The owner's manual shows you how to remove the barrel. Do NOT take any further action than that. Do NOT remove the slide. There's a very long, narrow spring that will quickly and suddenly pop out.

I regret having to score the Walther P38 low but the performance of the pistol was very disappointing. 1. It misfired often. 2. BB's would stick in the barrel requiring a rod to displace. 3. The slide had to be manually racked many times during the course of a 20 shot magazine. 4. The gun would shoot consistently to the left, an inch or more. The preceding problems begin to occur almost immediately (had fired only two CO2 cartridges). Have returned the pistol for an exchange.
Pros
A look and feel of the pistol was very impressive. A treat to handle.
Cons
See opening comments.
Very nice replica. At 10 yards it is very accurate and will spin a tin can around. Trigger pull was stiff at first but a little silicone spray and use freed it up nicely. Happy with this purchase!
Pros
Very nice replica. I have
been collecting air guns
for my grandsons to have
some day. Great addition to
have in the German collection.
Cons
As I stated trigger pull was
a little stiff at first.
A couple squirts of silicone,
and use it freed up nicely.
Geate pistol
I have the real thing, side by side they look very close.
Pros
Holds air pressure well, trigger is not bad for a replica. A fun gun to shoot.
Cons
Plastic grips don't look real. Battle worn finish would help the looks.
The finish and fit is perfect, accuracy is unbelievable, and the action functions perfectly.
Pros
BBs penetrated 3" in raw potato.
Cons
Trigger pull was just over 10 lbs., but after shooting it a lot and leaving the hammer cocked when not in use it has now dropped down to 6.2 lbs. I love the gun.
This is a beautiful pistol! It was fun for the first few magazine loads. After that, I started having problems. Not enough to send the gun back, but in retrospect, I should have. First problem: If I hesitated at the last moment on the trigger pull just before it tripped, I got a "no fire" with a round dribbling out the barrel or I'd get a "fizzle" sounding shot with no power behind it. I learned not to do that any more. The second major problem occurred when I disconnected the barrel. For some reason, when I pulled the slide back it separated from the frame and out popped a little spring. After several attempts to get the spring back and some warranty ending scratches to the frame, I finally got it working again. Maybe it was just my turn to get a gun with problems right out of the box or just a fluke. I should mention that out here on Maui everything costs an arm and a leg to ship from the mainland (I know Boo hoo! I know. Look where I live!). I try to fix what I can. On the positive side. I Had a good learning experience and I have lost not confidence in your products overall.
Pros
Nice looking gun. Good blow back action when it works. Good feel and balance.
Cons
Did a lot of research on this gun. For the price I'm a little disapointed. The trigger difficulty, the slide problem, and I should mention the magazine loading design. You spend a lot of time chasing bbs that pop throgh the loading port. I recommend holding a stiff piece of cardboard behind it.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.It shows a holster does it come with it,in this package.
asked Jeff from CanadaThe P38 does not come with the holster.
Mark from USAWas anyone VERY satisfied who has purchased this identical Walther CO2 P-38 pistol? I'm seriously considering purchasing this!
asked Dan from USAThe first review listed, the 2nd review of this pistol answers my question-I'm buying one! Walther makes all of their products with excellence, and the real P38 was the so revolutionary when originally produced, that it set a standard for all modern handguns today!
Dan from USAUmarex has mags for sale for $12.99 each. Anybody else sell them?
asked richard from USA
I wish the blowback went a little further back
Pros
Can you shoot this gun without its barrel? What happens if you do?
Cons
Excited to receive this gun
