Once again pushing beyond the boundaries of expectations to meet this demand, Walther releases the extraordinary CCP M2 pistol in .380 ACP.</p> <p>The CCP – or Concealed Carry Pistol – is the first polymer pistol with Softcoil gas technology. This technology improves the user’s experience by reducing overall felt recoil and allowing the slide to be easily manipulated regardless of hand strength. The CCP is also the most ergonomic and comfortable handgun in Walther’s dynamic concealed carry lineup. Tool-less takedown and a fixed barrel allow for easy cleaning and maintenance, making this one of the most accessible pistols available today.</p> <p>Softcoil Gas Technology utilizes the gasses fired from the round to delay recoil with a piston attached to the slide. This gas-delayed blow-back system works hand-in-hand with Walther’s fixed barrel semi-automatic system, making it the softest shooting .380 ACP on the market.</p> <p>With additional popular features such as an external safety, front, and rear slide serrations and a reversible magazine release, the CCP M2 handgun is sure to become a valuable addition to your everyday carry.</p>The post <a href="https://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/hand-guns/walther-ccp-m2-in-380-acp-now-shipping/">Walther CCP M2 in .380 ACP Now Shipping</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.armoryblog.com">Armory Blog</a>.]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/hand-guns/walther-ccp-m2-in-380-acp-now-shipping/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">10176</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Walther and Smith & Wesson Part Ways</title> <link>https://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/walther-and-smith-wesson-part-ways/</link> <comments>https://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/walther-and-smith-wesson-part-ways/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Ray]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 01 Jul 2012 18:26:42 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Firearms]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Smith & Wesson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[walther]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.armoryblog.com/?p=3970</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>It was recently announced that starting next year Smith & Wesson will no longer be the importer and distributor for Walther firearms in the United States.

Walther Arms Inc, a new company formed by the PW Group who owns CARL WALTHER GmbH Sportwaffen and Umarex will take over distributon. Smith & Wesson has been the distributor for Walther in the U.S. since 1999.</p> <blockquote><p>Arnsberg, Germany based PW Group, owners of shooting sports companies, CARL WALTHER GmbH Sportwaffen and Umarex, announce the formation of Walther Arms, Inc. to handle all the importation, sales, marketing, distribution and servicing of Walther products in the United States. The transition will occur in two phases beginning January 1, 2013. Previously, Smith & Wesson held responsibility for the distribution of Walther firearms and accessories in the United States. On January 1, that responsibility will be handled by the newly formed Walther Arms, Inc. with the exception of the Walther P22 and PK380 models, which Smith & Wesson will continue to sell and distribute through April 30, 2013.</p> <p>Walther and Smith & Wesson will maintain their strategic alliance on several fronts—Smith & Wesson will continue to manufacture the PPK for Walther Arms, Inc. and CARL WALTHER will continue to manufacture the M&P22 handgun for S&W. Additionally, Umarex will continue to license the Smith & Wesson brand for airgun products. “We are extremely thankful for the relationship we have had and will continue to have with the quality organization of Smith & Wesson,” said Wulf-Heinz Pflaumer, President of PW Group. “Smith & Wesson has been an outstanding partner and has represented the Walther brand in the U.S. with tremendous focus, effort and results. We look forward to many more years of strategic alliance with Smith & Wesson.”<br /> <span id="more-3970"></span><br /> “We are excited about the formation of our new company, Walther Arms, Inc. It will allow us to intensify our focus on the U.S. firearms market,” said Pflaumer. The Walther brand is a legend in the firearms industry with a rich history of design, innovation and outstanding German manufacturing. “Walther is known throughout the world as a leader in handgun innovation and quality. The new U.S. based Walther Arms allows a more direct influence from the U.S. consumer’s wants and needs into our product development.” said Karl Heinz-Luther, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, CARL WALTHER GmbH Sportwaffen.</p> <p>Walther Arms, Inc. will begin operations sharing a corporate campus in Fort Smith, Arkansas with Umarex USA, another company in the PW Group. Adam J. Blalock has been named President & CEO of Walther Arms, Inc. and will also remain as President & CEO of Umarex USA. “We are extremely grateful for the way Smith & Wesson has represented Walther and we look forward to our continued relationship with them”, said Blalock, “We will have a dedicated team focused on meeting the needs of U.S. consumers with high quality, innovative products worthy of the Walther brand. We are very thankful for the many loyal Walther customers and we’re excited for the opportunity to serve them.”</p></blockquote>The post <a href="https://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/walther-and-smith-wesson-part-ways/">Walther and Smith & Wesson Part Ways</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.armoryblog.com">Armory Blog</a>.]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/walther-and-smith-wesson-part-ways/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">3970</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Yet Another Cracked Walther P-22 Slide</title> <link>https://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/hand-guns/yet-another-cracked-walther-p-22-slide/</link> <comments>https://www.armoryblog.com/firearms/hand-guns/yet-another-cracked-walther-p-22-slide/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Ray]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 29 May 2012 16:00:46 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Handguns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[.22lr]]></category> <category><![CDATA[walther]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.armoryblog.com/?p=3638</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Along with the Sig Sauer Mosquito, the Walther P-22 seems to be one of those .22lr pistols everyone warns you not to get.

Many point out the fact that these pistols use a cast zinc-alloy slide, a.k.a. pot metal, which tends to fracture over time. If that’s the case how come companies such as Walther and Sig continue to outsource their .22lr pistols to makers who use zinc-alloy?
