I also love Walther P-38's and have three of them.
WWII P38 and two Post War P38's
And yes, Beretta's design extraction from the P-38 was not lost on me, either, as I have often shot a Taurus PT92, which is the cousin of the Beretta 92.

I would not mind picking up a Taurus PT917, which is a slightly shorter version of the PT92.
Blued version of the now discontinued Taurus PT917, which was a shortened version of the Taurus PT92.
