Walther did not chamber the PP for 9x18. It has been chambered for .22lr,
.25 ACP, .32 ACP, and .380 ACP.

I was politely reminded that Walther did indeed make the PP in 9x18 ULTRA
(nor Makarov). Wasn't the Ultra cartridge a NAZI late war development? And
wasn't the pistol called the PP Super?

The poster said it was the PP Super, which was indeed chambered for
9mm Ultra, which is in fact a 9x18mm cartridge (though not identical
to 9x18mm Makarov).

Yes they did...and the poster has one!
The PP Super was availiable in 9x18mm. Better find a better source of data BILLH!

Yes, Walther did. The PP Super came chambered in 9 mm Ultra. The original
post did NOT say PP, it said PP Super.

Cordially,

Yes, how absolutely true. What remains to be said is the fact that the 9 mm
Maka-
rov is a copy of the 9 mm Ultra as developed I believe by Genschow & Co in
Germany under Luftwaffe contract in either the late 30's or early 40's. From a

mechanical design standpoint, the Makarove pistol is a clever copy of the
Walther
PP...

The PP Super in 9x18 Ultra/Police is more common than its 9mm kurz
brother. Value may be between $ 300 and 500, I would guess.

I Believe this poster is correct...9mm Makarov and 9mm Ultra not the
same...both 18mm long, but Ultra may be .355 dia bullet, not .364 of Makarov.
Anybody confirm or deny? MatQuig

walther pp super only 4,000 made. Of those 4,000 only 1000 were chambered i
n .380. I own a mint in box walther pp super and it is chambered in 9x18 po
lice ultra which is NOT same as makarov, nor the same as .380 ammo neither
ammo recommended.=20

Midway usa carries the fiochii police ultra ammo from time to time. I waite
d 2 months to buy 100 rounds at about .60 cents per round. I have not fired
the pistol yet.=20

It is unfired mint in box. The grips are unique and better suited to my han
ds than my older ppk/s in .380.=20

This was a pistol developed to be used with a hotter round for the terroris
ts in germany back in 1971. See, way back then, these dirtbags were plannin
g nefarious deeds and the germans wanted a round hot enough to blow their b
rains all over the place. It was a good idea that never gained favor with t
he german police as they went with the standard 9mm round. I like my walthe
r 1941 p-38 better. It is a remarkable 9mm.
