Nice pistol, I have a new one. If only these old guns could talk, it looks like it has seen some use.
The hi power was the best sidearm you could carry in WW2, well that and the 1911. Browning all the way!
The funny thing is Americans have a fixation on Lugers but most Germans didn't want them because they were obsolete. I get the impression from the biographies that the P38 was the side arm to have, unless you could get your hands on a hi power.
I'd love to get my hands on a German built 1911 but those are rare.
