Mauser C96, Luger P08 and Walther P38. After the war, the pistol became rather popular with other militaries and even popularized by civilians.
- The Walther PP is a semi-automatic pistol part of the PP series. Developed by Carl Walther Waffenfabrik of Germany.
- The original PP (Polizeipistole) was released in 1929. It was designed for police use and was used by police forces in Europe in the 1930s and later. The semi-automatic pistol operated using a simple blowback action. The PP was designed with several safety features, some of them innovative, including a firing pin block and a loaded chamber indicator. The most common variant is the PPK (Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell, "police pistol detective model"), a smaller version of the PP with a shorter grip, barrel, frame and reduced magazine capacity. The smaller size made it more concealable than the original PP and hence better suited to plainclothes or undercover work. It was released in 1931.
- In the Dixon Hill series of holographic programs, Felix Leech, a hit man for Cyrus Redblock, owned a stainless steel Walther PP with pearl grips. This weapon was fired by Leech, wounding Whalen in the process. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye" ) In the holoprogram Julian Bashir, Secret Agent, the scientist Doctor Hippocrates Noah and the secret agent Julian Bashir were armed with the Walther PPK, a variant of the Walther PP. Dr. Noah's gun was nickel-plated and Bashir's gun was one of many hand-held weapons he kept stored, ready for use, in his apartment's armory. (DS9: "Our Man Bashir")
