#Walther

Walther is entering the centerfire hunting rifle market with quite an interesting offering that the company says is the future of hunting. The new Walther RS 3 is a bullpup straight-pull rifle. As hunting with silencers is becoming increasingly popular, the main reason Walther went with a bullpup design is to keep the rifle compact and well-balanced when a suppressor is attached without sacrificing the barrel length. The RS 3 rifle actually comes with a Walther QSA silencer and with that suppressor attached to the 23” (58cm) barrel, the overall length of the rifle is 41” (104cm).

Walther Arms, Inc. has announced a formal suspension of production for the PPK, PPK/S, and PP handgun lines as the company initiates a multi-year modernization program. The pause marks the temporary close of a manufacturing lineage that stretches back nearly a century and includes some of the most recognizable pistols in the world.

Photo Of The Day: Walther Arms, Inc. posted Gunslaps’ images of the steel-framed Walther PDP SF Compact Pro with a custom Cerakote, hourglass porting and V-Spec guide rod. Even the Aimpoint ACRO P2 got custom Cerakoted. A few of my friends have started competing with Walther pistols, so I’m pretty keen on trying one of them and getting an opinion.

Photo Of The Day: If you see someone wearing this watch, it’s a clear sign that the person is armed - probably more than with just style. This exclusive ensemble unites two icons of German engineering — the Walther PDP Steel Frame and the Sinn 358 Walther chronograph — into a symphony of mechanical precision and purposeful design.

Walther has two new consumer promotions for pistol buyers. One includes a red dot with purchase of a PDP, the other offers free ammo with rimfire pistols. As with any promotional deal there are terms and restrictions, so let’s check out the fine print.

If you’ve read a James Bond novel or watched the movies, you probably know that he’s used all sorts of firearms, but he’s best known for toting one specific pistol: A Walther PPK. And now, Walther has released a new version of that pistol that might be the pistol that James Bond would actually carry since it’s easily suppressed. Behold, the Walther PPK/S SD, complete with threaded barrel!

Walther’s national TEQ (Trigger, Ergonomics, and Quality) Fest event was held from September 20-22 “celebrating the brand’s commitment to performance and engaging customers across the country.” The event took place at several dozen participating dealers from coast to coast and showcased the launch of six new additions to the Walther pistol lineup, from modern refreshes to brand-new models.
