The Walther Model 4 is a compact, blowback-operated pistol chambered in 8.32 ACP, featuring a detachable box magazine and prominent slide texturing for grip. Despite its small size, it exhibits snappy recoil, though its forward balance offers slight assistance. The trigger pull is noted as smooth due to a long transfer bar, and while the safety is operable one-handed, it's not quick. The rear V-notch sight is functional, and the magazine release is considered adequate.

The Walther Model 6, developed in 1915, was Walther's attempt to create a 9mm Parabellum pistol for the German military, building on the success of the Model 4. Its simple blowback action required a significantly heavier slide and frame (34 oz vs. 19 oz for the Model 4) to safely handle the powerful cartridge. The German military ultimately rejected this design in favor of locked-breech systems, resulting in a low production run of only about 1,000 units, making it a rare historical firearm.
