Walther P88 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The Walther P88 is a semiautomatic pistol developed by German company Walther. Its main feature is a high-capacity double-stacked magazine designed for military and law enforcement use. The P88 was succeeded by the Walther P99 in 1997. The Walther P88 was mainly designed as a sidearm for military and law enforcement use. With the P88, Walther had the intention of being able to offer the German armed forces an adequate successor for the aging Walther P1. The designation “88” was chosen when the civilian marketing began in 1986/1987 in view of the 50th anniversary of the legendary Walther P38. It was also Walther's contribution to the US Army's Joint Service Small Arms Program (JSSAP XM9) handgun trials.
