Walther P1 / P38 Cartridge Indicator Pin

P1 / P38 Indicator Pin

This is the cartridge indicator pin for the Walther P1 and P38, the slim rod in the slide that tells you whether a round is in the chamber. When the chamber is loaded, the pin's rear tip sticks out the back of the slide, where you can see it or feel it with a thumb. Owners and armorers keep one on hand to replace a pin that went missing during detail stripping or one that has bent or broken.

Features

• Loaded Chamber Indicator — A chambered cartridge pushes the pin rearward so its tip protrudes from the back of the slide as a visual and tactile signal.
• Fits Walther P1 And P38 — The pin is made for the P38 and its postwar P1 variant, which share this indicator design.
• German Army Issue — This is a genuine government-issue part from German military stocks, not an aftermarket copy.
• Three Locating Shoulders — Raised collars along the flat bar position the pin inside its channel in the slide.
• Slim Round Rear Tip — The narrow round end is the section that appears at the rear of the slide when a round is chambered.
• Dark Metal Finish — The pin has a dark matte finish that matches the original slide internals.
• Replacement Part — It restores the indicator function on a pistol whose original pin has been lost, bent or broken.

Bundeswehr Issue Part

West Germany's Bundeswehr adopted the P38 design after the war and later designated it the P1, and the loaded chamber indicator carried over unchanged. Because this part comes from German Army stores, it was made to the original military specification for the pistol. That makes it the right choice for owners who want their P1 or P38 to stay correct with issued parts.
