Walther P1 Hammer Strut

P1 Hammer Strut

This is the hammer strut for the Walther P1, the postwar version of the P38 that the West German Bundeswehr adopted as its service pistol. The strut is the small internal link between the hammer and the hammer spring. Without it, the hammer has no spring tension to drive it forward. P1 owners keeping a pistol running, restorers completing a parts set, and anyone holding spares for an issue sidearm will find it useful.

Features

• Genuine German Army Issue — This part comes from German Army stocks, so it is an original government part and not an aftermarket substitute.
• Hammer-To-Spring Link — The strut carries the force of the hammer spring to the hammer, which gives the hammer the energy it needs to strike when released.
• Made For The Walther P1 — It is a component of the P1, the Bundeswehr's 9x19mm service pistol, which is the standard 9mm Luger cartridge.
• Original Profile — A straight, flat shank runs into a curved upper section with a stepped, notched tip, following the factory part's shape.
• Black Finish — The strut has a dark black finish that matches the other internal parts of the pistol.
• Textured Surface — A fine stippled pattern runs along the length of the part on its face.
• Restoration And Spares — It works as a replacement for a lost or broken strut or as a spare to keep with a P1 parts kit.
• Gunsmith Fitting Recommended — This is an internal fire-control part, so have a qualified gunsmith install it if you are not comfortable working inside the frame.

Bundeswehr Service Part

The P1 served as the standard sidearm of the West German armed forces, and parts drawn from army stocks were made to the military's own pattern for that pistol. An issue part keeps a P1 correct for collectors and reenactors who want the pistol made up of original components. The strut is sold as a single part, with no spring or pins included.
