The Walther TP and TPH are a series of compact, lightweight, double-action semi-automatic pistols made by German arms manufacturer Walther. These pistols come chambered in .22 Long Rifle and .25 ACP. Pistols in this size range are sometimes referred to as pocket pistols, reflected by the manufacturer's designation of these models as "Taschenpistolen" in German (TPH stands for the "Taschenpistole, Hahn", or "pocket pistol, hammer" variant). The TP was produced by Walther from 1961 to 1971, and the improved TPH has been produced continuously since 1968. Models have been produced in Germany and (by Interarms) in the US. The TPH is blow-back operated and does not have a breech locking system. The barrel is fixed to the frame and fits tightly in the slide so that no bushing is needed. The recoil spring is assembled around the barrel and is retained and compressed by the slide such that no bushing is necessary. Unlike the Walther TP, with its open-top slide, the TPH has an enclosed breech with an ejection window. The extractor is an L-shaped piece of steel which is spring supported and positioned in a groove on the right side of the frame beside the striker.
