In 1998 I found a Walther P 38 at a gun show. It was in pristine condition, with all matching numbers and After bargaining for sometime the prize came home with me. It will definitely be passed down to my son. it is unique that it ejects the brass to the left side.

Interesting indeed. Which one was more appreciated as a trophy the P38 or Luger?

Was it at the neo-Nazi booth which are quite common at gun shows?

Bought my P.38, my first handgun, in 1981 - an AC41. Still in the family 42 years later, now owned by my eldest. Excellent design.

I just bought my first p38 tonight. I hope it isnt too bad. Got it as s surplus firearm.

I like d/a, s/a, decocker, loaded chamber indicator. Been carrying it for seven years.

In 1980 I bought an Interarms p38. Came with a leather holster 2 magazines and the pistol in a big colorful box. All for 225.00 dollars. Needed cash and had to sell it, Nice pistols.

Loved seeing the Ordnance Bomb on your fatigue cover. and the pistols pretty cool too. ^~^

Walther P38 is very nice pistol and much power.

Same gun used by Lupin in the old Japanese anime titled Lupin the Third

I purchased my P-38 in 1976, after I had turned 21, at a pawn shop in Longivew WA for $125. It was my first firearm purchase. I still take it to the range and discharge 100 rounds of 9mm a couple of times a year. By the way, Walther is pronounced by Germans as Valter. The "h" is silent. Otherwise, this was a great video.

I have my P38 and the original war prize paperwork.. great sidearm..

own one that was cerakoted and primo wood grips had the hammer spring lightened up great gun PS I believe the reason it ejects to the left the man who built it was left handed

I like the part where he says “now to give a more historically accurate test🔯🔫”

Never get the same respect as the Luger, but it’s more deserving of respect for being a better handgun.

The Luger was more reliable

​@@sirnoname6943No, it wasn't. P-38 was more reliable.

It was much cheaper to produce than the Luger, just as accurate and much more reliable. Those were the biggest factors. Also, same caliber and same capacity as the Luger.

One hand in your pocket, that’s old school.

I think that was common amongst Bullseye Pistol competitors, one hand grip/ other hand in pocket. Firing at 25 & 50 yard targets. Circa 1930-1960, maybe?

🤩Wow , The U.N.C.L.E. organization ( ;D) had this gun but modified tactical (1960s).

I remember this gun from Deadliest Warrior.

Fired with it and fell in love before the bullet hit the target.

I always wonder if they ever tried to just scale up the PPK into duty pistol size

Believe they did, but the 9mm was too much for a blowback design handgun.

LEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOY JENKIIIIIIIIIIINS

👍👍

I can’t believe they made a video on the P38 without mentioning U.N.C.L.E or Megatron.

I see your channel. Your video topic is very good. There is a problem in your channel, so the video is not viewed. For example, your channel's video SEO is not good done, thumbnail is not good, title problem,

Isn't this the longest serving pistol in any military? They were using this well into the 60's.

No, the 1911 is the longest serving pistol. From 1911 until 1986 for the majority of the U.S. military and into the 2000s for Special Forces.

Either that fellow doesn’t have much strength in his arms or he is just exaggerating the recoil?

@blatherskite9601

The weight in the P.38 is way back at the grip end, so you get quite a bit of muzzle flip.

Sometimes if you're trying not to anticipate recoil for an accurate shot, you let the recoil do its thing because you were focused solely on not jerking the trigger.
