All production was performed at the Walther plant until mid- to late 1942 when additional production began at the plant in Oberndorf (code 'byf' until early 1945, then 'svw') and at the Spreewerk plant in Hradek and Nisou, ('cyq'). Production continued until the end of the war and into the post war period. This P38 production is estimated to have been produced in numbers nearly a million. The P38 concept was accepted by the military in 1938 but production of the actual prototype ('Test') pistols did not start until late 1939. Walther began manufacturing at their plant in Zella-Mehlis and produced three series of 'Test' pistols, designated by a '0' prefix to the serial number. The third series satisfied the previous problems and production for the Heer ( ) began in mid-1940, using Walther's military production identification code '480'. After a few thousand pistols the Heer changed all codes from numbers to letters and Walther was given the 'ac' code.

The P38 is a recoil-operated, locked breech design with a vertically tilting blocking bar that connects the 4.9 inch moving barrel and the slide. The P38 has a short, open top slide. A locking wedge under the barrel holds the slide and barrel together during recoil. When the wedge reaches the limiting point against the frame, it drops down, releasing the slide to return to its forward, locked position for the next round. The trigger is double-action, with an exposed hammer and trigger bar (the link between the trigger and sear) unusually located outside of the frame at the right side. This was the first DA military handgun, a design pioneered by Walther with the PP and PPK.

The slide catch is on the left side of the frame. The catch for the 8-round magazine is located at the bottom of the grip. There is a post front sight and notch rear sight. The standard safety also acted as a de-cocker, and was located at the left side of the slide. The frame and slide are all-steel while the grip plates are plastic. The Walther P38 could be dissembled easily and had multiple safety features.
