Wrong store. Mighty slim pickins of late, thanks Gun Bunny.
You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. —CHARLES A. BEARD

Another knife to a gun fight.
Ho hum.
I have a post-WWII Mahnurin P1 version of the P38. Nice pistol, shoots well, easy to clean & maintain. BUT….shoot only “white box” 9mm through it. Ask me how I know.
Yep…taking a knife to a gunfight generally means one will be referred to in the past (passed) tense. “was” “lived”
slim pickins, indeed. Wasn’t even anything hiding behind a paywall. Odd, that, but we will endeavor…we will persevere.
I freely admit that I am guilty as all hell of being a dangerous citizen.
Several things with the designation of “P-38” are quite useful and perform as useful tools. A can opening device and a fine all around twin engine fighter/close air support aircraft come to mind in addition to the Walther product. I will defer to our very own Graybeard’s opinion on Walther’s current offerings.
I think I have mentioned that I have Dad’s captured P-38, shoots well. Several things well ahead of its time safety-wise. White-box ammo only is a fact – but I never dared to try anything else.
We have beaten that dead horse about the current Walther offerings and “service” (like a bull services a cow) about enough, unless someone needs details.
If these perps could / would read the 3-ring binder they might even be smart enough to not try a life of crime. As it is we can point and laugh.
