Don't shoot 9mm +P in the P38, you can blow the top cover off and have a shower of small expensive parts to find on the ground. Stick to standard velocity ammo.
Get a Wolff spring kit and replace the twin recoil springs if you are going to shoot the P38 often, cheap insurance.0 -
If you have a P1/post-war P38, these have aluminum frames that had a high failure rate. Until they added the hex bolt through the frame, which hold up well.

I have a P5 and have had it for about 30 years. Amazingly accurate for a 3 1/2" barrel. My only issue is that it is very thick for the 8 round magazine capacity. Also being left handed, the hammer drop does tend to bother my trigger finger. 0 -

Paul, the P-5 is a serviceable weapon. I came close to getting one back in the eighties. I had about a half-dozen wartime P-38's at the time and wanted a modern Walther 9mm.
After examining it up close, I discovered it's a P-38 with a Beretta slide. [}:)]
If you take a 92 Beretta apart, you see it's a p-38 with a long slide.
If you want an innovative pistol that has NEVER been duplicated, get yourself an early Sauer 38h in 7.65. It's double action with an enclosed hammer that uses a decocker AND A COCKING LEVER. W.H.B. Smith, Geoffrey Boothroyd, and Ian Hogg wrote extensively about this pistol.0 -
Mike, Beretta stole the design from Walther when they produced the 92....all for some air bases in Italy!...after all,you can't argue with "James Bond"...LOL!Wait till you see my P88! 0
