P-38
Re: P-38
Yeah, SirH what CT said. I'm no expert, the extend of my research basically consisting of a few hours.
And I don't care. I can tell you I was down to two guns at one point; this and my Winchester M 70.
Since then I rebuilt. But another thing that bears mentioning is how the M9 was based on the P-38; a fact that did not elude old Hickok45

Towards the end of the war, the quality of all three went down, so the earlier the better, 1943 being pretty good (before the bombings).Sir Henry wrote:Your P-38 isn’t a Walther?Henry88 wrote:.....but of course it's not a Walther.....
It’s a great pisol either way. It’s likesaying a WW2 Jeep is better if it was a Willys as opposed to a Ford GPW. Frankly, I’d prefer to have a GPW over aWillys. I find it surprising that there are no Wehrmacht proof marks on it?
One of my friends had a foot locker full of really cool stuff from his uncle who was a Major in WW2. Among the neat souvenirs was a silk map of Normandy from D-Day and a Schmeisser MP40. That one came to a sad end though.

Re: P-38
Well, full auto isn’t exactly legal here, and they changed some regulations and as part of that offered an amnesty if you turned in any guns. ie: if you have an Uzi buried in the back yard and were suddenly worried about ATF taking you down, you could drop it in at your local PD with no questions asked. Well, he’d just had his second kid and was nervous about having it around and turned it in. He should have had it deactivated and then it would at least be around still instead of being paper clips.Mags wrote:.... and the rest of the story is?
I try not to bring it up often as he still really regrets that choice.

Re: P-38
I have always wanted one of the P38 but never have come across one where I buy my guns.
