My new P-38

Attachment 21572I got this P-38 at a gun show last sat. allways wanted one, paid $450 for it, looks like new on the inside, very clean, all matching no.s. hope i did OK.

Looks good, my choice for my next pistol.

Nice find, Congrats!

Very Nice. Looking at one of these Myself. I think You did well on price....

is it import marked? loks like a RC to me.

That looks like a winner Boos! I also think they're about as much fun to shoot following my 1911A1. The double action/single action is really cool and Walthers still uses that same design on their modern guns - If you have a misfire you don't have to pull the slide to clear the round, you get to pull the trigger again and it re-cocks. Most every round goes off the second time it's struck.

I don't know what makes yours look like an RC - I've seen RC's from really bad to almost mint.

I have a postwar P-38 (P-1) with import markings that I shoot a lot.

I also have a 1943 all matching, great condition that I've only put a magazine or so through. I bought it from an acquaintance for $600.

Nice Harlan! I might have miss spoke as I'm looking at a WWII 1911A1 for my next pistol but if a good deal on a P 38 pops up well you know me?

Very nice. I just picked up an RC P38. Its an AC 42.

I owned a P-38 several years ago and can vouch for them being really great shooting pistols. I've recently been looking for another one and from what I'm seeing, you made a very good buy on this one. Enjoy.

I bought an E. German HP years ago it was a turned in police gun. I like it a lot and it has been a great tool and teaching aid. It is an all steel gun too.

It came with three war time magazines off the back of SGN.
