Walther P38 .30 Luger
« on: June 02, 2021, 03:52:38 PM »
A month ago I helped a friend identify and appraise a few guns from a 90 yrs old gentleman who wanted to sell them.

Amongst them was a nice Walther P38 in .30 Luger, built in 1976. It came home with me.





I dressed it up with the wooden grips of my 9mm















With the 9mm





At the 25 m range

Very very Nice!  8)  Congratulations!  :)

I have a WWII AC Code 44 Walther P38 and two Post War P38's made in 1961 and 1963, all in 9mm.

Are your ‘61 and ‘63 also alloy frames, or steel ?

Don’t hesitate to show them here

I don’t reload this caliber, but it’s still readily available and I have over 5000 rds
